In 1958, a Royal Enfield Super Meteor motorcycle was used by the Road Research Laboratory to test the Maxaret anti-lock brake.

Upon the introduction of the Subaru Legacy in 1989, Subaru networked the four channel anti-lock brake function with the all wheel drive system so that if the car detected any wheel beginning to lock up, the variable assist all wheel drive system installed on vehicles with the automatic transmission would engage to ensure all wheels were actively gripping while the anti-lock system was attempting to stop the car.

In a Munich study, half a fleet of taxicabs was equipped with anti-lock brakes, while the other half had conventional brake systems.

Each axle was also equipped with anti-lock brake equipment.

* Electronic traction control systems usually use the anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) roadwheel speed sensors to detect a spinning roadwheel, and apply the brake to that wheel.

In addition to the available anti-lock brake system ( ABS ), a traction control system was optional as well.

ESC is built on top of an anti-lock brake ( ABS ) system, and all ESC-equipped vehicles are fitted with traction control.

Typically, traction control systems share the electro-hydraulic brake actuator ( but does not use the conventional master cylinder and servo ), and wheel speed sensors with the anti-lock braking system.

When the traction control computer ( often incorporated into another control unit, like the anti-lock braking system module ) detects one or more driven wheels spinning significantly faster than another, it invokes the ABS electronic control unit to apply brake friction to wheels spinning with lessened traction.

In the 1990s, Motorola ’ s technology was the driving force behind intelligent power switches for anti-lock brake systems, one of the first microelectromechanical systems ( MEMS ) inertial sensor for automotive airbags, and Motorola ’ s MPC5200 microprocessor deployed telematic systems for General Motors ’ OnStar systems.

The anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) monitors wheel speeds and releases pressure on individual wheel brake lines, rapidly pulsing individual brakes to prevent lock-up.

Standard equipment included electronic stability control with roll mitigation, traction control, and anti-lock brakes with brake assist.

The Tacoma comes standard with anti-lock brakes, brake assist, and electronic brakeforce distribution.

This version featured Solar Yellow brake calipers, body-color grille, solar-tinted sunscreen glass, liftgate mounted spoiler, 17-inch all-season performance tires, four-wheel anti-lock brakes with low-speed traction control, speed control, and a sport suspension.

The MSP system integrates four different vehicle systems-the anti-slip regulation traction control ( ASR ), the motor spin regulation ( MSR ), electronic brake force distribution ( EBD ), and anti-lock braking system ( ABS ).

The sensing of wheel rotation is especially useful in anti-lock braking systems.

The anti-lock brakes on a car are a simple example of a real-time computing system — the real-time constraint in this system is the time in which the brakes must be released to prevent the wheel from locking.

The experiments demonstrated that anti-lock brakes can be of great value to motorcycles, for which skidding is involved in a high proportion of accidents.

; Speed sensors: The anti-lock braking system needs some way of knowing when a wheel is about to lock up.

They are used in applications where the magnetic field strength is relatively large, such as in anti-lock braking systems in cars which sense wheel rotation speed via slots in the wheel disks.

The system itself is integrated with the anti-lock braking system as part of the activation, and can be activated manually.

A traction control system ( TCS ), also known as anti-slip regulation ( ASR ), is typically ( but not necessarily ) a secondary function of the anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) on production motor vehicles, designed to prevent loss of traction of driven road wheels.

It is worth noting that these test results were achieved in a post-2003 Tuscan S without traction-control or anti-lock brakes.

Since reliability is critically important for space travel, military purposes, anti-lock braking system, medical equipment like Automated External Defibrillators and is even important for personal computers or home entertainment systems, the reliability of chips ( ICs ) is a major focus of research efforts.

The MC12 Corsa possesses steel / carbon racing brakes, but is not fitted with an anti-lock braking system.

An anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) is a more complex example, consisting of multiple inputs, conditions and outputs.

Reflecting market priorities and price point control, some safety equipment is either unavailable or available only at extra cost on some models in some markets — including side airbags, anti-lock brakes, fog lamps and a rear center position three-point seatbelts and headrests.

The vehicle's optional active all-wheel drive system is fully incorporated with the ESC and anti-lock braking systems, consequently increasing car handling and control.

It is equipped with Dynamic Stability Control ( DSC ), 6 airbags, Electronic Brakeforce Distribution ( EBD ), 4-channel anti-lock braking system ( ABS ), Beltminder technology, a six CD player ( MP3 compatible ), FPV starter button, alloy pedal covers, and alloy wheels.

The 2005 Chairman H ( although based on the 1995 Mercedes-Benz W124 ) had a lot of electrical features for a car from that year and for a car of that price, including: heated and cooled cup holders, rear parking sensors, rain-sensing wipers, anti-lock brakes, stability and traction controls, illuminated " Chairman " signatures on the door scuff plates and the back seats are individually electrically controlled and can move backwards when the engine is turned off to improve access ; the driver's seat and the steering wheel behave in a similar way.

Second Generation FWD Vibes also offer computerized traction-control and anti-lock brakes.

The V-spec model also included a four wheel independent channel anti-lock braking system.

An anti-lock braking system ( ABS ) was also added as an option.

Troféo also received standard anti-lock brakes and a new steering wheel that featured buttons for radio and climate controls.

The 6. 9 also has the distinction of being among the first vehicles ever produced with optional electronically controlled anti-lock brakes, first introduced by Mercedes-Benz and Bosch in 1978.

The Z24 trim also received several other upgrades including a wider front sway bar and FE2 Sports Suspension for better handling characteristics, and less aggressive ABS anti-lock braking system.

At the time it was hailed as a remarkable development, coming also with Dunlop Maxarat mechanical anti-lock brakes and traction control.

Equipment levels were also high, with all models getting air conditioning, CD player, electric windows, 8 airbags, anti-lock braking system, tire-pressure monitor and central locking as standard.
