braking, braking shape, braking deviation, stopping distance, rest position

ABSTRACT:

This paper has the origin on the observation that in the process of braking whit little cars (less than 700kg) a deviation appear from the initial trajectory due to the position in the car of the driver and the passengers.

The study comes to explain the correlation between load of the vehicle and the deviation from the trajectory in function of the speed at the beginning of braking process.
