ESP SYSTEM
▶When applied ABS (increased pressure)
The shuttle valve and inlet valve will be open and the separation valve and outlet valve will be 
closed. Then, the pump is operated.
When ESP operates while the ABS is operating, the pressure will be increased continuously 
until just before the corresponding wheel gets locked.

▶Hydraulic Diagram of HBA
The above figure shows one front and one rear wheel and the same hydraulic circuit forms as 
in the ESP operation.
When HECU recognizes that it is an emergency and it is required for hard braking, depending 
on the pressure value of the brake pressure sensor and pressure changes caused by the 
pressure sensor timing, it operates the pump immediately to apply the brake pressure at the 
wheels.
Then, the pressure in the pump increases until just before the corresponding wheel gets locked. 
The motor still keeps rotating and the outlet valve and the separation valve are will stay closed. 
When the wheel starts to lock, the HBA function cancels and switches to ABS operation.

2. GENERAL INFORMATION
The aim of the ABS is to mmaintain steerability and driving stability and to take the burden off 
the driver. If the stopping distance is shorter on some road surfaces (carriageway conditions), 
this is a gift of physics and not a development aim.
ABS is a device which senses that one or more of the wheels are locking up during braking. It 
monitors the rotational speeds of the wheels and reduces hydraulic pressure to any wheel it 
senses locking up. It is controlled by both mechanical and electronic components. When you
apply the brakes, the ABS will regulate the flow of brake fluid being delivered to the brake 
calipers. By the use of electronic computers, the brakes rapidly alternate (at a rate of 30 times 
per second) from full pressure to full release.
1) DRIVING PHYSICS
To give you a better understanding of the tasks and functions of ABS, we will first look at the 
physics principles.
(1) The Stopping Distance
The stopping distance depends on the vehicle weight and initial speed when braking starts. 
This also applies for vehicle with ABS, where ABS always tries to set an optimum brake force 
on each wheel. As great forces are exerted between the tires and the carriageway when 
braking, even with ABS the wheels may scream and rubber is left on the road. With an 
ABS
skid mark one may be able to clearly recognize the tire profile. The skid mark of an ABS vehicle 
does not however leave any hint of the speed of the vehicle in the case of an accident, as it can 
only be clearly drawn at the start of braking.
(2) Brake Force on a Wheel
The maximum possible brake force on a wheel depends on the wheel load and the adhesion 
coefficient between tire and carriageway. With a low adhesion coefficient the brake force, which 
can be obtained is very low. You are bound to know the result already from driving on winte
r 
roads. With a high adhesion coefficient on a dry road, the brake force, which can be obtained, 
is considerably higher. The brake force, which can be obtained, can be calculated from below 
formula:

FBmax = Vehicle Weight x Adhesion 
coefficientmh
The braking process cannot be described 
sufficiently accurately with the brake forces 
calculated. The values calculated only apply 
if the wheel is not locked. In the case of a 
locking wheel, the static friction turns into 
lower sliding friction, with the result that the 
stopping distance is increased. This loss of
friction is termed “slip” in specialist 
literature.
Slip ▶
The brake slip is the difference between the vehicle speed and the wheel circumference speed. 
If the wheel locks, the slip is greatest, that is 100 %. If the wheel is running freely and unbraked, 
the slip is the lowest, equal to 0 %. Slip can be calculated from the vehicle speed Vveh and the 
wheel speed Vw. The equation for this is:
S =                       X 100 %
Vveh = 100 km/h, Vw = 70 km/h
S =                       X 100 %
The slip is 30 %.

Typical slip curves ▶
For the various carriageway conditions the 
adhesion coefficients were plotted. The 
typical course of the curves is always the 
same. The only special feature is shown by
the curve for freshly fallen snow, for this 
curve increases at 100 % slip. In a vehicle 
without ABS, the wheel locks on braking and
therefore pushes a wedge before it. This 
wedge of loose surface or freshly fallen 
snow means and increased resistance and 
as a result the stopping distance is shorter. 
This reduction in stopping distance is not 
possible with a vehicle with ABS, as the 
wheel does not lock. On these surfaces the 
stopping distance with ABS is longer than 
without ABS. The reason for this is based in 
physics and not in the Anti-Lock System. 
However, as mentioned before, ABS is not 
about the stopping distance, but 
maneuverability and driving stability, for with 
ABS you can steer round an obstacle. 
A
device with locking wheels without ABS
cannot be steered. So what use then is the 
shorter stopping distance if the vehicle has 
already hit the car in front, because you did 
not have a chance to steer round the 
obstacle?

Kamm circle ▶
Before we go into the Kamm circle, you
should know that a tire offers a maximum o
f 
100 % transmissibility. It is all the same fo
r 
the tire whether we require 100 % in the 
direction of braking or in the direction of the 
acting lateral force, e.g. when driving round 
curves. If we drive into a curve too fast and 
the tire requires 100 % transmissibility as 
cornering force, the tire cannot transmit any
additional brake force. In spite of the ABS
the car is carried out of the curve. The 
relationship between brake force B and 
cornering force S is shown very clearly in
the Kamm circle. If we put a vehicle wheel in 
this circle, the relationship becomes even 
clearer. In this relationship: as long as the 
acting forces and the resulting force remain 
within the circle, the vehicle is stable to 
drive. If a force exceeds the circle, the 
vehicle leaves the road.

ABS SYSTEM
Brake force
When depressing the brake pedal the 
brake force increases to the maximum,
then the brake force decreases until the
wheel locks.
Cornering force
The cornering force is a maximum when 
the wheel is turning freely with zero slip. 
When braking the cornering force falls to 
zero if the wheel locks (slip 100 %).
ABS operating range
The operating range starts just before the 
maximum brake force and ends in 
maximum, for the unstable range then
begins, in which no further modulation is 
possible. The ABS controls the regulation 
of the brake pressure so that the brake 
force only becomes great enough for a 
sufficient proportion of cornering force to 
remain. With ABS we remain in the 
Kamm circle as long as the car is driving
sensibly. We will leave driving physics 
with these statements and turn to the 
braking systems with and without ABS. -
