antiblokkoló
Antiblokkoló, often referred to as an ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) in English, is a safety system designed to prevent the wheels of a vehicle from locking up during braking. When a driver applies the brakes forcefully, especially on slippery surfaces, the wheels can lose traction and stop rotating, leading to a skid and loss of steering control. Antiblokkoló technology mitigates this by rapidly pulsing the brakes. Sensors at each wheel monitor their rotational speed. If a wheel is detected to be slowing down too quickly and is about to lock, the system momentarily releases brake pressure on that specific wheel. This allows the wheel to regain traction and continue rotating. The pressure is then reapplied, and this cycle repeats many times per second. This modulation of braking force ensures that the tires maintain optimal grip, allowing the driver to steer the vehicle and stop more effectively. Modern antiblokkoló systems are standard on most new vehicles and are considered a crucial safety feature for preventing accidents.
