Evaluation of Hunter Heavy Duty Plate Brake Tester

摘要

A set of Hunter brake inspection plates was evaluated to ensure that the resultsproduced were meaningful and had some correlation with vehicle braking performance. The evaluation consisted to comparisons of brake forces measured on the Hunter brake inspection plates to those measured with an in-ground roller brake tester. Comparisons were also made with vehicle stopping distance measurements. These comparisons were made with the brakes fully adjusted and at various levels of misadjustment.
