ANALYSIS OF INFLUENCE OF PRESSURE OF WHEEL, WEHIGT, AND TIRE TREAD ON BRAKE DATA OF VEHICLES ON MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT TESTER AND ON FLAT GROUND

摘要

This study gives a comparison between what occurs when braking on Ministry of Transport (MOT) brake tester and the flat ground. Tyre pressure is changed, but the other parameters remain constant. The results from this research and the exhaustive comparative study carried out by the mechanical engineering staffs at the mechanical laboratory at the Miguel Hernandez University in Elche [2] have led to the following main conclusions: By varying the tyre pressure, weight, and tire tread, results can vary on the MOT brake tester. This article demonstrates that the MOT brake testing equipment can vary depending some parameters.
