  2. Brake balance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_balance

    The brake balance or brake bias of a vehicle is the distribution of brake force at the front and rear tires, and may be given as the percentage distributed to the front brakes (e.g. 52%) [1] or as the ratio of front and rear percentages (e.g. 52/48). [2]

  3. Rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rear-engine,_rear-wheel...

    The farther back the engine, the greater the bias. Typical weight bias for an FF (front engine, front-wheel-drive) is 65/35 front/rear; for FR, 55/45; for MR, 45/55; for RR, 35/65. A static rear weight requires less forward brake bias, as load is more evenly distributed among all four wheels under braking. Similarly, a rear weight bias means ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expected_marginal_seat_revenue

    EMSR stands for Expected Marginal Seat Revenue and is a very popular heuristic in Revenue Management. There are two versions: EMSRa [1] and EMSRb, [2] both of which were introduced by Peter Belobaba. Both methods are for n-class, static, single-resource problems.

  5. Brake tester - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_tester

    During the test, the computer measures the brake force values and the system will calculate the imbalance between the left and right brake forces of an axle, as well as the brake efficiency of the service brake and the parking brake provided that a vehicle weight is either inputted manually or by using an integrated weighing system. [2]

  6. Car costs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car_costs

    Car finance comprises the different financial products which allows someone to acquire a car with any arrangement other than a single lump payment. When used, and for the purpose of assessing the private financial costs, one must consider only the interests paid by the car owner, as some part of the amount the owner pays each month for the finance is already embedded in the depreciations costs.

  8. Limited-slip differential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limited-slip_differential

    A significant difference between the limited-slip differential systems listed above and this brake-based system, is that brake-based systems do not inherently send the greater torque to the slower wheel, plus the added brake friction material wear that results from the use of such a system if the vehicle is driven in an environment where the ...

    Expected costs of safe behavior (e.g., using an uncomfortable seat belt, being called a coward by one's peers, time loss) Wilde noted that when Sweden changed from driving on the left to driving on the right in 1967, this was followed by a marked reduction in the traffic fatality rate for 18 months after which the trend returned to its previous ...
