A Design Study in Nickel-Aluminum Bronze                                        

Pedal System -- Function

The pedal system is comprised of two subsystems:

  • the BRAKE SUBSYSTEM with the brake pedal and the upper brake component

  • the ACCELERATOR SUBSYSTEM with a lower accelerator component and an upper accelerator component

The pedal system provides the driver with safety-critical control of the vehicle brakes and engine acceleration.

The system must function reliably for the full life of the vehicle across a broad range of stress loads, temperatures, and corrosion conditions.
