THE QUALITY OF THE BRAKE COMPONENTS AND ITS IMPACT ON THE BASIC PARAMETERS OF BRAKING
One of the most important characteristics of the vehicle, which characterizes the behaviour of the vehicle while driving, is the ability to reduce vehicle´s speed to stop point. Brake system requirements are set by statute ECE 13 and each EU Member State is obligated to implement them into their legislation. The brake system consists of a set of parts that serve to gradually reduce the speed of the vehicle to stop it and the system must keep it stationary if it has already been stopped. The quality of the brake discs and brake pads is decisive during braking as well as in removing heat from the brake area. This article discusses about the basic parameters compared during braking in changing the quality of brake components which impact road safety and the safety of passengers in vehicles.
