AB - Vehicle exploitation in different traffic conditions and on different  terrains often requires use of the brake system, which further influences  the increment of the temperature of executive organs, as well as the brake  system efficiency decrement and violation of traffic safety. This paper is  based exactly on this subject, and the research was conducted in the  laboratory on the test rig, which simulates the quarter of the vehicle.  Three different investigations were conducted for one vehicle, during which  the vehicle speed and braking pressure were the same, and only variable was  air flow speed (0 km•h-1, 7 km•h-1, and 10 km•h-1) around the disc brake,  with the aim to maintain as the lowest possible temperature in the contact  of brake disc and brake pads. The obtained results show that the increment  of the airflow speed causes a longer braking distance. The conclusions made  on the basis of the reviewed literature from the subject field, and their  comparison with obtained results, indicate on the fact that the forced  cooling is not necessary, because it was not overpassed the working  temperature of disk brakes, used in this research. This paper gives insight  into how the air flow speed around the brake disc, has an inconvenient  influence on the stopping distance, and also gives directions for the  improvement of the traffic safety and reliability of the brake system during  vehicle exploitation.
