The objectives of the study were to determine the range of braking performance currently exhibited by buses, trucks, and tractor-trailers and to establish the maximum braking performance capabilities of these vehicles based upon full utilization of the technology related to brake system design. Both vehicle testing and analytical techniques, including dynamic modeling and simulation, were used to accomplish these objectives. Performance measures were defined which serve to quantify the degree to which a given vehicle-braking system possesses those qualities necessary for adequate braking performance. Using these measures, a braking performance standard is recommended based upon a comparative analysis of current braking performance, the maximum performance achievable by full exploitation of existing technology, and performance as constrained by a host of associated factors.
