Types of Parking Brakes:: Self-Locking: at Certain Critical Value of FC, The Term (B-FC) Becomes Zero, I.e., No Actuation
There are four main types of parking brakes: stick lever, centre lever, pedal, and electric or push button. Parking brakes can be either self-energizing, requiring force to engage but not to maintain, or self-locking, engaging at a critical point without any continued force needed. Self-locking brakes automatically engage at a specific point without further input.

TYPES OF PARKING BRAKES:
There are four types of emergency brakes:
Stick lever: Generally, found under the instrument panel (found in older-model vehicles). Centre lever: Located in between separated front seats. Pedal: Located to the left of the floor pedals. Electric or push button: Located on console with other controls. SELF ENERGIZING & SELF LOCKING BRAKES: Self-Locking: At certain critical value of fc, the term (b-fc) becomes zero, i.e., no actuation force is needed to be apply braking. This is the condition for self-locking. Self-locking will not occur unless it is specifically desired.
