Abstract

The braking systems in motor vehicles are one of the most important factors of active safety. Malfunction of particular elements that leads to incomplete function or sheer breakdown of the braking system, is the cause of a significant number of traffic accidents. The braking system regulation plays a significant role in the process of efficient braking by using the existing adhesion of the wheels and the substrate, and by maintaining the stability and manageability of the vehicle in the process of braking; all of that while creating the shortest possible braking path. With the intent of contributing to the development of road traffic safety, the authors of this paper will elaborate on the necessity of the braking system regulation that is generated by the wheels of road motor vehicles; braking force regulators and their types; the necessity for their maintenance; and their immense influence on the braking efficiency and therefore traffic safety in general. This, in combination with the knowledge of characteristic braking trails, can contribute to the quality of evidence assessment in traffic accidents, as well as the quality of vehicle inspection procedures. Basically, the purpose behind this paper captures braking forces regulation of 2 axle vehicles as well as heavy goods vehicles, including a combination of vehicles (towing vehicle – coupling vehicles) also. In order to emphasize the seriousness of this problem, this paper also includes one specific example of a traffic accident, with emphasis on the probable cause of the accident.
