BrakeSafe is easy to use and can be located anywhere in the vehicle. It is self levelling and will automatically align itself with the direction of travel. For basic operation, no connections need to be made to the vehicle. Optionally, the instrument can be use to measure and record the force applied to the brake pedal, in this case a transducer is attached to the pedal. This also allows the delay time of the braking system to be determined.
BrakeSafe can also be used to measure and record the acceleration profile of the vehicle and produce a graph of how it accelerates, and the time taken to reach a given speed.
There is also an HGV trailer testing mode that may be used to determine HGV trailer brake efficiency.
