“ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEMS IN CARS”

“A LIFE SAVER FOR RIDERS”

Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is an automobile safety system that allows the wheels on a motor vehicle to maintain tractive contact with the road surface according to driver inputs while braking, preventing the wheels from locking up (ceasing rotation) and avoiding uncontrolled skidding. It is an automated system that uses the principles of threshold braking which were practiced by skilful drivers with previous generation braking systems. It does this at a much faster rate and with better control than a driver could manage.

It is a Braking system arrangement in vehicles for safe riding during sudden or heavy braking.

It maintains a balance between the wheel speed and the vehicle speed to avoid skidding during heavy braking.

It ensures that there is less TRACTION loss in the tyres of the vehicle.

Maintain directional stability in steering during heavy/sudden braking.

Safe & Effective

Absorbs unwanted turbulence shockwaves

Easy Fault/Failure detection by the vehicle owner

Automatic change of brake fluid pressure in each wheel

Very Costly

Maintenance of a Car equipped with ABS is required more.
