Will the Braking Distance Be Significantly Reduced After Installing an Anti-lock Braking System?
1 Answers
In some cases, the braking distance may be reduced after installing an anti-lock braking system, but under other different conditions, the situation may be exactly the opposite. Here is some extended information about the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): 1. Function of ABS: When the car brakes, it automatically controls the braking force of the brake to prevent the wheels from locking up, keeping them in a state of rolling and sliding (with a slip rate of about 20%) to ensure maximum adhesion between the wheels and the ground. 2. Limitations of ABS: The ABS system itself also has limitations. In two scenarios, ABS cannot provide the shortest braking distance. One is on smooth dry roads when braking is performed directly by an experienced driver. The other scenario is braking on loose gravel roads, loose soil surfaces, or deep snow-covered roads.
