Electronic Braking System (EBS), as the name suggests work with electronic signals. These electrical signal then is transmitted to the central module. According to the vehicle’s load situation, the system calculates the appropriate pressures for the individual brake cylinders, causing deceleration of the vehicle. The valves on the brake cylinders generate the required braking pressure according to the control signals.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking up during heavy and sudden braking, avoiding uncontrolled skidding. ABS utilizes wheel speed sensors to determine if one or more wheels are trying to lock up during braking. If a wheel tries to lock up, a series of hydraulic valves limit or reduce the braking on that wheel. This prevents skidding and allows to maintain steering control.
