The purpose of this is to allow the driver to maintain steering control under heavy braking and, in some situations, to shorten braking distances (by allowing the driver to hit the brake fully without the fear of skidding or loss of control). Disadvantages of the system include increased braking distances under certain conditions and the creation of a "false sense of security" among drivers who do not understand the operation and limitations of ABS. ... On high-traction surfaces such as bitumen, or concrete many (though not all) ABS-equipped cars are able to attain braking distances better (i.e. shorter) than those that would be easily possible without the benefit of ABS. ... In gravel and deep snow, ABS tends to increase braking distances. On these surfaces, locked wheels dig in and stop the vehicle more quickly. ABS prevents this from occurring. ... The primary benefit of ABS on such surfaces is to increase the ability of the driver to maintain control of the car rather than go into a skid ? though loss of control remains more likely on soft surfaces like gravel or slippery surfaces like snow or ice. - from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-lock_braking_system" |
