High friction track 

Brake systems must be reliable under all circumstances.

To test the performance of brake systems on a high friction surface, TCL uses a concrete brake-testing track. On this track the following tests can be conducted:

  • maximum deceleration
  • road-holding during high deceleration
  • swerving during emergency braking
  • brake force distribution
  • brake fading
  • actual wheel speed/brake pressure
