Fields
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Allowed values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
maxTorqueFront | number | no | Brake torque in N·m at ONE front wheel at full brake input, zero or more. Divided no further: this is per wheel, not per axle. | ||
maxTorqueRear | number | no | Brake torque in N·m at ONE rear wheel at full brake input, zero or more. | ||
handbrakeTorque | number | no | Brake torque in N·m at each wheel whose handbrake is true, zero or more. It is independent of maxTorqueFront/Rear and of bias, so a handbrake turn is tunable without touching the footbrake. | ||
bias | number | no | Fraction of braking effort sent to the FRONT axle, 0..1; the rear gets the remainder. 0.6 is a normal front-biased road car. Applied on top of each wheel's own braked fraction, so the two multiply. | ||
responseTime | number | no | Seconds for the brakes to build to what the pedal asks, and to let off, zero or more: a first-order lag, so 63% of a sudden full brake arrives after this long. 0 (the default) is instant, as hydraulic brakes nearly are; the air brakes on a heavy vehicle are about 0.3 to 0.5. Read by the simulation model only. |
