What does the ABS anti-lock braking system mean?
1 Answers
The ABS anti-lock braking system automatically controls the braking force during vehicle braking to prevent wheel lock-up, keeping the wheels in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip rate of around 20%). This ensures that the adhesion between the wheels and the road surface is maximized. The anti-lock braking system can improve the safety factor of emergency braking while driving. Single-channel ABS generally controls both rear wheels together based on the low-select principle. Single-channel ABS cannot fully utilize the adhesion of both rear wheels, so the braking distance may not necessarily be significantly reduced. Without ABS, when emergency braking is applied in critical situations, the tires are prone to lock up, meaning the steering wheel cannot be turned, thereby increasing the risk factor.
