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 ...

3. Emergency brake assist - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_brake_assist

   Brake Assist System (BAS)" means a function of the braking system that deduces an emergency braking event from a characteristic of the driver's brake demand and, under such conditions: (a) Assists the driver to deliver the maximum achievable braking rate; or (b) Is sufficient to cause full cycling of the Anti-lock Braking System

4. Brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake

   Foundation components are the brake-assembly components at the wheels of a vehicle, named for forming the basis of the rest of the brake system. These mechanical parts contained around the wheels are controlled by the air brake system. The three types of foundation brake systems are “S” cam brakes, disc brakes and wedge brakes. [3]

5. Automated emergency braking system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_emergency...

   Emergency: the system will intervene only in a critical situation. Braking: the system tries to avoid the accident by applying the brakes. Time-to-collision could be a way to choose which avoidance method (braking or steering) is most appropriate. [6] A collision avoidance system by steering is a new concept.

6. Traction control system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traction_control_system

   Typically, traction control systems share the electrohydraulic brake actuator (which does not use the conventional master cylinder and servo) and wheel-speed sensors with ABS. The basic idea behind the need for a traction control system is the loss of road grip can compromise steering control and stability of vehicles.

7. Hydraulic brake - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydraulic_brake

   The hydraulic braking system is designed as a closed system: unless there is a leak in the system, none of the brake fluid enters or leaves it, nor does the fluid get consumed through use. Leakage may happen, however, from cracks in the O-rings or from a puncture in the brake line.
