  2. Anti-lock braking system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system

    An anti-lock braking system (ABS) is a safety anti-skid braking system used on aircraft and on land vehicles, such as cars, motorcycles, trucks, and buses. [1] ABS operates by preventing the wheels from locking up during braking, thereby maintaining tractive contact with the road surface and allowing the driver to maintain more control over the ...

    Once the brake pads make contact with the rear wheel, the Slidepad slides forward, which pulls a cable that is connected to the front brakes. [1] Similar to the anti-lock brake system in cars, the mechanism prevents the front wheel from locking, no matter how hard the brake is pressed or how slippery the road conditions are. [7] [12]

  4. Traction control system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

    ABS brake-traction control has several advantages over limited-slip and locking differentials, such as steering control of a vehicle is easier, so the system can be continuously enabled. It also creates less stress on powertrain and driveline components, and increases durability as there are fewer moving parts to fail. [3]

    The company said the issue stems from a defective anti-lock braking system, which in turn deactivates the stability control system. The system is a critical safety feature in many vehicles which ...

  6. Wheel slide protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheel_slide_protection

    It is used when braking and may be considered analogous to anti-lock braking (ABS) in cars. The system can also be used to control (or provide an input to) the traction system to control wheel spin when applying power in low adhesion conditions. “Low adhesion” on the rail potentially causes damage to train wheels and the rails.

    WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Chrysler parent Stellantis said Saturday it is recalling 1.46 million vehicles worldwide due to a software malfunction in the anti-lock brake system that can increase the ...

  8. Maxaret - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxaret

    The Jensen FF, which Sports Illustrated called the safest car in the world.. Dunlop's Maxaret was the first anti-lock braking system (ABS) to be widely used. Introduced in the early 1950s, Maxaret was rapidly taken up in the aviation world, after testing found a 30% reduction in stopping distances, and the elimination of tyre bursts or flat spots due to skids.

  9. Electronic stability control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_stability_control

    ESC incorporates yaw rate control into the anti-lock braking system (ABS). Anti-lock brakes enable ESC to slow down individual wheels. Many ESC systems also incorporate a traction control system (TCS or ASR), which senses drive-wheel slip under acceleration and individually brakes the slipping wheel or wheels and/or reduces excess engine power ...
