2. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

   On a motorcycle, an anti-lock brake system prevents the wheels of a motorcycle from locking during braking situations. Based on information from wheel speed sensors the ABS unit adjusts the pressure of the brake fluid in order to keep traction during deceleration to avoid accidents. Motorcycle ABS helps the rider to maintain stability during ...

3. Brembo - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brembo

   Brembo specializes in performance braking systems and components as well as conducting research on braking systems. Brembo sells over 1,300 products worldwide and is known for their aftermarket automotive brake components, including calipers, drums , rotors, and brake lines.

4. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   The diameter and length of the master cylinder has a significant effect on the performance of the brake system. A larger diameter master cylinder delivers more hydraulic fluid to the caliper pistons, yet requires more brake pedal force and less brake pedal stroke to achieve a given deceleration.

5. Maxaret - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxaret

   The Jensen FF, which Sports Illustrated called the safest car in the world.. Dunlop's Maxaret was the first anti-lock braking system (ABS) to be widely used. Introduced in the early 1950s, Maxaret was rapidly taken up in the aviation world, after testing found a 30% reduction in stopping distances, and the elimination of tyre bursts or flat spots due to skids.

6. Regenerative braking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_braking

   What are described as dynamic brakes ("rheostatic brakes" in British English) on electric traction systems, unlike regenerative brakes, dissipate electric energy as heat rather than using it, by passing the current through large banks of resistors. Vehicles that use dynamic brakes include forklift trucks, diesel-electric locomotives, and trams.

7. Brake-by-wire - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake-by-wire

   In the current brake-by-wire systems used in passenger and light truck vehicles, the system is designed to use existing sensors that have been proven to be dependable in brake system components and systems including ABS and VSC systems. The highest potential risk for brake system failure has proven to be the Brake Control System software.
