Wheels and
Suspension
Skyweb Express and Ultra systems use tires and wheels
to provide primary horizontal support.
This type of tire/wheel design is common on amusement
park rides but requires attention to detail and durability.
And the life of the tire maybe only 37000 mile.

Brake System
Brake-By-Wire
Brake-by-wire exists on heavy duty commercial vehicles
under the nameElectronic Braking System(EBS). Some
x-by-wire technologies have been already installed on
commercial vehicles such as steer-by-wire, and throttleby-wire. So far, Mercedes-Benz (Sensotronic ) and
Toyota (Electronically Controlled Brake ) already use
almost fully brake-by-wire systems, on the MercedesBenz E-class and SL models and on Toyota's Estima.

Brake System
Electro-Hydraulic-Brake
This system is a system which senses the driver's will of
braking through the pedal simulator and controls the
braking ressures to each wheels. The system is also a
hydraulic Brake by Wire system. Many of the vehicle
sub-systems in todays modern vehicles are being
converted intoby-wire type systems. Electro-Hydraulic
Brake is not a true by-wire system with the thought
process that the physical wires do not extend all the
way to the wheel brakes. EHB may be classified a
stepping stone technology to full Electro-Mechanical
Brakes.

1 Government agencies should specify performance and operational
requirements that could be met by a variety of technologies in a
competitive manner.
2 Government agencies should cooperate and develop consistent
requirements that promote the development of a common set of
technologies and encourage economies of scale, reduced cost
structures, flexible and scaleable systems, and interoperability of
equipment.
3 Government agencies should not set standards that specify
technical designs or limit the use of technology to serve a specific
functional or operational requirement.
4 Private developers should work together to establish technical
standards that enhance the development and effectiveness of PRT
