Abstract

The effect of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) on braking distance and traffic stability under mountainous conditions is investigated. Based on theoretical analysis, mathematical modeling, and experimental studies, it is shown that the efficiency of ABS operation is mainly determined by the longitudinal road gradient and the type of road surface. The performed calculations are representative of and characterize the mountainous conditions of the Republic of Armenia. Diagrams illustrating the relationship between the tire–road adhesion coefficient, relative slip, and braking distance are presented. It is demonstrated that, under varying adhesion conditions on uphill and downhill road sections, the use of ABS provides a significant improvement in traffic safety and vehicle stability.
