Anti-lock braking system - The New Evolution in Auto Parts

Anti-lock braking system - The New Technology of Automobile Industry
In recent times, the automobiles market is growing in rapid speed in worldwide. In this 21st century lots of new generation cars coming up and the importance and the standards of auto parts growing very rapidly. In all over the world there is a huge market for the all types of auto parts like anti-lock braking system commonly known as ABS. It is a safety system which prevents the wheels on a motor vehicle from locking up (or ceasing to rotate) while braking.

Anti-Lock barking system senses any significant difference in wheel speed, from one wheel to another, when a vehicle is braking hard. When any of the wheels begin to lock up (completely stop rotating), ABS automatically reduces the braking forces to that wheel or wheels in order to keep all the wheels rolling – to prevent break-induced skidding. A rotating road wheel allows the driver to maintain steering control under heavy braking by preventing a skid and allowing the wheel to continue interacting tractively with the road surface as directed by driver steering inputs. While ABS offers improved vehicle control, and may decrease stopping distances on dry and especially slippery surfaces, it can also increase braking distance on loose surfaces such as snow and gravel.


Since 21st century widely use in production cars, anti-lock braking systems have evolved considerably. Recent versions not only prevent wheel lock under braking, but also electronically control the front-to-rear brake bias. This function, depending on its specific capabilities and implementation, is known as electronic brake force distribution (EBD), traction control system, emergency brake assist, or electronic stability control. ABS can control all four wheels (cars and most 4x4s have this system) or any two. The system can group wheels together in "channels" of operation (i.e. a three-channel ABS system on a four-wheeled vehicle) or have one channel for each wheel (four-channel ABS).
