CERTIFIED STANDARDS COMPLIANCE

Dynamic Decelerometer Testing

Dynamic decelerometer testing evaluates a vehicle's actual braking force and stopping power under real driving conditions. Rather than dry static assumptions, dynamic testing measures real kinetic values, providing SABS 0120 certified reports for fleet safety and roadworthiness compliance.

Deceleration Physics

Parameters We Capture

A dynamic dynamic test provides multiple data dimensions that isolate exact mechanical stopping thresholds.

Peak Deceleration (G-Force)

Measures the maximum braking force exerted over the duration of the stop, defining the structural limit of pads, drums, and tires traction.

Mean Fully Developed Deceleration

Calculates the average sustained stopping rate once braking pressure is completely built up, mapping actual legal SABS safety compliance values.

Dynamic Stopping Distance

Logs exact stopping metrics based on initial release speeds, highlighting lag delays, valve restrictions, or mechanical shoe slip.

National Standards Framework

SABS 0120 & NRCS Compliant Reporting

Under South African National Road Traffic acts, commercial fleets, heavy transport combinations, and Trackless Mobile Machinery (TMM) must maintain a minimum service brake efficiency threshold. Standard logistics vehicles legally require a minimum of 50% braking efficiency. Our mobile decelerometer equipment is fully calibrated to national compliance standards, providing immediate legal evidence certificates for operations.
