The apparently simple issue of braking continues to be a major issue for engineers. Drivers are, of course, concerned that in an emergency, their vehicles should stop as quickly as possible. For foundation braking there is a practical limit to braking performance, set by the ability of the tyre contact patches to transmit the forces involved without sliding. However, advances in tyre design, complemented by the ability of electronically controlled braking systems to distribute effort according to wheel load (if, for example, the brakes are applied while the vehicle is cornering), mean that limit is now potentially very high, at least on dry road surfaces.
These developments have thrown the onus very much back to the foundation braking system developers. The main engineering challenges in any braking system are to withstand the extremely high temperatures involved, to remove the very large amount of heat generated during hard deceleration, and to minimise the weight of the braking units.
As alluded to earlier, while advances in friction materials and caliper designs have helped improve braking performance in recent times, the main improvements in braking in recent years have come from electronic control, firstly Anti-Lock Braking Systems (ABS), then Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and now Brake-by-Wire.
