ABS is one of the most important factors that have also witnessed exceptional progress during the past years in the field of the automobile industry are safety and security systems, and cars have been equipped with a wide range of safety systems that provide protection from accidents, the most important of which is the Anti-lock Braking System, which is referred to as Abbreviated as ABS.

This system prevents the wheels from locking and prevents cars from skidding when the brakes are applied hard, especially in slippery road conditions. This ensures safer driving, because completely preventing the wheels from rotating leads to them slipping and controlling them becomes almost impossible. Therefore, this system performs safe braking to protect drivers from dangerous situations that arise following loss of control of the vehicle. Anti-lock braking system (ABS).

In the past, drivers used to press the brakes intermittently and several times to avoid this problem, but with the emergence of the ABS anti-lock braking system in the early seventies, after the American company Chrysler, in cooperation with Bendix, installed the ABS system on its cars, the system also appeared available in Toyota Crown in 1971.

But credit for developing the world's first anti-lock braking system goes to French engineer Gabriel Voisin. He revealed his invention in 1929, and it was intended for airplanes with the aim of preventing planes from sliding when they landed due to closing the brakes. By the end of the seventies, the 1978 Mercedes-Benz S-Class was the first commercially produced car to be equipped with this developed system to prevent locking brakes (ABS). By the eighties, the company introduced German BMW installed an anti-lock braking system in 1988 on its K100 motorcycle.

Components of the anti-lock braking system (ABS): It consists of a central electronic control unit, hydraulic valves, and tire speed sensors; These parts work together in complete harmony. The central control unit monitors the speed of rotation of the tires through sensors installed on it to know which wheels have closed due to braking, while the hydraulic valves work to reduce and increase the brake pressure between the four wheels, which achieves the best braking distance without any of them closing.

One of the most important advantages of the ABS anti-lock braking system is the rapid response of the system, which makes the braking process effective and allows the driver to maintain control of the car even when the brakes are actually applied. The ABS anti-lock braking system also greatly reduces the chances of skidding during harsh braking, and detects the change in Monitor road surface conditions at a glance using the speed sensor on those tires.

The ABS system also plays the role of traction control on wet, snowy and slippery roads, and can help reduce the occurrence of accidents by using advanced technology that can warn the driver of dangers, and work to stop the car quickly when anticipating a collision with another car or anything else.
