Abstract: In order to test the parking brake performance of in-use vehicle, in this research, we designed a set of automated test system which could calculate the parking brake performance. The automated test system which was composed of four parts: vehicles weighing device, automatic traction gear, force cell, and intelligent control unit would calculate the braking force based on the traction force and the total mass of the vehicle. The results indicate that this test equipment is found to be convenient application, small floor coverage and reliable.
