The function of ABS
ABS:Anti-lock Brake System, As the name suggests, it is the 'anti lock braking system'. Everyone knows that the maximum braking effect occurs at the moment before the tire locks up. If the braking force can be kept in balance with the tire friction, the maximum braking effect will be achieved. When the braking force of the brake exceeds the friction force of the tire, it will cause the tire to lock up. Once the tire locks up, the friction between the tire and the ground will change from 'static friction' to 'dynamic friction'. Not only will the friction force be greatly reduced, but the steering and tracking ability will also be lost. Due to the fact that tire locking is the result of a comparison between braking force and friction between the tire and the ground, the limit of tire locking during vehicle travel varies depending on the characteristics of the tire itself, road conditions, positioning angle, tire pressure, and suspension system characteristics. ABS uses speed sensors installed on four wheels to determine whether the tires are locked or not, eliminating the uncertainty of human sensory factors and accurately controlling the timely release of hydraulic pressure from the brake cylinder to prevent brake lock. At present, most ABS systems adopt a design that can be continuously pressed and released 12~60 times per second (12~60Hz), which is already a super high level of performance compared to top professional racing drivers who can press and release 3~6 times. The higher the frequency of pressing and releasing, the closer the braking force can be maintained to the edge of the limit. The accuracy and reliability that ABS can achieve have exceeded human limits, so we say that ABS is the most cost-effective equipment when buying a car. Especially the relative danger of Air Bag is even more so.
