Anti-Lock Braking System Trainer
This Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) Trainer is designed to demonstrate the theory and operational characteristics of today's modern braking systems, which feature computer controlled anti-locking or skid-control systems. Many ABS systems of various types are being included on newer vehicles as it greatly improves the control of the driver during braking. For this reason it has become a major safety device in the prevention of accidents and collisions.
The ABS trainers have been designed with the cooperation of the Robert Bosch company which is the leading manufacturer of ABS systems. The trainer has been developed not only to be just a simulator but the ABS system is fully functional, featuring a real ABS unit and real brake systems which makes it ideal for student observation, experimentation and also trouble shooting. Different friction values may be set for each wheel to simulate variable road conditions. Control of the braking action maybe observed with either the ABS unit on or off.
