Topic 5. Vehicle safety and its types.
The purpose: List the main elements of active car safety. To characterize the braking qualities of the car. Build a brake diagram of a car. Determine the meaning of the concepts of controllability and stability of the car. Draw diagrams of car movement on turns. Analyze possible options for losing control and stability of the car. Calculate the critical indicators that characterize the active safety of the car, namely: time and distance to a complete stop of the car, critical speeds at which skidding and overturning can occur; assess the possibility of losing stability of the car at a given speed.
