Commercial Vehicle Braking Systems e-Seminar

Price $ 1135

 

Increased public pressure to improve truck safety and new government braking regulations for commercial vehicles have intensified the

need to better understand the factors influencing heavy vehicle braking performance. In this e-Seminar, Instructor Leonard Buckman

focuses on understanding medium-duty hydraulic brake systems and heavy-duty air brake systems and how both systems' performance

can be predicted, maintained and optimized. He explains the function and application of the major brake system components and helps

you to discover how brakes, tires and roadways interact as a system. Federal braking regulations for both hydraulic and air brake vehicles

are also covered.

 

Based on the popular classroom seminar, this more than 18 hour course offers an overview, seventeen modules and course exercises

accompanied by this handbook. The text, Commercial Vehicle Braking Systems: Air Brakes, ABS and Beyond, written by the instructor is
