“…Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 135 (U.S. National Highway, 2005) specified that, for standard passenger vehicles with weight of 3500 kg and below, the vehicle should be able to stay stationary on 20% grade road for 5 minutes in both forward and reverse directions, with 400 N or less force applied at the hand control of the parking brake mechanism. To date, a lot of literatures have discussed the braking performance of the service brakes (Limpert, 1999, Xiaoyan et al, 2012Tirovic et al, 2011;Hwang et al, 2009;Koylu and Cinar, 2012;Zhang et al, 2012;Belhocine and Bouchetara, 2012;Tao and Chang, 2003;Aleksendric and Barton, 2009;Bao et al, 2012;Mutlu et al, 2005), but only a handful have been done on the parking brakes. For in-stance (McKinlay et al, 2003;McKinlay et al, 2006); investigated conventional parking brake performance in term of vehicle roll away for the disc brakes through laboratory tests and theoretical approaches.…”
