ABS with EBD

Image
 ABS with EBD ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) : Vehicle wheels may lock-up due to excessive wheel brake force over tire, caused by too much hydraulic line pressure. The ABS monitors wheel speeds and releases pressure on individual wheel brake lines, rapidly pulsing individual brakes to prevent lock-up.  Four channel ABS systems have an individual brake line for each of the four wheels, enabling different braking pressure on different road surfaces.  EBD (Electronic Breakeforce Distribution) : EBD is a subsystem of the ABS system. This is the system that checks the speed and acceleration or deceleration of each wheel to estimate the amount of load on the wheels. The EBD adjusts the valves on the hydraulic lines of the brakes and distributes braking force accordingly. The objective of the ABS with EBD systems is to provide the driver with more steering control under hard braking situations and also to reduce stopping distances in some cases such as wet roads.
