Method of braking an electrically driven vehicle
Leif Vikman,Goeran Valfridsson +1 more
TLDR
In this article, the rotational speed of an industrial truck is reduced according to a predetermined deceleration characteristic (a-d) when braking is activated, depending on the length of depression of the brake pedal.Abstract:
Method of braking a vehicle driven by an electric motor, in particular industrial truck, where the rotational speed of the motor is reduced according to a predetermined deceleration characteristic (a-d) when braking is activated. Preferably the deceleration characteristic is chosen in dependency of the length of depression of a brake pedal.read more

Redundant braking system
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a redundant braking system for a vehicle, where a controller may monitor the status of a hydraulic braking system, and during vehicle travel, automatically switch to a modulated electric braking system which is separate from the hydraulic braking systems when the hydraulic brake system fails.
Patent
Vehicle suspension systems
TL;DR: A vehicle suspension system includes an airbag arranged to act substantially horizontally so as to apply a substantially horizontal force to a horizontally movable force-transmitting member and a parallelogram linkage (16, 17, 18, 19 ) that acts between the airbag and a part of the vehicle chassis as discussed by the authors.

Braking system for a floor conveyor
TL;DR: In this paper, a braking system for a floor conveyor is presented, where the steering control actuates a first switch at an error signal, which cuts off the electric connection between the battery and the emergency stop brake, and an additional switch is connected in series with the first switch and is actuable by a PWM actuator of the vehicle control.
