I'll give a nice simple answer here. Braking efficiency is used to describe how effective your vehicle's braking system is at reducing your vehicles speed as needed and halting it when required.
I would use the term as follows - Towing a trailer that is too large for your vehicle to tow will severely compromise your vehicles braking efficiency making it very difficult and/or impossible to reduce your speed when required.

What is braking efficiency in railway braking?
pretty low
What is the meaning of the term braking efficiency?
Braking effort as a percentage of the weight of the vehicle.
Will water or dust affect the efficiency of the braking system?
Water, yes.
What things can affect braking distance?
Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires Things that affect braking distance consist of the following factors: * speed at which you're travelling * weight of the car * road conditions * braking efficiency * friction between the road surface and your tires
What affects breaking distance?
Several factors can affect braking distance in a motor vehicle.Speed, the faster you are travelling means a longer braking distance.Drivers reaction time, the road surface, efficiency of the brakes, efficiency of the tyres, and any combination of these factors.
Are rotors free floating on a 2002 Pontiac firebird?
yes, if they aren't you will loose braking efficiency
How is braking efficiency of a car calculated?
vehicle weight divided by total brake effort, then multiplied by 100
What about dodge Esp?
Electronic Slip protection is used in conjunction with ABS braking, it is meant to help the braking process on ice and in slippery road conditions!
What is the emergency braking efficiency percentage for a vehicles foot brake?
the footbrake is 50 and the handbrake is 16 on a split system
How long will it take to stop a vehicle?
There are many factors involved and therefore no single answer. Some factors are reaction time, vehicle speed, vehicle weight, braking type, braking efficiency and vehicle type.
What is meant by brakin efficiency?
I think Braeking efficiency is the relation between the velocity and the time to stop something in movement.
How do you calculate brake efficiency of a car?
estimates the distance a car travel at 100 km/h during your reaction time in braking
