suggests‚ prevents a vehicle ’s brakes from locking up and skidding during hard stops on wet or icy roads. When activated correctly‚ Anti-Lock Brake Systems (ABS) can provide drivers with the ability to stop a vehicle in shorter distances and allow for more vehicle control under heavy braking than conventional brake systems. This is especially true under wet or icy road. Anti-lock brakes are designed to prevent skidding and help drivers maintain steering control during an emergency stopping situation.

Introduction An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety system on motor vehicles which prevents the wheels from locking while braking. The Anti-lock Braking System is designed to maintain vehicle control‚ directional stability and optimum deceleration under severe braking conditions on most road surfaces It does so by monitoring the rotational speed of each wheel and controlling the brake line pressure to each wheel during braking. This prevents the wheels from locking up.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) Why are they Used is Heavy Vehicles? ABS is used to prevent car and truck accidents on our roads. Looking at statistics‚ it can be said that the introduction of ABS has reduced the amount of accidents involving heavy vehicles on our roads‚ decreasing the number of fatalities. If we are able to prevent crashes‚ this will save a lot of people’s money on repairs. Another reason that ABS is good on heavy vehicles is the saving in tyre wear. It is estimated that ABS
