Abstract:
A braking system for a vehicle has a first axle with a first road wheel arranged proximate a first vehicle end, and a second axle with a second road wheel arranged proximate a second vehicle end. The braking system includes a first brake assembly configured to apply a braking force to the first road wheel and a second brake assembly configured to apply a braking force to the second road wheel. The braking system additionally includes a controller for regulating the braking force of each of the first and second brake assemblies. Furthermore, the braking system includes a switch for communicating a request to the controller to apply the braking force via the first brake assembly when the vehicle is in motion, but not via the second brake assembly. The request from the switch is intended to stop rotation and generate a slide of the first road wheel.
