What Causes the Vehicle to Continue Sliding Forward When Braking Hard?
1 Answers
During emergency braking, to prevent wheel lock-up, the ABS system intervenes, allowing the wheels to continue rotating, which results in the vehicle sliding forward. Below is relevant information about ABS: 1. Function of the vehicle ABS system: The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) automatically controls the braking force during vehicle braking to prevent wheel lock-up, maintaining a state where the wheels are both rolling and sliding (with a slip ratio of about 20%), ensuring maximum traction between the wheels and the road. The ABS system activates only during emergency braking, continuously switching between the critical points of wheel sliding and rolling, effectively reducing braking distance and preventing skidding during sudden stops. This system significantly enhances driving safety, making ABS a mandatory feature in modern vehicles. 2. Components of the ABS system: Includes the ABS module, ABS master cylinder, hydraulic lines, wheel speed sensors, etc.
