How to Use the ABS Anti-lock Braking System?

ABS Anti-lock Braking System Usage: Through sensors installed on the wheels, signals indicating that the wheels are about to lock are sent. The controller then instructs the regulator to reduce the hydraulic pressure in the wheel's brake cylinder, decreasing the braking torque. After a certain period, the original hydraulic pressure is restored. This cycle repeats continuously (up to 5 to 10 times per second), ensuring the wheels remain in a rotating state while maintaining significant braking torque. How ABS Works: During braking, ABS quickly determines the locking state of each wheel based on speed signals from the wheel speed sensors. It closes the normally open input solenoid valve for the wheel that is beginning to lock, keeping the braking force constant. If the wheel continues to lock, the normally closed output solenoid valve is opened, causing the braking pressure on that wheel to drop rapidly as it connects directly to the brake fluid reservoir, preventing the wheel from fully locking due to excessive braking force. This keeps the braking state at the optimal point (with a slip rate S of 20%), achieving the best braking effect and ensuring the highest level of driving safety.
