	Emergency brake - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An emergency brake is a separate brake system in a vehicle for use in case of failure of the regular (hydraulic or air) brakes and commonly used as a parking brake in automobiles.
		When the use of the automatic brakes was made compulsory in the Regulation of Railways Act 1889, the equipment was modified so that it operated the brakes, but the name communication cord has survived to the present day.
		not in a tunnel, or on an overbridge) and investigate the emergency.

	Safety and Health Information - EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEMS FOR MINE ELEVATORS
		When the mechanical brakes were called to set, the M contactor dropped out and disconnected the armature from the power supply, and also applied the dynamic braking (db) resistor across the motor armature.
		However, a slight fading of the braking effort was observed as a result of the temperature rise in the brake lining during the final 400 milliseconds.
		The applied braking force is sufficient to cause the car to decelerate and be brought to a stop, from either a high speed or low speed condition without any assistance from the machine brake.

		Braking is by means of four discs - two ventilated at the front (283 mm diameter, 26 mm thick) and two non-ventilated at the rear (247 mm diameter, 8 mm thick).
		These have single-piston brake calipers with a diameter of 54 mm at the front and a diameter of 32 mm at the rear.
		Emergency braking assistance guarantees maximum deceleration when required, while retaining an appropriate level of force on the pedal during minor and moderate deceleration.

		During emergency braking, when the driver rapidly presses the brake pedal, this mechanical system amplifies the braking pressure.
		In the event of fast deceleration (sustained braking), the vehicle automatically activates its hazard lights, thus enabling the driver to concentrate on the road.

	Driverless car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anti-lock braking system (ABS) (also Emergency Braking Assistance (EBA), often coupled with Electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD), which prevents the brakes from locking and losing traction while braking.
		Inboard brakes allow large fade resistant discs or drums, without contributing to unsprung weight and wheel bounce, which degrade braking, handling and ride, and increase mechanical loads.
		Death Brake; there is a move to introduce deadman's braking into automotive application, primarily heavy vehicles, there may also be a need to add penalty switches to cruise controls.

		The emergency braking assistance detects emergency conditions from the speed with which the driver hits the brake, boosting the braking power (which is controlled by ABS) to reach maximum pressure almost immediately.
		A special new function optimizes ESP in emergency situations or when extreme understeer occurs (when the front wheels lose their grip and the vehicle heads for the outside of the bend).

	Citroen C3 Pluriel Cabriolet - Citroen Lease DriveEurope
		An emergency braking assistance system is also available on the C3: when the driver stamps hard on the brake pedal (indicating an emergency situation), the main piston sets off a second piston that raises the pressure of the braking system to maximum levels.
		This function considerably reduces the braking distance and makes up for the reluctance of drivers to stamp hard on the pedal at the start of the braking process.
		To further improve braking safety, the hazard warning lights of the C3 come on automatically in the event of sudden deceleration.

	Vehicle electronics evolving to networked driver assistance systems - Aftermarket Business
		First, the brake system prepares for emergency braking by placing the braking pads on the brake discs as a matter of precaution, and setting the hydraulic brake assistant into a state of "alert." In the second stage, the driver receives a warning through a noticeable brake jerk that an emergency situation is imminent.
		In the last stage, when a collision is unavoidable, automatic braking occurs with maximum deceleration to reduce the severity of the accident.
		To eliminate the motion, the vehicle's brakes are precisely applied through active brake pressure control, helping the driver maintain control even in critical situations.
