Braking 2002

The latest braking technology from heavy trucks to compact cars

Braking 2000: From the Driver to the Road explores the latest in braking technology from research and development around the world. As road vehicle manufacturers continually strive for safety and comfort, new approaches to all aspects of braking are playing a central role in the evolution of the industry. This book examines the latest analytical and experimental work into brake noise and vibration, friction interface materials, tire and road surface properties, steering, suspension, actuators, electronic controls, intelligent integrated systems, energy regeneration and much more.
