Electronic brakeforce distribution (EBD)
Understanding Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Enhancing Vehicle Stability and Braking Efficiency Automotive Safety: Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) When a vehicle is braked, the load on the front axle increases while the rear axle is relieved of load (dynamic axle load shift). This is due to the inertia of the vehicle body. The resultant torque about the vehicle's transverse axis increases the load on the front axle. In practice this effect can be observed in the dipping of the vehicle body at the front axle during a braking manoeuvre (brake dive). Due to the increase in front axle load,
Understanding the ABS Anti Lock Braking System: How Does ABS Work and Why It’s Essential?
The ABS Anti Lock Braking System: History, Functionality, and Key Components What is ABS System? The ABS anti lock braking system is an essential safety mechanism in contemporary automobiles. It prevents the wheels from locking up during braking, ensuring that the driver maintains control and steerability, even in challenging road conditions. But how does ABS work, and where did it all begin? The History of Anti Lock Braking Systems The roots of the anti-lock braking system trace back to 1920 when a hydraulic mechanism was introduced for aircraft to limit
