What are the factors affecting braking distance?
1 Answers
Factors affecting braking distance include driving speed, road conditions, driver condition, tire condition, and vehicle condition. Below is an introduction to automotive brakes: 1. Introduction: Automotive brakes are the braking devices of a vehicle, and almost all brakes used in vehicles are friction-based. 2. Categories: They can be divided into two main types: drum brakes and disc brakes. In drum brakes, the rotating element of the friction pair is the brake drum, with its working surface being cylindrical; in disc brakes, the rotating element is the rotating brake disc, with its working surface being the end face. 3. Function: Automotive brakes are components that generate forces (braking forces) to resist vehicle movement or the tendency of movement, including retarders in auxiliary braking systems.
