What is ABS?

• ABS means a Portion of a Service Brake
  System that Automatically Controls the Degree of
  Rotational Wheel Slip during Braking.

• 1) Sensing the Rate of Angular Rotation of
  the Wheels
• 2) Transmitting Signals Regarding the Rate of
  Wheel Angular Rotation to One or More Controlling
  Devices which Interpret those Signals and
  Generate Responsive Controlling Output Signals
  and
• 3) Transmitting those Controlling Signals to
  One or More Modulator Devices Which Adjust Brake
  Actuating Forces in Response to those Signals

The systems primary aims are

• Maximize braking power.
• Allow the driver to maintain control on the
  steering by preventing the wheels from locking
  and skidding.
• Shorten braking distance under most conditions.

Features of the ABS system

• ABS Reduces Stopping Distances on Most Road
  Surfaces, Especially Under Slippery Road
  Conditions (Low Coefficient of Friction).
• ABS Prevents Wheel Lockup thereby Reducing Loss
  of Control during Braking.
• You can steer around the object that you are
  heading towards even while applying maximum brake
  force.

ABS vs. NO ABS
Some believe that it's possible to slow down
quicker in a car without ABS. This has elements
of truth, but in practical terms the benefits of
ABS massively outweigh the slightly longer
braking distances. For road use, ABS is an
absolute must as it will allow you to steer out
of the way of unexpected hazards.
