Abstract: The method involves adapting the number of vehicles as well as a composition of the vehicle at certain conditions such as the numbers of passenger arising or a traveling distance. The function emergency brake over-ride (NB) can be switched on and when not necessary, switched off. During switch off of the functioning emergency brake over-ride, the manipulation of a passenger emergency brake is bypassed and released independently by the driver providing an immediate course of emergency braking. Switches are accordingly provided in a prominent position in the drivers cab such that execution of an emergency brake bypass mechanism is easily implemented. With the activated 'NB' function the operating situation is different to the manipulation of the passenger emergency brakes. An NB instruction is independent from the lead vehicle emergency brake mechanisms and manipulation of a passenger emergency brake is ineffectively switched.

Abstract: Elastomers are formed from castor oil and/or ricinoleic acid estolides and a polyester formed from an epoxidized vegetable oil such as ESO and a polycarboxylic acid such as sebacic acid, optionally in the presence of a peroxide initiator, or include crosslinked reaction products derived from ricinoleic acid or castor oil estolides, epoxy group-containing compounds such as epoxy resins and/or epoxidized vegetable oil, epoxy hardeners such as polyamine and polycarboxylic acid hardeners, thermally activated free radical initiators such as peroxides, and optionally but preferably include fillers such as limestone or wood flour.. The elastomers can be prepared using a two-step, solvent-less procedure at elevated or ambient temperatures. These predominantly "all-natural" elastomers have physical properties comparable to conventional petroleum-based elastomers and composites and exhibit good flexibility, resiliency, abrasion resistance and inertness to hydrolysis. The resulting elastomers display good mechanical strength and resiliency, are resistant to abrasion and hydrolysis, and can be processed into sheet materials, which makes them attractive as floor covering components.
