The report gives an examination of the effectiveness of the use of brake bonding on the Advanced Design Bus (ADB). The Detroit Department of Transportation, the Southern California Rapid Transit District and other transit agencies have recently used adhesive bonds instead of bolted linings to reline brake shoes. Using data from these transit authorities, the study considers factors of safety and cost-effectiveness on bonded brake shoes on S-cam and wedge-type brake systems. The report points out that if brake reline are included as one part of a regularly scheduled brake overhaul program, the use of bonded brake linings can extend the interval between brake overhauls and that this is especially true for buses equipped with wedge-type foundations brakes.
