Brake durabilities on public roads are one of the main activities for the development and validation of OEMs vehicles, in terms of brake noise research and parts wear in the vehicle testing field. Many routes have been defined worldwide; some of them turned into brakes NVH verification standards. Chinese, European and American markets are clear examples, with both city traffic and mountain road patterns. The scope of this paper is to describe a complete correlation of the worldwide public road brake durability standards, in order to get global ratios defining the equivalence between each test.
