Brakes are crucial for slowing down or stopping your car. Here’s how they work in traditional and ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) setups:

⸻

???? 1. Traditional Braking System (Non-ABS)

???? How it works:
1. You press the brake pedal.
2. This activates the master cylinder, which sends hydraulic fluid through brake lines.
3. The fluid applies pressure to brake calipers or drums.
4. Calipers press brake pads against discs (rotors) (or shoes against drums), creating friction.
5. Friction slows down the wheels, and the car stops.

❌ Problem:
• If you brake hard, the wheels can lock up, causing skidding and loss of control, especially on wet or icy roads.

⸻

????️ 2. ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)

???? How it works:
1. Uses the same hydraulic setup as traditional brakes.
2. But adds:
• Wheel speed sensors (to monitor rotation),
• Electronic Control Unit (ECU) (to detect wheel lock-up),
• Hydraulic modulator (to pulse brake pressure).
3. When the system detects a wheel is about to lock:
• It rapidly pulses brake pressure (~15 times/sec).
• This prevents locking and maintains steering control.

✅ Advantage:
• Reduces stopping distance in many conditions.
• Maintains traction and control while braking hard.
