These shall automatically apply in case of air system failure. A mechanical means of releasing the spring brake shall be provided in the event of total loss of air pressure.

6.4 A quick build up system shall be provided, capable of building enough air pressure to release the spring brake in less than sixty (60) seconds, when starting with the entire air system at zero pounds pressure.

6.5 The brake system shall be a split system. The two (2) systems shall be connected with a double check valve that shall automatically shuttle air from the front system to the rear system should loss of air pressure occur. This system shall also modulate the amount of air so the spring brakes shall apply in direct relationship to the amount of pressure applied to the treadle valve. The brake system shall be equipped with a valve to provide modulated spring brakes in the event there is low air pressure in the rear axle air supply reservoir. All components (service brake, retarder, exhaust brake) and features (ABS, Hill hold and traction control) of the braking system shall be supervised and controlled through a fully integrated electronic control system.

Wheel sensors, constantly monitoring wheel speed, send information to the ECU. If a wheel begins to lock the ECU transmits an electrical impulse to modulator valves that can apply, release or hold the air pressure in the brake chambers. The rapid modulation of air pressure prevents wheel lock-up and increases driver control. If a fault occurs in one wheel, that wheel shall have normal (non-ABS) brake function. The other wheels shall continue to provide the ABS function. If the ABS system should fail completely, the brake control shall be returned to normal (non-ABS) braking. An ABS warning light shall be installed on the driver's dash message center. This warning light shall cycle through a test stage at the point of ignition turn on and remain illuminated until the vehicle reaches approximately four (4) mph (6.5kph).

6.8.3 Traction control system: An electronic traction control system shall be applied using ABS sensors. On slippery surfaces sensors detect differentials in wheel spin on the propulsion axles and selectively apply the brake on an individual wheel (the one spinning) to direct propulsion torque to the wheel with the higher traction and subsequently less revolutions.

6.8.4 Service brake performance: The service brake shall meet or exceed requirements of NFPA 1901 and STVZO and be capable top stop the vehicle at a speed of 30mph/32kph in less than 10m and at a speed of 40mph/64kph in less than 37meters.

They will be driven separately via gears off a driveshaft. The vanes are enclosed in a static chamber with small clearances to the chamber's walls (which will also be vaned). When retardation is required, fluid (oil or water) is pumped into the chamber, and the viscous drag induced will slow the vehicle. The working fluid will heat, and is circulated through a cooling system.
