Rasvapedalisüsteem

Rasvapedalisüsteem, also known as a "fat pedal system" or "fat pedal override," is a type of control system found in some vehicles, particularly heavy machinery and off-road vehicles. Its primary function is to provide a more nuanced and precise control over acceleration and braking, often through a single pedal or a redesigned pedal arrangement. Instead of separate pedals for the accelerator and brake, a rasvapedalisüsteem typically uses a wide, single pedal. Pushing the pedal down with the toe engages the accelerator, while pressing it further down with the heel, or by applying more force, activates the brakes.

This system allows the operator to seamlessly transition between acceleration and braking without lifting their foot or moving it between different pedals. This can be particularly useful in situations where continuous and fine-tuned control is required, such as navigating rough terrain, performing delicate maneuvers, or when operating in confined spaces. The ability to modulate both functions with one foot can enhance operator efficiency and reduce fatigue. The specific implementation and feel of a rasvapedalisüsteem can vary between different manufacturers and vehicle models. Some systems may offer a distinct point or resistance where braking engages, while others might have a more gradual transition. The adoption of this system is often driven by the need for improved control and ergonomics in demanding operating environments.
