Recommendations

1. Avoid using bike calipers as weight of vehicle is quite higher than the two wheelers
2. The vehicle should be designed in a way that the driver should actuate brake pedal using his
right foot
3. The purpose of the front brakes is to Maintain heat developed
4. The purpose of rear foot is to Postpone the braking by few milli seconds
5. The Bundy tubes should not fixed at high tension mainly near front wheels
6. Dynamic weight transfer = static weight+ weight transfer
7. Deceleration= 0.4g
8. Don’t give excess power than required for locking wheels
9. Usage of a pressure reduction valve is advisable
10. Two types of pedal: floor and pedant
11. Dot-3 is preferable
12. Limit the length of Bundy tubes to small to reduce pressure loss
13. Use pedal spring for driver comfort
14. The brake fluid in reservoir should quite higher than the volume of the master cylinder
15. The optimum pedal ratio is 3:1
16. For positive scrub radius F-R split and for negative scrub radius X split is preferable
17. The design should in a way that the mud should not enter the caliper set up
18. The caliper in 12.o clock position (top of the disc) is preferable
19. The opt diameter of bundy tube is 4.76 mm
