ABS Working Principle
When in an emergency, a car uninstalled with an ABS system will
have lock brake without any time to brake gradually by stages. For
car’s spurt inertia, many dangerous situations might occur
immediately such as sideslip, running track deviation and
uncontrolled direction of car’s bodywork!
For a car installed with an ABS system, when wheels nearly reach
the lock brake critical point, the brake can run 60 to 120 times
within a second, which is equivalent to ceaseless brakes and
releases, just like the action of “light brake” in mechanical
automation.
It can prevent a car from being out of direction control and sideslip
of wheels when there is an emergency brake. At the same time, it
can increase wheels’ friction force to make brake efficiency be up to
over 90%.
Advantages of ABS
1. Prevent from lock brake of front wheels and from out of direction
control when braking
2. Prevent from lock brake of back wheels, sideslip and back end
whipping
3. Shorten braking distance
4. Reduce abrasion of wheels

 Sliding Ratio

When a car brakes, there is a speed difference between car’s speed and wheels’ speed and wheels will
slide. The definition of sliding ratio is:

car’s speed-wheels’ speed

= X 100%, wheels’ speed=wheels rotation speed X wheels’ semi-diameter
car’s speed
