ABSTRACT

For a vehicle, the brake pedal is a crucial component, allowing control over the vehicle's braking system by pressing the brake pedal, thereby achieving deceleration or bringing the vehicle to a stop. If the brake pedal has poor ergonomics, preventing it from being pressed to its extreme position, it can lead to reduced braking efficiency, increased braking distance, uneven braking, driver fatigue, and other issues. This directly affects the vehicle's road safety, increases the risk of accidents, and poses a threat to the safety of both the driver and passengers. The paper systematically analyzes the main parameters contributing to this issue, proposes rectification suggestions, addresses the problem of inadequate pedal ergonomics, and provides ideas and references for solving such problems.
