So assuming the same tires, and brakes that can hold the tires at that maximum static force, I don't see why mass would
increase braking distance.
This in turn leads to
increased braking distances and a higher risk of aquaplaning.
Not exact matches
Avoid sudden stops, use a lower gear when travelling downhill,
brake before you enter a corner,
increase your following
distance, and watch your
braking when roads are slippery.
Note that back - to - back runs will likely induce
brake fade (the
distance will
increase with
brake temperatures).
Then the
brake pedal sometimes is pulsing and the
braking distance seems to
increase quite dramatically.
If you do not do this everything will work perfectly fine, until you apply the
brakes then if your
brake rotors / drums were glazed, heavily scored or worn out of parallel to the new
brake pad your will stopping
distance WILL be
INCREASED maybe even up to several feet at highway speed.
The use of Goodyear's Active
Braking Technology in the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 ensures that when
braking the contact surface between the tyre and road
increases - greatly enhancing the
braking performance and delivery short
braking distances on both wet and dry road surfaces.
By carefully combining organic and metallic
brake compounds, Akebono
brakes can provide short stopping
distances without
increased rotor wear
Antilock
brake system software could result in
increased stopping
distance on rough roads Malfunctioning occupant detection system could result in a permanent suppression of the passenger airbag which won't allow it to deploy in an accident
Subaru has determined that certain 2012 Legacy / Outback and Impreza (except WRX and STI) vehicles may be equipped with a
brake master cylinder that could malfunction and cause an
increase in the amount of
brake pedal travel
distance required to slow or stop the vehicle.
However, on loose gravel and snow, anti-lock
brakes can
increase stopping
distance, though the improved vehicle control remains the same.
If you are noticing an
increase in stopping
distance or a soft feeling when you pump the
brakes, don't hesitate for moment; bring your luxury vehicle to the Audi body shop and service center at Audi Hoffman Estates for
brake repair.
Conequence: If the vehicle experiences a
brake fluid leak it can
increase the stopping
distance,
increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Under heavy
braking, the box shifts down two gears to
increase engine
braking and shorten stopping
distances.
The GT3 FL2 car gained new 24 hour racing
brakes to improve long -
distance performance, but also
increased engine cooling together with a reduction in fuel consumption.
Conequence: LOSS OF
BRAKE FLUID CAN LEAD TO A DECREASE IN
BRAKE LINE PRESSURE AND AN
INCREASE IN STOPPING
DISTANCE, WHICH CAN RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
Other standard safety features on the vehicle include traction control to maximize tire grip with the road, electronic vehicle stability and roll mitigation for maintaining the intended driving path even during sudden maneuvers, high - beam daytime running lights to
increase conspicuity, trailer sway damping for greater control of whatever you are pulling behind you, four - wheel disc
brakes for shortening stopping
distance, and an anti-lock
braking system for preventing the wheels from locking up during hard stops.
The result is
increased stability when
braking, which helps reduce stopping
distance.
ABS works with a vehicle's normal service
brakes to decrease stopping
distance and
increase the control and stability of the vehicle during hard
braking.
The vehicles also include
Brake Assist, which notifies the active
brake booster electronically of the need for
increased brake output, helping to provide shorter stopping
distances in emergency situations.
Brake Assist PLUSallows controlled, targeted
braking and, if necessary,
increases the
braking force right up to the point at which an emergency stop is performed, depending on the road speed and the
distance to the vehicle in front.
Other new tech includes stop - start technology; and a redesigned
brake system that shortens stopping
distance and improves pedal feel while
increasing rotor and lining life.
We never ran out of
brakes, mind you, but an increasingly long pedal saw the
distance between the corner and throwing the picks
increase as the morning laps went on.
Conequence: A delay in the application of the
brake pedal would lengthen the
distance needed to stop the vehicle and
increase the risk of a crash.
At that point, the
brake system modulator pump
increases braking pressure while the pedal is still being pressed to ensure maximum stopping force, an action that can help shorten
braking distance.
Its position varies to optimise efficiency,
increase downforce on the rear axle and, in the airbrake position, shorten the
braking distance.
At that point, the VSA modulator pump
increases braking pressure while the pedal is still being pressed to ensure maximum stopping force, an action that can help shorten
braking distance.
Electronically actuated, it is programmed to work at
braking speeds above 155 mph and is claimed to reduce stopping
distances by up 39 feet by allowing the
braking system to allocate more
braking power to the rear axle due to the
increased downforce it generates.
The Hydraulic
Brake Assistance system
increases brake circuit pressure under emergency
braking situations to shorten stopping
distances.
It
increases downforce on the rear axle and even serves as an airbrake to shorten the
braking distance from higher speeds.
The
increased speed gives the driver no time to react to emergencies and
increases the
distance necessary to
brake.
Once temperatures dip below 7º C, all - season tires lose their grip and
braking distances increase.
