What does the brake pedal mean?

[EllieAnn]

The brake pedal is the pedal that restricts power, also known as the foot brake pedal. There are three types of braking systems: 1. Foot brake: The most commonly used brake while driving is operated by the foot, hence it is also called the foot brake. When the driver presses the brake pedal, the braking force is transmitted mechanically or hydraulically to the wheel's braking device to generate friction. 2. Parking brake: Also known as the hand brake, it is a braking device used to prevent the vehicle from slipping when parked. There are generally two types: the intermediate braking type installed on the drive shaft and the direct control rear wheel braking type. 3. Anti-lock braking system (ABS): When driving on slippery or icy low-friction roads, excessive braking can occur, causing the wheels to lock up and lose traction, leading to a loss of control over the vehicle's direction. To enable effective control of the vehicle's direction on such hazardous roads, the ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) was developed.
