Typical Control Cycles
• Control cycle on surfaces with good grip (High
coefficient of friction).

-If the ABS sequence is activated on a road surface with

good grip (high coefficient of friction), the subsequent
pressure rise must be 5 to 10 times slower than in the
initial braking phase in order to prevent undesirable
suspension vibration.

Phase 1: the wheel deceleration passes the set threshold

level (–a)
Result: the relevant solenoid valve switches to the
“maintain pressure” setting.

Phase 2: the wheel speed, vR, drops below the λ1

threshold.
Result: the solenoid valves switch to the “reduce pressure”
setting so that the pressure drops, and they remain at that
setting as long as the wheel deceleration is above the
threshold (–a).
Typical Control Cycles
Phase 3: the deceleration rate falls below the threshold
(–a) again and a pressure-maintenance phase of a certain
length follows
Result: During that period, the wheel acceleration has
increased so much that the threshold (+a) is passed. The
pressure continues to be maintained at a constant level.

Phase 4: the wheel acceleration exceeds the relatively

high threshold level (+A).
Result: The brake pressure then increases for as long as
the acceleration remains above the threshold (+A).

Phase 6: the brake pressure is once again held constant

because the acceleration is above the threshold (+a).
Result: the wheel acceleration falls below the threshold
(+a). This is an indication that the wheel has returned to
the stable zone of the curve for friction coefficient versus
brake slip and is now slightly underbraked.

Phase 7: The brake pressure is now increased in stages

(phase 7) until the wheel deceleration passes the threshold
(–a).
:the brake pressure is reduced immediately
without a λ1 signal being generated.
