This energy may be the muscular energy of the driver, or energy from another source controlled by the driver, or a combination of these various kinds of energy. 3.1.4 Transmission device The combination of components comprised between the control and the brake and linking them functionally. The transmission may be mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electric or mixed. Where the braking power is derived from or assisted by a source of energy independent of the driver, the storage of energy (energy accumulator) in the system is likewise part of the transmission. The transmission device is divided into two independent functions: the control transmission and the energy transmission. Whenever the term ‘transmission’ is used alone in this Standard, it means both the ‘control transmission’ and the 'energy transmission'. 3.1.4.1 Control transmission device The combination of the components of the transmission device which control the operation of the brakes, including the control function and the necessary storage(s) of energy. 3.1.4.2 Energy transmission device The combination of the components which supply to the brakes the necessary energy for their function, including the storage(s) of energy necessary for the operation of the brakes. 3.1.5 Brake The part in which the forces opposing the movement of the vehicle develop. It may be a friction brake (when the forces are generated by friction between two parts of the vehicle moving relatively to one another); an electrical brake (when the forces are generated by electro-magnetic action between two parts of the vehicle moving relatively to, but not in contact with one another); a fluid brake (when the forces are generated by the action of a fluid situated between two parts of the vehicle moving relatively to one another); or an engine brake (when the forces are derived from an artificial increase in the braking action, transmitted to the wheels, of the engine). 3.1.6 Different types of braking equipment Equipment which differ in such essential respects as: ——Components having different characteristics; ——A component made of materials having different characteristics, or a component differing in shape or size; ——A different assembly of the components. 3.1.7 Component of the braking equipment One of the individual parts which, when assembled, constitutes the braking equipment. 3.1.8 Progressive and graduated braking / modulatable braking Braking during which, within the normal operating range of the device, and during actuation of the brakes, whose the braking force varies proportionally as the action on the control (monotonic function) and can be easily regulated with sufficient precision; 3.1.9 Unladen condition The mass of a complete vehicle, adding with 110 kg. 3.1.10 Laden condition Except where otherwise stated, a vehicle so laden as to attain its ‘maximum design total mass’. 3.1.11 The distribution of mass among the axles The distribution of the effect of the gravity on the mass of the vehicle and/or its contents among the axles. 3.1.12 Wheel/axle load The vertical static reactive (force) of the road surface in the contact area on the wheel/wheels of the axle. 3.1.13 Maximum stationary wheel/axle load The stationary wheel/axle load achieved under the condition of the laden vehicle. 3.1.14 Hydraulic braking equipment with stored energy A braking equipment where energy is supplied by a hydraulic fluid under pressure, stored in one or more accumulator(s) fed from one or more pressure pump(s), each fitted with a means of limiting the pressure to a maximum value. This value shall be specified by the manufacturer. 3.1.15 Actuation Application and release of the control. 3.1.16 Electric regenerative braking, EBS A braking system which, during deceleration, provides for the conversion of vehicle kinetic energy into electrical energy. 3.1.16.1 Electric regenerative braking control A device which modulates the action of the electric regenerative braking system. 3.1.16.2 Electric regenerative braking of category A An electric regenerative braking system which is not part of the service braking system. 3.1.16.3 Electric regenerative braking of category B An electric regenerative braking system which is part of the service braking system. 3.1.17 Traction battery; power battery An assembly of accumulators (batteries) constituting the storage of energy used for powering the traction motor(s) of the vehicle. 3.1.18 Electric state of charge, SOC The instantaneous ratio of electric quantity of energy stored in the traction battery relative to the maximum quantity of electric energy which could be stored in this battery. 3.1.19 Phased braking A means which may be used where two or more sources of braking are operated from a common control, whereby one source may be given priority by phasing back the other source(s) so as to make increased control movement necessary before they begin to be brought into operation. 3.1.20 Automatically commanded braking A function within a complex electronic control system where actuation of the braking system(s) or brakes of certain axles is made for the purpose of generating vehicle retardation with or without a direct action of the driver, resulting from the automatic evaluation of on-board initiated information. 3.1.21 selective braking A function within a complex electronic control system where actuation of individual brakes is made by automatic means in which vehicle retardation is secondary to vehicle behavior modification. 3.1.22 Nominal value The reference braking performance gained by assigning the values to the input and output transfer functions of the braking system, which can be demonstrated the relation of the braking strength generated by the vehicle self and the braking input variable level. 3.1.23 Wheel locking The duration time is larger than or equal to 100ms where a vehicle runs at a speed of over 15 km/h and the rotational speed of wheels is zero or the slip rate is 100%; such time, for ABS test conducted on pavement with low coefficient of adhesion, is 500 ms. 3.1.24 Yaw angle Included angle formed by the central line and the running reference line when a vehicle stops running. 3.1.25 Antilock braking system, ABS A system, in braking process, that control sliding degrees of wheel(s) at its rotation direction by automatic means. 3.1.26 Sensor A component that is used to identify motion state of vehicle or rotation state of wheel(s), and transfer to this information to the controller. 3.1.27 Controller A component that is used to treat the information provided by the sensor and send the command to the modulator. 3.1.28 Modulator A component that is used to adjust brake pressure (generating brake force) as commanded by the command. 3.1.29 Directly controlled wheel ) Wheels whose brake force is adjusted by at least the data provided by the sensor of itself. 3.1.30 Indirectly controlled wheel 1) Wheels whose brake force is adjusted by at least the data provided by the sensor of other wheel(s). 3.1.31 Full cycling Anti-lock system repeats adjusting brake force to prevent locking directly controlled wheel. The case that only one adjustment is carried out from braking to stopping does not conform to this definition. 3.1.32 Cut-in pressure The working pressure of the system where the energy storage device is connected with the energy source to supply energy. 3.1.33 Cut-out pressure Working pressure of the system where the energy storage device is disconnected with the energy source cut off supply energy. 3.2 Terms and Definitions for Complex Electronic Vehicle Control System 3.2.1 Safety concept The measures designed into the system, for example within the electronic units, so as to address system integrity and thereby ensure safe operation even in the event of an electrical failure. 3.2.2 Electronic control system Unit assembly to realize preset vehicle control functions by electronic data processing and cooperation. This system generally consists of software control, and other independent functional devices including sensor, electronic control unit (ECU) and actuating apparatus. Such system may include mechanical, electronic-pneumatic, and electronic-hydraulic elements. 3.2.3 Complex electronic vehicle control system Electronic control systems which are subject to a hierarchy of control in which a controlled function may be over-ridden by a higher level electronic control system/ function. 3.2.4 Higher-level control Systems/functions are those which employ additional processing and/or sensing provisions to modify vehicle behavior by commanding variations in the normal function(s) of the vehicle control system.
