Understanding the Purpose of ABS

ABS and Road Safety

It's not always known, but anti-lock braking systems have been around since 1920 in the airline industry to prevent airplanes from skidding on landing. The principle of the ABS system is now known to all: it simply prevents the wheels from locking up when the driver presses the brake pedal a little too hard.

• The ABS block: more details below.
• The magnetic targets: they are, depending on the car models, integrated into the wheel bearings.
• The wheel speed sensors: there are 2 types, namely the passive sensors composed in particular of a coil and active sensors.

• The electronic brake distributor, which has a complementary role managed by the ECU.
