2) Basic Theory of ABS Function
To give you a better understanding of the tasks and functions of ABS, we will first look at the physics
principles.
(1) Stopping distance
The stopping distance depends on the vehicle weight and initial speed when braking starts. This also
applies for vehicle with ABS, where ABS always tries to set an optimum brake force on each wheel. As
great forces are exerted between the tires and the carriageway when braking, even with ABS the wheels
may scream and rubber is left on the road. With an ABS skid mark one may be able to clearly recognize
the tire profile. The skid mark of an ABS vehicle does not however leave any hint of the speed of the
vehicle in the case of an accident, as it can only be clearly drawn at the start of braking.
(2) Brake force on a wheel
The maximum possible brake force on a wheel depends on the wheel load and the adhesion coefficient
between tire and carriageway. With a low adhesion coefficient the brake force, which can be obtained is
very low. You are bound to know the result already from driving on winter roads. With a high adhesion
coefficient on a dry road, the brake force, which can be obtained, is considerably higher. The brake
force, which can be obtained, can be calculated from below formula:
Maximum brake force
▶
FBmax = wheel load FR x coefficient of frictionMh
The braking process cannot be described sufficiently
accurately with the brake forces calculated. The
values calculated only apply if the wheel is not locked.
In the case of a locking wheel, the static friction turns
into lower sliding friction, with the result that the
stopping distance is increased. This loss of friction is
termed "slip" in specialist literature.

Slip
▶
The brake slip is the difference between the vehicle speed and the wheel circumference speed. If the
wheel locks, the slip is greatest, that is 100 %. If the wheel is running freely and un-braked, the slip is the
lowest, equal to 0 %. Slip can be calculated from the vehicle speed Vveh and the wheel speed Vw. The
equation for this is:
Vveh = 100 km/h, Vw = 70 km/h
Slip ratio (S) =
For the various road conditions, the friction
coefficients were plotted. The typical course of
the curves is always the same. The only special
feature is shown by the curve for freshly fallen
snow, for this curve increases at 100 % slip. In a
vehicle without ABS, the wheel locks on braking
and therefore pushes a wedge before it. This
wedge of loose surface or freshly fallen snow
means and increased resistance and as a result
the stopping distance is shorter. This reduction in
stopping distance is not possible with a vehicle
with ABS, as the wheel does not lock. On these
surfaces the stopping distance with ABS is
longer than without ABS. The reason for this is
based in physics and not in the Anti-Lock
System.
However, as mentioned before, ABS is not about
the stopping distance, but maneuverability and
driving stability, for the vehicle with locking
wheels without ABS cannot be steered.

KAMM circle
▶
Before we go into the Kamm circle, you should
know that a tire offers a maximum of 100 %
transmissibility. It is all the same for the tire
whether we require 100 % in the direction of
braking or in the direction of the acting lateral
force, e.g. when driving round curves. If we drive
into a curve too fast and the tire requires 100 %
transmissibility as cornering force, the tire cannot
transmit any additional brake force. In spite of the
ABS the car is carried out of the curve. The
relationship between brake force B and cornering
force S is shown very clearly in the Kamm circle. If
we put a vehicle wheel in this circle, the
relationship becomes even clearer. In this
relationship: as long as the acting forces and the
resulting force remain within the circle, the vehicle
is stable to drive. If a force exceeds the circle, the
vehicle leaves the road.
Brake force
When depressing the brake pedal the brake force
increases to the maximum, then the brake force
decreases until the wheel locks.
Cornering force
The cornering force is a maximum when the
wheel is turning freely with zero slip. When
braking the cornering force falls to zero if the
wheel locks (slip 100 %).
ABS operating range
The operating range starts just before the
maximum brake force and ends in maximum, for
the unstable range then begins, in which no
further modulation is possible. The ABS controls
the regulation of the brake pressure so that the
brake force only becomes great enough for a
sufficient proportion of cornering force to remain.
With ABS we remain in the Kamm circle as long
as the car is driving sensibly. We will leave driving
physics with these statements and turn to the
braking systems with and without ABS.
