Abstract

This research is focused on the test of the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) at several Ministry of Transport (MOT) facilities to see if there are differences between data obtained. The parking brake force have been measured on three different brands of roller bed testers from MOT facilities such as: Maha, Ryme and Vteq. Knowing that the rejection threshold is the same for all testers, the Efficiency of parking systems is also obtained to compare results between al testers used. Finally, it can be said that the parking brake measurement vary depending on the MOT brake tester characteristics used for the test. Additionally, a probability of passing the test of the EPB at each tester is calculated.
