What is anti-lock braking system?
ABS or Antilock Braking System usually apply and release braking pressure up to 20 times a second. it consists of a central Electronic Control Unit ECU, Four Wheel Speed Sensors and Hydraulic Control Valves. The ECU constantly monitors the rotational speed of each wheel, and when it detects a wheel rotating significantly slower than the others (wheel lock) it actuates the valves to reduce hydraulic pressure to the brake at the affected wheel, thus reducing the braking force on that wheel. The wheel then turns faster; when the ECU detects it is turning significantly faster than the others, brake hydraulic pressure to the wheel is increased so the braking force is reapplied and the wheel slows. This process is repeated continuously, and can be detected by the driver via brake pedal pulsation. This helps in controlling the vehicle while braking as the wheels doesn’t lock and the vehicle doesn’t slide. helps you take a turn on high speed and stop car on slippery surface in minimum distance
