The Impact of Weight
during Corner Braking The Impact of Weight
on Emergency Braking
Today’s professional driver relies on the mobile office
to safely handle the unexpected! This exercise will highlight the differences in braking
distance and system efficiency from unladen to laden.
Included will be a direct comparison to aftermarket
components so the attendee can experience for
themselves the real-world improvements that can be
made in stopping power that is vital during those all-
important emergency situations.
This scenario will test both man and machine with a series
of real world, back to back collision avoidance examples
highlighting how a tailored set up that is fit for purpose
can help keep your fleet safe and your costs down.
SFD ACTIVITY 2
SFD ACTIVITY 4
The Impact of Weight on
Dynamic Lane Changes
Originally called the “Moose” test. This procedure
consists of driving vehicle through a set track which
simulates an on-road lane change manoeuvre. The
vehicle is driven at a set speed from the initial lane to
another parallel lane and back again.
The test is used during the certification processes
for motor vehicles and provides an excellent basis for
assessment of a vehicle’s performance in emergency
situation. All participants will have the ability to
experience this test for themselves in both laden, un-
laden and modified laden vehicles. To show the effect of
weight on a vehicle’s overall stopping distance.

Advanced Driver
Assist Systems
Automotive safety technology is pretty easy to wrap
your head around, but advanced driver assistance
systems (ADAS) are a little harder to pin down. We’re Putting You In The Drivers Seat
The issue is that advanced driver assistance systems
are systems and features that provide a driver with
essential information, automate difficult or repetitive
tasks, with the goal of engendering an overall
increase in car safety for everyone on the road. Since
these systems are so varied, it isn’t always easy to
see how some of them actually relate to safety. ABS Split Surface Demonstration
Many advanced driver assistance systems are
right on the bleeding edge of emerging automotive
technologies, and the jury is actually still out on
some of them.
ADAS systems that are currently being delivered to
the market in Australia include:
Slalom / Stability
The slalom test involves attempting to maintain a
constant speed whilst control a vehicle around a
series of traffic cones in a controlled environment.
This test provides the participant a graphic and
physical account of the impact of weight on a
vehicle and its handling dynamics. A vehicle laden to
capacity is a much bigger beast to handle! This will
provide attendees with a real world look into the day
to day lives of those within our organisations on the
road every day in laden, or partially laden vehicle.

The split surface provides the most dramatic
demonstration of stability as the vehicle is subjected
to ABS operation on our split surface which
simulates ice.
AEB - Autonomous Emergency Braking System
Demonstration.
Autonomous emergency braking systems are
designed to detect an imminent crash and prevent
a crash or at the least mitigate the damage in an
event of a crash.
The system first alerts the driver about the
imminent collision and if the driver does not take
any action to prevent it, the system automatically
applies brakes.
• following distance warning
• lane keep assist
• lane departure warning
• self-parking
• fatigue warning, and traffic-jam assist Many people already know this, however our
demonstration allows participants to experience how
the system works – in a safe (and fun) experience.

Electric Vehicle and
Hybrid Drive Experience Commercial Electric
Vehicle Experience
Australia is on the cusp of having 5 electric vehicles
available for on or around $50,000 and perhaps more
excitingly they represent a broad range of fit-for-
purposes. Commercial electric vehicles are perhaps the
wholly grail of emissions reductions as the majority
of emissions for local councils come from their
commercial vehicles. With many organisations
chasing zero or net zero emissions by 2025 and
acknowledging that commercial vehicles have a
longer life span the time to act is now.
• adaptive headlights
This is a unique opportunity to view and test drive a
suite of electric and plug-in hybrid passenger vehicles
from a range of manufacturers including BMW,
Hyundai, Jaguar, KIA, Mitsubishi, Mercedes, Nissan,
Renault, Tesla and Toyota.

The purpose of the Split Surface Braking
demonstration is to showcase the ability of ABS to
provide stability of the vehicle during heavy braking.
In this session you get an opportunity to drive and
experience a range of commercial EV’s from a small
commuter bus, Pantech and garbage truck. It may
even be possible to experience a tipper.
