Long Description: Figure 11. Position vs. Time (left) and Path Deviation vs. Time (right) of Control Single Vehicle as it Stops with Brake Failure on the Right Ends of the Two Drive Axles

Figure 11 contains 2 graphs. The left most graph, Position vs time, shows how its position (“station”) begins at zero when brakes are applied at time zero and comes to a stop after traveling 297 ft. The graph on the right, Path Deviation vs Time, shows the positions of the axles as a function of time. The vehicle pulls to the left (positive direction) when the brakes are applied, but the driver can steer it back to the lane center as it slows. The peak deviation of an axle center from the intended path was 8 inches.
