Brake tests to evaluate the human behaviour at different brake pedal characteristics

Abstract

-Brake-by-wire represents the replacement of traditional brake components such as pumps, hoses, fluids, brake boosters, and tandem master cylinders by electronic sensors and actuators. The different design of these brake concepts poses new challenges for the automotive industry with regard to availability and fallback levels in comparison to standard conventional brake systems. In order to evaluate this, the was investigated during a static vehicle braking simulator test. Participants modes: normal brake function, booster breakdown and brake circuit failure. The interpretation of these results and designed driver warning approach fed into a coordinated driver warning and information concept adapted to the brake failure is helpful safe stop
