Vinodh, S and Arun, M (2010) Application of creative design concept to braking system synchronization in two wheeler bikes. Journal of Engineering, Design and Technology, 8(3), pp. 354-368. ISSN 1726-0531
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to report a research in which creative design concepts have been applied for braking system synchronization in two wheeler bikes. Design/methodology/approach: Literature review on creative design concepts and braking system scenario has been carried out. By studying the existing braking system and applying creative design concepts, modified braking system has been developed. Findings: The research experience indicated that the effectiveness of braking system has been improved by the adoption of proposed system. Research limitations/implications: The research has been carried out for an automobile two wheeler. The findings of this research work could be extended to similar models of two wheelers. Practical implications: The usage of the proposed system reduces the number of accidents and it adds significantly to the life of the brakes. Originality/value: A case study has been reported to indicate the application of creative design concepts for enhancing the synchronization of automotive braking system in two wheeler bikes.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
