Brake Testing Meets
Live Vehicle Diagnostics.
Measure the Stop. Understand the Vehicle.
NetBrake AutoLine is an Android tablet-based dynamic brake testing system for passenger and light commercial vehicles. It measures physical stopping performance and integrates live OBD2 Bluetooth data to validate tests, diagnose vehicle behavior, and generate professional customer reports.
DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAY
Brake Inspections Need More Than Opinion
Modern workshops need more than a technician saying "the brakes feel soft." Customers want hard evidence, workshop managers require traceability, and service advisors need a professional mechanism to explain safety repair recommendations.
Provide dynamic stop analysis to replacement clients. Replace subjective testing opinions with verifiable braking efficiency percentages.
Log objective dynamic deceleration results before repairs are quoted, and perform a secondary validation check post-repair to prove the improvement.
Capture engine speeds, RPM changes, accelerator statuses, and control voltages to understand if engine resistance or driver error impacted the stop.
Give service advisors a beautifully structured, custom A4 PDF printout showing deceleration graphs, brake wear highlights, and SANS compliances.
A Brake Tester Built for Modern Workshops
Combining physical stop measurement with live OBD2 vehicle validation
Measure
Internal tablet sensors record physical stopping distance, deceleration rate, and stopping time.
Validate
Live OBD2 Bluetooth data verifies vehicle conditions (e.g. driver foot completely off the accelerator pedal).
Report
Generate customer-ready A4 PDF reports featuring workshop diagnostic summaries and recommendation paths.
How It Works
Connect
Plug the compact OBD2 Bluetooth dongle into the vehicle dashboard socket.
Test
Secure the tablet to the windshield, set the trigger speed, and make a controlled test stop.
Capture
AutoLine simultaneously captures physical stopping parameters and streams key ECU values.
Analyse
Software automatically calculates total braking efficiency and runs test validation checks.
Report
Produce a professional customer-ready A4 report in seconds via Wi-Fi or thermal printer.
Integrated OBD2 Dynamic Validation
Traditional decelerometers only tell you when a vehicle stopped, but they cannot verify if the test conditions were valid. By connecting to the vehicle's ECU during the dynamic event, AutoLine captures critical validation markers.
AutoLine uses OBD2 parameters to validate whether the driver completely released the accelerator pedal, checks RPM behaviors to ensure standard transmission resistance, and evaluates voltage stability during testing.
Prove the Improvement After Repairs
42% Brake Eff.
Test highlights weak braking performance. Deceleration curve drops during activation. Vehicle stopping distance recorded at 18.6 meters.
54% Brake Eff.
Test validates successful brake component installation. High deceleration curves maintained throughout dynamic event. Distance reduced to 14.2 meters.
Vehicle Compatibility & Data Availability
OBD2 dynamic metrics depend entirely on model support and standard protocol configurations within the vehicle's ECU. In cases where specific engine loads or accelerator angles are restricted, AutoLine relies on high-resolution tablet sensors to output standard dynamic braking efficiencies. Advanced proprietary manufacturer data (like stability controls or individual wheel cylinder pressures) is not typical over generic OBD interfaces.
