To
Traction Control
It stops wheel spin by reducing
engine power or temporarily
applying the brakes to that wheel
It also allows the car to accelerate
smoothly, even on slippery surfaces
TYPES OF TRACTION
Brakes slow down a car by using traction
which causes friction in the braking system.
Traction results when the caliper
presses against the piston

That causes the piston to press against the


brake pads that add friction to the wheel,
causing the wheel to slow down or stop

The stopped wheel no


longer produces the kinetic
energy that propels the car
forward

The tire provides traction


on the road, which slows
the momentum of the car
It prevents the brakes from
applying traction to the tires
to the extent that the tires
stop spinning.
And 2nd…Traction can be controlled by getting
better tires that dig into the ground more, which
is especially helpful in winter conditions
When tires slip, there are often
differences in the rate at which they
slip, which can cause the driver to lose
steering control of the vehicle.
Stopping On Ice
An ABS prevents lock-ups and skidding in slippery conditions.
Anti-lock brakes have been proven to save lives in some situations
by helping drivers keep control on vehicle
.

Lower Insurance
Costs
Higher Resale Value
As a feature on a car or truck, an ABS raises the market value of
the vehicle. Nowadays, where ABS technology has become standard
on many vehicles, not having it could result in a lower price for
resale
Traction Control
Anti-lock brakes are made to provide
for surer braking in slippery conditions.
However, some drivers report that they
find stopping distances for regular
conditions are lengthened by their
ABS.
Delicate Systems
It's easy to cause a problem in an ABS by messing around
with the brakes. Problems include disorientation of the
ABS, where a compensating brake sensor causes the
vehicle to shudder, make loud noise or generally brake
worse.

In the last, actuators releases
the brakes until you slow down
safely.
STEPS….. AS FOLLOWES…

 If your car doesn't have an anti-lock braking system, your


easiest solution would probably be to go to a manufacturer's
dealership.

 Their mechanics are most familiar with your car model and
what is needed to install anti-lock brakes.

 In any circumstance, because an anti-lock system must be integrated with your car's current
braking system, the installation will not be cheap. However, the benefits of such an upgrade can
be priceless
