ABSTRACT

In todays world, braking is the

most important system in

an Automobile.
Brakes are energy conversion
devices, which convert kinetic
energy of the vehicle into
thermal energy.
In Antilock Braking System, we can prevent the
locking of the wheel and hence skidding, using an
Electro Mechanical Control System.

INTRODUCTION

In recent years, with advancement

in design & technology, Disc brakes

are fast replacing drum brakes.
ABS was first developed for
Aircrafts braking system but
soon started replacing the conventional braking
system in trucks and cars.
Recent improvements in ABS allows to prevent
wheel when accelerated on wet or slippery
surface.

OPERATION PRINCIPLE
Limiting the pressure to any

wheel which decelerates too

rapidly is the basic principle
employed in ABS.
A speed sensor is used for
measuring the speed of the
wheel and sends it constantly
to the computer.
Depending on the initial brake pressure and the speed of
the wheel, the computer modulates the brake pressure as
fast as fifteen times per second.

STRUCTURE & OPERATION OF THE ABS

Components of ABS Kit

Brake Calipers
Speed Sensor in wheels
A Hydraulic Motor
Pressure Release Valves
Computer controlled module

TERMINOLOGY
ABS ActuatorWork horse of the ABS.
ABS ChannelHydraulic line connecting ABS

actuator and the wheel.

ABS SensorIt consists a gear
shaped sensor rotor and sensor
element.
ABS ValvesValves are used in
brake line for controlling the
each brake depending on its
position.

TERMINOLOGY

A- speed sensor
B- control module
C- hydraulic unit
with
releasing
valves
D- brake pipe
ABS PumpsIt is used for pumping the backup pressure

from the reservoir to the brake cylinder.

ABS Pulse or ModulationThe braking pressure is
fluctuating fifteen times per second for preventing the
locking of the wheel.

ABS in Bikes

DIFFERENT TYPES OF ABS SYSTEMS

1 or 2 channel 2Wheel (Rear ABS)
2 Channel 4Wheel Crisscross
3 Channel 4Wheel
4 Channel 4Wheel

4 Channel 4Wheel is considered better than the

other three
system.

ADVANTAGES
It can be used for reducing the stopping distance.
It enables to steer while the brakes are firmly

applied.
It allows braking
firmly on surfaces
with different level
of grips.
It can review and
adjust the drivers
driving.
Safe & Effective

DISADVANTAGES
Drivers may take more risks when driving with

vehicles fitted with ABS.

In exceptional circumstances, some drivers have
the skill to stop the vehicle in a shorter distance
than achieved by an ABS equipped vehicle.
People who are inexperienced in using ABS may
respond inappropriately when they activate the
system.
Maintenance of a Car equipped with ABS is
required more.
Very Costly

CONCLUSION
Because of its role in preventing the wheels from
locking and
better steering control during braking, Antilock
Braking System
should be made mandatory for all vehicles.
