ABS is the anti-lock braking system. This safety auxiliary system is one of the functions that everyone is very concerned about. Many years ago, ABS only appeared on top models or higher-priced models, but with the progress of the times and the improvement of driving safety, ABS has become one of the standard safety systems for almost all new cars! But you know what? ABS anti-lock braking system is actually the technology on the plane?
First of all, when did ABS really come out? The answer is 1920! 1920, this ABS system appeared on the plane. The design of ABS system at that time was very simple, not to mention the intelligent ABS system now. Later, an engineer in Germany studied the ABS system at that time, re-optimized it, and finally got the patent of ABS at 1928, and the era of ABS rose!
After 1950, ABS anti-lock braking system generally appeared on large and small aircraft, in order to make the aircraft have safer and more reliable braking force and assistance to stop and prevent the aircraft from slipping off the runway. The first car with ABS system was Ferguson99, and then Jensen FF and Ford Zodiac also had ABS system. However, the ABS system in those days was still mechanical design, not electronic system operation, and the reliability was still not high enough and the cost was high!
Until 1978, Mercedes-Benz and Bosch announced the electronic ABS anti-lock braking system in Stuttgart, Germany, and its class S (W 1 16) became the first car equipped with electronic ABS system in the world! At that time, Mercedes-Benz explained the system like this: the working principle of ABS anti-lock braking system is actually to monitor the changes of wheel rotation through sensors and driving computers.
If the vehicle speed drops too fast (just like stepping on the brakes on a slippery road), once the system detects that the tire will lock up, ABS will immediately intervene, and repeatedly release the braking system and apply force at an ultra-fast speed of milliseconds to prevent the wheel from locking up, so that the driver can control the steering wheel more effectively and reduce the probability of sideslip or spinning.
1992, ABS anti-lock braking system has become the standard of Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. Many car manufacturers have installed this ABS system for their cars and optimized it, so the ABS system has gradually become more and more intelligent and reliable. In today's automobile market, ABS has become one of the indispensable automobile safety auxiliary systems!
