Driving without brakes (DWB) always makes me think of some run away roller coaster ride. You know, children screaming for their lives and all that good stuff. However, it is actually a very useful technique that can save you a lot of fuel in heavier highway traffic and in the city. Th...
40)"Drive without brakes" (DWB) Minimize use of the brake pedal. Each time you press it, you're effectively converting gasoline into brake dust and heat. Driving as if you have no brakes will cause you to do two things: 1) reduces 'excessive' acceleration, and, 2) extends the amount...

Forget about rear-end collisions; a car slamming on the brakes would broadcast its intention to stop and trigger a response in the vehicle behind it before the human occupants even realized what was happening. On the highway, vehicles could synchronize their cruise control systems, creating “flo...
However, the elimination of wheel individual rear axle brakes makes wheel individual brake interventions of electronic stability control impossible jeopardising state-of-art vehicle safety. This paper investigates how driving safety can be enhanced for such vehicles by specifically designed torque ...
It is seen that while the position of the smartphone can be detected with good accuracy without the use of more than one device or external hardware, the detectability of the algorithm is reduced when the smartphone is not in a static position. In Bo et al. (2013) driver detection is ...
Driving while stupid. By: Dave Barry In this short story, Dave Berry talks about his experiences with bad drivers. He starts his argument with stating that he should tell you what he saw on the interstate one night and that this is not just any old interstate that he wants to tell his...
Brakes often become wet after driving through deep water or driving in heavy rain. They may pull to one side or the other, or they may not hold at all. If this happens, slow down and gently push on the brake pedal until your brakes are working again. ...
The presented approach exhibited potential in achieving ABS control for future electric vehicles, which is functionally analogous to the engine brakes of the gasoline-powered vehicles but with better flexibility in braking torque distribution for long downhill riding. Experiments were conducted to ...
Brake checking: Sometimes a form of retaliation, brake checking is when a lead driver unnecessarily slams on the brakes to surprise the driver behind them. Even though people think that brake checking a tailgater will stop them from driving so close, the lead driver risks being liable if an ...
