A passenger side driving instructor brake controller can include a telescoping shaft including a first end and a second end, and a brake lever connector disposed at the first end of a telescoping shaft and adapted to be secured to a brake lever of a motor vehicle disposed within a driver-side front floorboard area of the motor vehicle. A tubular main body bent near its mid-section, the tubular main body configured to adjustably accept the second end of the telescoping shaft therein and secure the telescoping shaft with locking hardware at a fixed position within the tubular main body to enable the main body to traverse over a main console of the motor vehicle where the tubular main body is bent at its mid-section and also to extend into a passenger compartment area of the motor vehicle wherein the tubular main body can terminate at a handle area.

An assembly for actuating a vehicle's brake system from a dual-driver position includes an auxiliary brake pedal coupled to the vehicle remotely from the primary brake pedal. A master cylinder's piston is actuated when the auxiliary brake pedal pivots, and a hydraulic line provides hydraulic fluid to and removes hydraulic fluid from a slave cylinder in response. A lever is provided near the primary brake pedal and has one end coupled to the slave cylinder. The lever pivots in response to provision or removal of hydraulic fluid to or from the slave cylinder. A connector is coupled to the lever's opposite end and moves with the lever. The connector is coupled to a movable member that directly applies force to a rod of a primary brake system actuator and applies force to the movable member at the same location where the primary brake pedal applies force to the movable member.

A steering brake locking system for a vehicle, such as an agricultural tractor, has at least first and second adjacent steering brake pedals, and a locking pin arranged to selectively lock the pedals together. The locking pin and at least a portion of the first and second pedals are formed from a conductive material, such that an electrically conductive path is formed between the first and second pedals through the locking pin when the pin is used to lock the pedals together. The locking status of the pedals can be determined by measuring the electrical conductivity between the first and second pedals.

An adjustable auxiliary brake control system for an educational driving vehicle with a main brake and a driver seat comprises an auxiliary brake assembly, a connecting frame, a supporting structure and a brake cable. The system attains strong and reliable support from a driver-seat-bracket to achieve auxiliary brake control from the passenger compartment through the brake cable. The system is easy to install and uninstall, universally fits to variable vehicle models, and has a non-damaging installation process.

A brake pedal feedback system includes a spring driver, a first spring, a first brake pedal, and a second brake pedal. The spring driver includes a first recess and a second recess. The first brake pedal includes a first extension at least partially positioned in the first recess. The second first brake pedal includes a second extension at least partially positioned in the second recess. When the first brake pedal is in an engaged position and the second brake pedal is in a disengaged position, the first extension contacts a first surface of the first recess causing the spring driver to move the first spring from a relaxed condition to an energy storing condition, and the second extension is spaced apart from a first surface of the second recess.

A driver training vehicle system includes a driver training vehicle and an interface system with an auxiliary control unit that is removably installable in the vehicle. A vehicle control system can receive a brake input from a vehicle driver via a floor pedal in the vehicle as well as a brake input from a vehicle passenger via the auxiliary unit. The control system adjusts an engine torque and a brake torque based on the received brake inputs to decelerate the vehicle.
