Assessment of the usefulness of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) with partial failure of the braking system

From the point of view of active safety, one of the most important factors is the efficiency of the braking system. In order to determine the impact of malfunctions that may occur in the braking system on its effectiveness when working in conjunction with anti-lock braking systems, road tests were conducted. Measurements of braking deceleration were performed with forced failures in the vehicle’s braking system. The article discusses the conditions of these tests, the results obtained, and presents conclusions.The primary system in a vehicle responsible for active safety is the braking system. Nowadays, its operation is supported by an additional system, which is the ABS. Anti-lock braking systems are currently widely used in cars of all classes. These systems ensure an improvement in active traffic safety. Their task is to modify the braking process in order to (…)
