About BrakeNet |
BrakeNet has been created to co-ordinate academic and industrial engineering in order to advance braking technology and it's effects within automotive braking systems. Funded by a three year grant from the UK's Engineering and Physical Science Research Council (EPSRC), the network was established in 1998 with the following objectives:
| - |
To establish a core group of Members and, in some cases, sub-groups with particular interests |
| - |
To set up a website and other means of information exchange between Members |
| - |
To arrange a programme of workshops, seminars and laboratory visits |
| - |
To strengthen existing links arising from current research projects and to encourage new links leading to collaborative research project proposals |
| - |
To publicise the importance of the braking industry to a wider audience by means of journal articles, seminar proceedings, workshops etc. |
