What does the Anti-lock Braking System mean?
1 Answers
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is an active safety system in automobiles, commonly referred to as the ABS braking system, which is an improvement upon conventional braking devices. The function of the Anti-lock Braking System is to automatically control the braking force during vehicle braking, preventing the wheels from locking up and maintaining a state of rolling and sliding, thereby ensuring maximum traction between the wheels and the road surface. The ABS braking system employs a variable reluctance rotor installed on vehicle components, enabling the driver to steer the wheels promptly. Additionally, it is equipped with electromagnetic speed sensors designed to determine wheel speed. The measured information is transmitted to the electronic control unit (ECU), which then operates the ABS system using distribution valve assemblies and pumps.
