Reduced Stopping Distance (RSD) Ruling

Reduced Stopping Distance (RSD) Ruling

• What the entire RSD ruling means or does not mean
  for fleets as a whole. The second phase goes
  into effect August 1, 2013.
• Why the change?
• FMSCA estimates on lives saved
• Property damage mitigated
• What are the new rules?
• Vehicles impacted by Phase I and Phase II
• How have the brakes changed
• How the RSD Mandate has impacted the safety and
  braking ability of heavy tractors
• Shorter Stopping Distances

Reduced Stopping Distance (RSD) Ruling

• This is just another amendment to FMVSS 571.121
  thats intended to improve the braking of our
  over the road vehicles
• Added Brakes on all axles
• Added ABAs
• Added ABS
• Now Added RSD (Steer Axle Brakes)
• Now thats its on our equipment we have to
  accept it and know how to maintenance it (ABS)
• Personally I think this is the real issue, you
  dont really get a choice. Once its there its
  there.
• 121 tells the vehicle manufactures how to build
  them. FMCSR tells you the fleet your operational
  and maintenance guidelines

Reduced Stopping Distance (RSD) Ruling

• Phase 1 Phase 2 Phase 10
• Were going to continue to see amendments to 121
  regarding our braking systems and Stopping
  Distance. It will come in stages as we can
  already see.
• I think its going to culminate in Air Disc and
  Roll Stability someday..
• Air Disc Power Units
• Enhanced S-Cam on Trailers
• As we improve products and systems, as we create
  new systems and components well see mandated
  changes
• In the meantime we have to understand our
  obligations on maintaining what we have thats
  been impacted by any 121 and or FMCSR regulation

5
Reduced Stopping Distance (RSD) Ruling

• Phase 1 changes (we have some issues)
• Some FMSI changes
• 4719 1443
• 4720 4702
• AL factor
• Chamber and ABA arm length
• Friction material compound
• More aggressive
• Higher COF
• Key factor we already had these FMSIs and
  various materials to fit them

6
Reduced Stopping Distance (RSD) Ruling

• Now that we have Phase 1 brakes on vehicles that
  need service what do we do?
• Need Want Should Do I Have To
• These are the most frequently asked questions
• Because the FMSIs already existed there are many
  friction MFGs and compounds out there.
• 121 vs. FMCSR
• 121 - Manufacture Mandate
• FMCSR Operational Regulations

7
Reduced Stopping Distance (RSD) Ruling

• 121 and how FMCSR relate
• 121 Brake on all axles - 393.42 Brakes required
  on all wheels.
• 121 Automatic Brake Adjusters - 393.53
  Automatic brake adjusters
• 121 ABS - 393.55 Antilock brake systems.
• 121 August 1st 2011 Phase 1 RSD
• FMCSR no mention, no amendments why?
• RSD isn't component specific
• This is why we have so many questions

Reduced Stopping Distance (RSD) Ruling

• Need Want Should Do I Have To
• Do I Have To ?
• Its not mentioned in the FMCSR
• Should I?
• Theres lots of things you should do when you
  maintenance brakes
• New Brake Drums
• Cam and Bushing
• Proactive replacement of all wearable's
• ABAs ABS Chambers Cam
• What do I recommend?
• Do whats best for you
• If RSD material meets your expectations than by
  all means

9
Reduced Stopping Distance (RSD) Ruling

• Phase 2 Heavy and Single Drive
• Mainly Enhanced S-Cam (Steer)
• 16 ½ X 6 13k 14k axles
• It didn't necessitate as much Air Disc as first
  thought
• I understand Peterbilt flat converted to all Air
  Disc even though they didnt have to
• All the same maintenance rules apply (FMCSR)
