概要

Comparative analysis of various brake testers used at Department of Transportation facilities (e.g., roller tester banks and dynamometric platform testers)

Senabre C

The aim of this research is to compare which parameters may vary when braking on different Ministry of Transport (MOT) brake testers, such as roller bed brake tester and dynamometric platform. Different types of brake testers have been used and analyzed by the mechanical engineering staffs at the mechanical laboratory at the Miguel Hernández University. It has been analyzed which parameters can vary the result of the brake test, and advances and disadvantages of each brake tester.
