ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM FOR CARS

LAASNINGSFRITT BROMSSYSTEM FOER BILAR

The report describes the development of an anti-lock braking system and the results of field tests with an experimental vehicle. The purpose of the project has been to demonstrate in practice the possibilities of maintaining steerability and yaw stability during emergency braking in a curve. Furthermore, to create conditions for making necessary investigations to support regulations concerning anti-lock systems, to build up technical knowledge independent of industrial interests and to offer the results to industry. The results from tests made on ice and on dry asphalt concrete show that the anti-lock system gives the experimental vehicle good steerability and yaw stability during emergency braking in a curve. At the same time good braking efficiency is maintained.
