CLASSIFICATION OF BRAKE SYSTEM

According to the performance of the braking system, it is divided into service braking system, parking braking system, emergency braking system, auxiliary braking system and so on.

The system that slows down or completely stops a moving vehicle is named service braking system; the system that keeps a vehicle motionless when it is stopped is named parking braking system; the system that must be achieved to slow down or completely stop a moving vehicle in the event of failure of the service brake is named secondary/emergency braking system; the system that assists the service braking system to slow down or keep the speed steadily without emergency stop is named auxiliary braking system.

In the above braking systems, each vehicle is required to the service braking system and the parking braking system.
