Why is the Vericom more accurate and more repeatable than other competitive brake testing devices?
The Vericom has unique algorithms referred to as Run Duration Protocol (RDP™). Most other devices require the operator to decide when the run starts or stops. Most accelerometers devices choose zero G or -0.2G as the stop point, which will cause up to a 0.230 second error. This would be a 10% error for a typical braking test. RDP produces an objective calculated drag factor (f). All other devices produce a subjective f because the elapse time of the skid test is estimated by the user.
