I have an engineering report on an innovation in braking systems. Can u also please tell me if ABS braking systems are an innovation in braking systems? And also, what materials are used to manufacture them and wat are the disadvantages and advantages of using them.thank u so much!
You have above an explanation of what ABS brake systems are. They were developed as an attempt to "idiot proof" automotive braking. Lots of accidents happen because drivers brake too hard, locking the wheels (especially the front wheels) in an emergency. Wet or slippery road coditions are other areas where the technology can help. In a sense, therefore, they are innovative. They provide a further addition to road safety. They are an electronically controlled hydraulic system. Disadvantages? More complications for cars, more things to go wrong, could result in causing accident. Can actually extend a braking distance, resulting in accident, sometimes. Advantages? The idiot proofing, and probably lots more sensible than electric windows, heated seats, and all the other unnecessary paraphanalia a modern car is fitted with, in order to gain sales. The materials used are based on time proven braking system componentry, with electronic complications.
