What is ABS?
ABS (Anti-lock Systems) was originally developed for aircraft braking systems. When used properly, an antilock brake system (ABS) is a safe and effective braking system. ABS allows the driver to maintain directional stability, control over steering, and in some situations, to reduce stopping distances during emergency braking situation, particularly on wet and slippery road surface. To gain this safety advantage, drivers must learn how to operate their ABS correctly. An antilock braking system works with the regular or foundation brakes on your vehicle. ABS simply keeps your base brakes from locking up. In vehicles not equipped with ABS, the driver can manually pump the brakes to prevent wheel lockup. In vehicles equipped with ABS, the driver’s foot remains firmly on the brake pedal, allowing the system to automatically pump the brakes. Why is that important? When your brakes lock up on wet and slippery roads or during a panic stop, you lose steering control and your vehicle can spin.
How does it work? ABS stands for anti-lock braking system. Anti-lock brakes are designed to prevent skidding, and four-wheel anti-lock brakes help the driver to maintain steering control during maximal braking efforts. ABS uses electronic controls and sensors to control braking force during hard braking, while the driver steps on the brakes firmly without pumping them . Maximum brake force is achieved when the tires are turning at a certain speed relative to the vehicle’s speed (i.e., when the wheels aren’t locked and skidding). ABS senses the rotation of the wheels and “pumps” the brakes for the driver, “trying” to keep the wheel speed close to the speed needed for optimal braking performance. More importantly, ABS prevents the vehicle from skidding out of control, and four-wheel ABS allows the driver to maintain the ability to steer around hazards in emergency braking situations. The big difference between driving a vehicle with ABS and driving one without ABS is that with ABS, you s
ABS is the Arch Build System. It is a ‘ports-like’ system for building and packaging software from source code. While pacman is the specialized Arch tool for binary package management, (including packages built with ABS), ABS is the specialized Arch tool for compiling source into an installable .pkg.tar.gz package.
