ABSTRACT:
An emergency brake system for wheeled vehicles includes a deformable brake wedge for each tire on one of the vehicle's axles. The brake wedges are constructed and arranged to transfer substantially all braking forces to the vehicle through the vehicle's tires. The system also includes releasable mechanism for allowing the brake wedges to move between inoperative and operative positions and an electrically-controlled pin for retaining the brake wedges in those positions.
