Anti-lock brake system or ABS means a portion of a service brake system that automatically controls the degree of rotational wheel slip during braking by: Â
|
(1)
|
Sensing the rate of angular rotation of the wheels;
|
(2)
|
Transmitting signals regarding the rate of wheel angular rotation to one or more controlling devices which interpret those signals and generate responsive controlling output signals; and
|
(3)
|
Transmitting those controlling signals to one or more modulators which adjust brake actuating forces in response to those signals.
