Brake deceleration of cars with light luggage trailers
Abstract
This paper presents some aspects of employing measurements of deceleration for the technical analysis of the brake process of cars with light luggage trailers. The analysis of the deceleration enables to assess the technical state regarding traffic safety and it can also be used for analysing the course of traffic accidents. The measurements of deceleration enables to determine the influence of load on the brake process for different kinds of cars. This method can be employed as the only way of examining during the periodical inspections and services for some kinds of trailers.
