| 11. | Antilock-braking systems prevent skids by automatically easing the brake pressure on the wheels before they lock up.
|
| 12. | The event recorders register a number of functions on the train, including speed, brake pressure and signals.
|
| 13. | Here, applied brake pressure at the front is also applied to the rear wheel and vice versa.
|
| 14. | The investigation also found that, upon landing, brake pressure increased in a manner consistent with autobrake application.
|
| 15. | When brake pressure is applied, the pistons are forced out pushing the shoes into contact with the drum.
|
| 16. | A main brake pressure reservoir of 125 litres and a service pressure reservoir of 75 litres are provided.
|
| 17. | The roll system applies bursts of brake pressure to certain wheels to counteract forces pushing the vehicle over.
|
| 18. | If you just can't resist the temptation to brake, make sure it is the lightest brake pressure possible.
|
| 19. | This essentially allows engineers to exert braking pressure from the back of the train as well as the front.
|
| 20. | ABS " helps prevent loss of control situations by automatically controlling the amount of braking pressure applied to a wheel.
