Anti-lock Braking Systems

Paper Summary:

Anti-lock braking systems (ABS) maintain steering in emergency braking to avoid an accident. This paper provides an analysis of how brakes work, what happens in a scenario of heavy braking without ABS, and how the ABS works. Then, the paper provides a discussion of how a driver maintains control through heavy braking, so the driver can steer clear of an obstacle. The dilemma of the ABS is that sometimes the driver may miss the initial obstacle, only to drive into another.

From the Paper:

"Anti-lock Braking Systems are definitely a safety device worthy of praise. Unfortunately, auto manufacturers cannot make innovations to take the driver completely out of the picture when it comes to emergency situations. Drivers are still going to be erratic, make silly mistakes such as drinking and driving, talking on a cell-phone, or putting makeup on when driving, and overreact in the instance of spotting a hazard too late."
