TYPES OF PARKING BRAKES:

There are four types of emergency brakes:

Stick lever: Generally, found under the instrument panel (found in older-model
vehicles).
Centre lever: Located in between separated front seats.
Pedal: Located to the left of the floor pedals.
Electric or push button: Located on console with other controls.
SELF ENERGIZING & SELF LOCKING BRAKES:
Self-Locking: At certain critical value of fc, the term (b-fc) becomes zero, i.e., no actuation
force is needed to be apply braking. This is the condition for self-locking. Self-locking will not
occur unless it is specifically desired.
