Context
The world is facing some real challenges in reducing energy consumption and harmful emissions for creating environmentally friendly transportation. In addition, further requirements are related to reliability improvements, operating cost reduction and capacity increase. These are huge challenges, never experienced before at such a scale, leading to the evolution of the braking system technology to successfully cope all these issues. To attain this objective, scientific locking have to be cleared in the understanding of real physical mechanisms involved in braking.
This two-day Conference will address latest understanding and developments in various processes and procedures related to brakes, braking and vehicle deceleration in general, forward-looking into the solutions for the challenges the world is facing.
Aiming at the development of environmentally friendly rail, road and aerospace vehicles, the conference is intended for specialists, practicing engineers and researchers in transportation interested in current braking challenges combining improved safety and reliability while reducing operating costs and harmful emissions. The insights on show will be helpful to rail, road and aerospace braking systems.
