Brake performance is evaluated by the varying pedal ratios
Keywords:
Performance, Pedal, Vehicle, Society, Braking forcesAbstract
The proper pedal design work also determines the size of master cylinder to be adopted for the vehicle. Depending on pedal ratio the work can be extended for study of pedal travel. Brake performance is evaluated by the varying pedal ratios and pedal force other than standard ratio a slight variation which resulted in the ratio gives more sustainable results under respective load conditions. As described in the above work a very slight variation in the pedal ratios show a large variation in the braking forces. Therefore by maintaining proper pedal ratios, the length of the pedal can be made compact and with effective braking effects. This phenomenon is useful in case of racing vehicles as it reduces the effort of driver.
