2.Symbols used in this Annex are explained in the following table:
2.1.Symbols
P
=
part of the vehicle mass borne by the axle under static conditions
F
=
normal reaction of road surface on the axle under static conditions = P · g
FR
=
total normal static reaction of road surface on all wheels of towed vehicle
Fe
=
test axle load
Pe
=
Fe/g
g
=
acceleration due to gravity: g = 9,81 m/s2
C
=
brake input torque
CO
=
brake input threshold torque
C0,dec
=
declared brake input threshold torque
Cmax
=
maximum brake input torque
R
=
dynamic tyre rolling radius as specified by the tyre manufacturer. As an alternative, if such information is not available, the value calculated by the formula: ‘ETRTO overall diameter /2’ may be used;
T
=
brake force at tyre/road interface
TR
=
total brake force at tyre/road interface of the towed vehicle
M
=
brake torque = T · R
z
=
braking rate = T/F or M/(R · F)
s
=
actuator stroke (working stroke plus free stroke)
ThA
=
average thrust (the average thrust is determined by integrating the values between 1/3 and 2/3 of the total stroke smax)
l
=
lever length
r
=
internal radius of brake drums or effective radius of brake discs
p
=
brake actuation pressure
Note: Symbols with the suffix ‘e’ relate to the parameters associated with the reference brake test and may be added to other symbols as appropriate.
