“ANTI-LOCK BRAKING 
SYSTEMS IN CARS” 
“A LIFE SAVER FOR 
RIDERS”
Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is an automobile safety system that 
allows the wheels on a motor vehicle to 
maintain tractive contact with the road surface according to 
driver inputs while braking, preventing the wheels from 
locking up (ceasing rotation) and avoiding 
uncontrolled skidding. It is an automated system that uses the 
principles of threshold braking which were practiced by skilful 
drivers with previous generation braking systems. It does this 
at a much faster rate and with better control than a driver could 
manage.
 It is a Braking system arrangement in 
vehicles for safe riding during sudden or 
heavy braking. 
 It maintains a balance between the wheel 
speed and the vehicle speed to avoid 
skidding during heavy braking. 
 It ensures that there is less TRACTION 
loss in the tyres of the vehicle.

Types of ABS 
1] Four Wheel Channel

 Maintain directional stability in steering 
during heavy/sudden braking. 
 Safe & Effective 
 Absorbs unwanted turbulence shockwaves 
 Easy Fault/Failure detection by the vehicle 
owner 
 Automatic change of brake fluid pressure in 
each wheel
 Very Costly 
 Maintenance of a Car equipped with ABS is 
required more.
