Abstract

A general review of passenger car antilock braking systems is given. Their manner of operation is described and their effects on vehicle braking performance and stability is discussed. Particular emphasis is placed on the influence of antilock brakes on vehicle stability and stopping performance in straight-ahead braking and cornering situations over a broad range speeds and pavement conditions. Antilock systems options and the relative merits of two- and four-wheel systems are discussed along with possible future prospects.
