Advancements in Anti-Lock Braking Systems

Abstract

Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS) have revolutionized vehicle safety by preventing wheel lock-up during emergency braking scenarios, enhancing vehicle control and reducing stopping distances on slippery surfaces. Over the past few decades, ABS technology has evolved significantly with the integration of electronics, sensors, and artificial intelligence. This paper explores the core mechanisms of ABS, key advancements in hardware and software integration, sensor technologies, and the application of machine learning in optimizing braking performance. The paper also highlights emerging trends like predictive braking, adaptive braking systems, and integration with autonomous driving technologies. These innovations are driving the future of safer, smarter transportation systems.
