According to the function, what are the three types of braking systems?

According to the different functions of Pacific Auto Network, the braking system can be divided into three types: driving braking, parking braking and auxiliary braking. Brake system is a series of special devices used to make the outside world (mainly the road surface) exert a certain force on some parts of the car (mainly the wheels), so as to brake it to a certain extent.

The braking system can be divided into service braking system, parking braking system, emergency braking system and auxiliary braking system. The braking system used to slow down or even stop a moving car is called a service braking system. The braking system used to stop the car is called parking braking system. In the case of failure of the service braking system, the braking system that ensures that the car can still slow down or stop is called emergency braking system; During driving, the auxiliary braking system reduces the vehicle speed or keeps the vehicle speed stable, but the braking system of vehicle emergency braking cannot be called the auxiliary braking system. Among the above braking systems, the service braking system and the parking braking system are necessary for every vehicle.

The function of that brake system are: according to the requirement of the driver, the moving car is slowed down or even stop; Make parking stable under various road conditions (including on ramps); Keep the speed of the car downhill stable. Only the external force acting on the car in the opposite direction to the direction of the car can make the car brake, and the magnitude of these external forces is random and uncontrollable, so a series of special devices must be installed on the car to realize the above functions.
