A Combined Pedal for Brake and Accelerator
The present paper deals with design, construction and working of Accelerator and Brake operated by one pedal, which may be a technique for reducing road accidents. The main objective of this innovation is to eliminate the operator’s risk of pressing the wrong pedal at the time of emergency as well as reduction in the driver’s reaction time to switch from accelerator to brakes or vice versa. Thi...
متن کاملA Combined Brake-accelerator Pedal and Its Evaluation
Over the years designers have developed various combined brake-accelerator pedals in an effort to eliminate the operator’s risk of pressing the wrong pedal as well as to reduce his or her reaction time in braking. The goal of this study was to highlight problems that drivers may face when they switch between pedal systems. Eighteen male and female drivers varying in age participated in the stud...
متن کاملAccelerator or Brake? Cash for Clunkers, Household Liquidity, and Aggregate Demand∗
We estimate the importance of household liquidity for the effect of the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS) on vehicle transactions. We measure the average program impact by comparing households with “clunkers” eligible for CARS to households with similar vehicles that are ineligible. The liquidity provided by CARS contributed to its larger than anticipated take-up. Clunkers with existing loans,...
متن کاملBrake Fluid Quality and Brake Performance
The condition of brake fluid is important to automotive safety, reliability and brake system longevity. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time. Increasing moisture levels in the brake fluid lower the boiling point, increase viscosity and cause corrosion of system components. Brake fluid with high moisture content can boil when extreme braking is required or a pad sticks. The effect of boiling i...
متن کاملA brake becomes an accelerator: PTP1B--a new therapeutic target for breast cancer.
The protein tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B, previously recognized for its role in downregulating insulin and leptin signaling, has now been shown to function as a positive regulator of signaling events associated with breast tumorigenesis. Inhibitors of PTP1B that have been developed as drug candidates for treatment of diabetes and obesity may offer new avenues for the treatment of breast cancer.
