We do three panic stops each from 60 and 80 mph. Reported stopping distances are the average of these three runs. To measure the distance we use our GPS-based RaceLogic 100Hz VBOXIII. The end of our brake run is clear: It's where the vehicle stops. However, the beginning of the braking is difficult to assign. We use a deceleration threshold of -0.30g (as opposed to simply when the pedal is hit). As this is rarely at exactly 60 or 80 mph we interpolate/extrapolate to yield the distances reported. ABS makes this a simple test to perform: Just mash the pedal. However, we occasionally test cars without ABS, and typically such braking distances are considerably longer.
A method of stopping or reducing the time required to stop an ac or dc motor, which can be accomplished in several ways including: dynamic braking, regenerative braking, and friction braking.
Using the power of the kite to slow down or stop when buggying.
