Brakes and braking system as an active vehicle safety factor belongs to a group of technical systems that is particularly important for road traffic safety. Brakes, according to the constructional features, allow the vehicle to decelerate or completely stop, as well as vehicle static stileness, regardless of road and traffic conditions. The importance of braking and braking system is most accentuated when analyzing the stopping distance and braking distance of the vehicle. The stopping time or the braking distance of vehicles in relation to the prevailing atmospheric and traffic conditions on the road is an important element in preventing traffic accidents. In order to ensure the shortest stopping distances, it is necessary that the vehicle are equipped with an effective system for braking purposes. Braking system innovations as well as auxiliary braking systems like ABS (Anti-lock Braking System), BAS (Brake Assistant), ASR (Anti Slip Regulation), ESP (Electronical Stability Program) and IBS (Integrated Braking System) as one of the future systems enables greater control over the vehicle in risky situations and the safety of road traffic in general.
