Vehicle Braking Systems

Front

ABS

Back

Abbreviation for Anti Lock Braking System, a safety feature in vehicles that prevents wheels from locking up during braking, allowing the driver to maintain steering control.

Front

Brake Force Distribution

Back

A system that automatically adjusts the distribution of braking force between the front and rear wheels to optimize stopping power and stability.

Front

Brake Pedal

Back

The foot-operated pedal in a vehicle that activates the braking system.

Front

Hydraulic Pressure

Back

The force exerted by a liquid, such as brake fluid, to transmit power in a hydraulic system.

Front

Skid

Back

A loss of traction between the tires and the road surface, causing the vehicle to slide uncontrollably.

Front

Speed Sensors

Back

Sensors located on each wheel that detect the rotational speed of the wheels and provide data to the ABS control module.

Front

Stability Control

Back

A system that helps maintain vehicle stability by reducing engine power and selectively applying brakes to individual wheels during cornering or slippery conditions.

Front

Wheel Lock-Up

Back

A condition where the wheels stop rotating and lose traction with the road, usually resulting in a skid.

Front

Wheel Sensors

Back

Sensors located near each wheel that monitor the speed and rotational direction of the wheels, providing crucial data for the ABS system.

Front

Yaw Rate

Back

The rate of rotation around the vertical axis of a vehicle, measured in degrees per second, used by the ABS system to determine if the vehicle is skidding.
