Performance and cost-effectiveness of air disc brakes and air drum brakes for truck semi-trailers in different road and speed conditions
This study uses TruckSimTM to model disc brakes and drum brakes on a fully loaded truck semi-trailer to study the performance of each brake type as downgrades and speeds vary.The brake performance is measured based on braking distance.A simplified economic comparison based on life cycle cost analysis to determine which road and vehicle conditions g
