What is the difference between ABS and Traction Control Brakes?
Anti Lock Brakes (ABS) are electronic systems that measures the wheels speed and registers when the wheel has stopped rotating. The computer then allows the brakes to lock and unlock numerous times per second to help prevent the wheels from locking up. Antilock brakes and Traction Control Brakes both rely on the coefficients of friction to allow the wheels to rotate for additional control. It needs to be emphasized that ABS still lets your wheels lock, ABS only works at particular speeds and after the wheels has experienced total lock up. Traction Control Brakes are an all mechanical system that works every time you brake by helping you modulate your brakes for optimum performance and a feel of total control in your braking.
