How Does the Anti-Skid System Work in Cars?

[RachelRose]

Anti-skid system primarily functions to handle emergency obstacle avoidance through continuous steering. When emergency avoidance is required, the anti-skid system intervenes by increasing the rotational force of the drive wheels; when a tailspin tendency occurs, the system applies braking to the opposite wheel to reduce rotation, thereby helping the vehicle follow the driver's steering intentions. Below is an introduction to the functions of the anti-skid system: 1. Anti-skid Principle: When tires are about to lock up, the anti-skid system performs "mechanical intermittent braking" hundreds of times within one second, allowing the vehicle to maintain steering control via the steering wheel even during full-force braking. When drive wheels slip, the engine ECU reduces throttle intake, lowering engine speed and thus decreasing power output. 2. Anti-skid Function: Installing an anti-skid system can effectively reduce fatal traffic accidents by 43%. Making the anti-skid system a standard feature can reduce single-car accidents in sedans by 34%, rollover accidents in sedans by 71%, and even reduce single-car accidents in SUVs by 59%.
