An Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) is a safety feature in vehicles designed to prevent the wheels from locking up during hard braking. When a driver applies the brakes suddenly, ABS automatically modulates brake pressure to maintain traction, allowing the driver to steer while braking. This helps reduce the risk of skidding and loss of control. ABS works by using sensors to monitor wheel speed and a control unit to adjust brake pressure. If a wheel begins to lock, the system rapidly releases and reapplies the brake, creating a pulsing effect. This technology is especially beneficial in slippery conditions, such as rain or snow, enhancing overall vehicle safety.
