Efficiency of a Braking Process Evaluating the Roughness of Road Surface

The braking efficiency of a vehicle is one of a number of factors affecting traffic safety. In this paper, the authors describe how vehicle efficiency is dependent on driver reaction, the braking system, tire quality, and road surface characteristics. Focus in on the relationship between braking distance and road surface roughness when a vehicle is equipped with a hydraulic antilock braking system (ABS).
