The impact of anti-lock braking system on braking distance of the vehicle

In present, various means that enable to avoid a crash are rapidly spreading in vehicles. One of such technologies is anti-lock braking system (ABS). In the present Paper, the importance of the anti-lock braking system and its impact on braking distance of a car on wet asphalt are being analysed. During the tests, the speed of movement, braking distance and brake pedal stressing force of two vehicles (with and without ABS) had been fixed. The importance of using of ABS, its advantages and imperfections are discussed on the base of the results of the said experience
