Introduction to Antilock Breaking System (ABS)

Abstract

Antilock Braking System (ABS) is very useful in advanced automobiles to avoid slip and lock up of wheel when brakes applied. It is automobile protection system, the regulator is provided to regulate the required torque to sustain optimal slip ration. The slip ration signifies in terms of automobile speed and wheel spin. It is an automated system that relays on principles of threshold braking and cadence braking which were experienced by skilled drivers with former generation braking system. It reaction time is so fast to makes easy steering for the driver. ABS usually deliver advanced vehicle control and reduce the stopping distance in greasy and dry surface, on the other hand on loose surface like pebbles or snow covered pavement, ABS can knowingly rise braking distance, even though still improving vehicle control.[1].The antilock Braking System was developed by Gabriel Voisin in 1929.
