Hydraulic Brake System Design and Safety Analysis:

This two-day seminar is addressed at the brake system design engineer as well as safety expert involved in braking safety issues. Interested persons should indicate so in the : "I Am Interested" Section. The computer program "PC-Brake Hydraulic" will be used extensively.   The cost is $649.00

Air Brake System Design and Safety Analysis:

This two-day seminar is primarily addressed at the accident reconstructionist who must analyze the braking performance of air brake equipped vehicles, how maintenance issues are involved in accident causation. Individual axle brake lockup and vehicle deceleration as well as friction utilization curves will be studied.  The computer program "PC-Brake Air" will be used. Interested persons should so indicate in the " I Am Interested" section. The cost is $649.00.
