What Does Brake Assist Mean?
1 Answers
Brake assist system, abbreviated as "ABS", monitors the frequency and force with which the driver presses the brake pedal. In critical moments, it assists the driver in applying greater braking force to the vehicle, thereby reducing the braking distance. The reason for the existence of the brake assist system: Although the anti-lock braking system (ABS) on the vehicle can shorten the braking distance and prevent the vehicle from losing control during braking, thereby reducing the likelihood of accidents, in emergency braking situations, drivers often fail to quickly trigger the ABS due to insufficient decisiveness or inadequate pedal force, wasting braking time and failing to achieve the desired effect. The brake assist system compensates for this shortcoming of ABS. By utilizing sensors on the throttle and brake systems, it assesses the driver's operation of the throttle and brake pedals. When it detects that the driver suddenly presses the brake pedal with extreme speed and force, it is judged as requiring emergency braking, and the system then pressurizes the braking system to enhance and generate the strongest braking force, allowing the vehicle and its occupants to quickly escape from danger. The role of the brake assist system: It is used to prevent wheel lock-up when the brakes are applied. The moment the car experiences wheel slip, rollover, or loss of tire traction, while reducing engine speed, it purposefully applies braking control to individual wheels, ultimately guiding the car back onto the normal driving path, thereby avoiding the dangers caused by loss of control.
