| Description |
Recent developments and research into all aspects of road vehicle braking,
including driver behaviour, actuation systems, foundation brakes, materials, noise
and vibration and tyre effects. Particular emphasis will be placed on electronic
control, electrical actuation, integrated chassis control, intelligent vehicle systems,
weight reduction and energy efficiency.
