  2. Sensotronic Brake Control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensotronic_Brake_Control

    Sensotronic Brake Control ( SBC) is an electro- hydraulic brake system developed by Daimler and Bosch. In this system, the wheel brake cylinders of a vehicle are operated through a servomechanism, offering precise and responsive braking. The SBC system was first introduced on the R230 SL-class, which was released in Europe in October 2001.

  3. Exhaust brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exhaust_brake

    Description. An exhaust brake is a valve which essentially creates a back-pressure in the exhaust system, which applies enough force onto the engine's pistons to slow the engine. In most cases, an exhaust brake is so effective that it can slow a heavily-loaded vehicle on a downgrade without ever applying the vehicle’s service brakes.

  4. Automated emergency braking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_emergency...

    Autonomous: the system acts independently of the driver to avoid or mitigate the accident. Emergency: the system will intervene only in a critical situation. Braking: the system tries to avoid the accident by applying the brakes. Time-to-collision could be a way to choose which avoidance method (braking or steering) is most appropriate.

  7. Retarder (mechanical engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retarder_(mechanical...

    Exhaust brakes are simpler in operation than an engine brake.Essentially, the exhaust pipe of the vehicle is restricted by a valve.This raises the pressure in the exhaust system, forcing the engine to work harder on the exhaust stroke of its cylinders, so again the engine is acting as an air compressor, with the power required to compress the air being withheld from the exhaust pipe, retarding ...

    Code 1: A time critical event with response requiring lights and siren. This usually is a known and going fire or a rescue incident. Code 2: Unused within the Country Fire Authority. Code 3: Non-urgent event, such as a previously extinguished fire or community service cases (such as animal rescue or changing of smoke alarm batteries for the ...

  9. Air brake (road vehicle) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_brake_(road_vehicle)

    Air brake (road vehicle) An air brake or, more formally, a compressed-air-brake system, is a type of friction brake for vehicles in which compressed air pressing on a piston is used to both release the parking/emergency brakes in order to move the vehicle, and also to apply pressure to the brake pads or brake shoes to slow and stop the vehicle.
