Determination of mechanical and chemical properties of brake pads for Light Rail Transit applications / Mohamad Nor Berhan and Darius Gnanaraj Solomon

Light Rail Transit (LRT) is an emerging mode of public transportation in Malaysia. Currently there are three commercial LRT Operators namely, STAR-LRT, PUTRALRT and KL Monorail, which provide commuting service in and around Kuala Lumpur. The braking systems of all these LRT trains incorporate commer...
