Anti-Lock Braking Systems 6
Basic Functions of ABS
• Physics 101: Static Friction is Greater than Moving Friction
• ABS IS Computer Controlled Brake Pedal “Pumping”
• ABS Allows the Driver To Maintain Control During Hard Braking

Anti-Lock Braking Systems 7
Vehicle ABS System
• Speed Sensors on Wheels are Monitored by On Board Computer
• Radical Speed Differences Trigger ABS Action
• ABS “Pumps” the Brakes 18 Times per Second

Anti-Lock Braking Systems 8
Vehicle ABS System
• ABS Systems “Counter-Intuitive” Operations– Grinding Sounds
from All Wheels– Pulsating or Soft
Brake Pedal– Driver Can Still Steer
(with Reduced Effect)

Anti-Lock Braking Systems 10
Driver Education (Cars)
• STOMP on the Brake Pedal
• STAY on the Brake Pedal with Steady Pressure
• STEER to Avoid Collision
• “Pumping” the Brake Pedal STOPS ABS Systems from Operating Properly (ON-OFF-ON-OFF-ON-OFF)

Anti-Lock Braking Systems 12
Driver Education (Trucks)
• Single Vehicle Configuration
• All Wheels
– STOMP, STAY, STEER
• Tractor - Trailer Configuration
• Any Combination
– Brake Steadily and Evenly
• Back-off Brakes to Maintain Control
