Abstract

From suspension geometry and the splitting of the dual brake circuits can be so designed as to achieve optimal braking stability both on a straight course and when cornering. This paper sets out to demonstrate that front suspension geometry incorporating outboard scrub radius together with diagonally split dual brake circuits - expecially with wheels on surface with different skid number - can considerably improve directional stability under braking.
