2) FOUR-WHEEL ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (4ABS) GROUP 35B- the paper gives us
the information regarding the major components of ABS and its functions along
with the system configuration.
4) ECU-the Electronic Control Unit gathers, amplifies, and filters sensor data in
order to compute wheel rotational speed and acceleration.
• ADVANTAGES OF ABS
ABS helps you to stop sooner when you panic brake in many driving
conditions
You have the peace of mind that your car is equipped with an
advanced safety system that, at a minimum, allows you to steer
effectively even when hard braking.
It allows the driver to maintain directional stability and control over
steering during braking
It improves Safety and is a very effective system.
Automatically changes the brake fluid pressure at each wheel to
maintain optimum brake performance.
• DISADVANTAGES OF ABS
Increases the cost of the vehicle.
More expensive to repair and maintain.
Inconsistent stopping distances on various surfaces under variable conditions
Conclusion
By alternatingly increasing and decreasing hydraulic pressure in the brake line, ABS provides
rapid, automated braking in response to warnings of approaching wheel locking. According to
statistics, skidding is responsible for roughly 40% of all automobile accidents. These problems
are common in automobiles with traditional brake systems, but they can be avoided if anti-lock
brake systems are installed (ABS). If the ABS fails, the system will default to standard braking.
The ABS warning light should normally illuminate, alerting the driver to the problem.
The anti-lock braking system gives us a practical way to ensure that our new generation
vehicles become safer as they become faster and more capable. The anti-lock braking
technology ensures higher speeds with fewer dangers. The difficulties that commonly occur in
vehicles with traditional brake systems can be rectified with ABS.
