ABS & EBD : Nowadays technology is growing so fast that car companies are also making their vehicles very advanced. But this advanced technology is not just for show, but also for your safety. Every year lakhs of road accidents happen in India, and thousands of people lose their lives in them. This is very sad.
That is why car companies are now providing such features that can reduce accidents. In today’s vehicles, you are getting safety features like Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD). But do you know what these features are and how they work? If not, then today we will tell you everything about both of them. This information is very important for you, because it can save your life. So let’s know about these safety features.
What is Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)?
The full form of EBD is Electronic Brake Force Distribution. This is a system installed in vehicles which gives different brake power to each wheel according to the road and vehicle condition. Understand it in simple language. Suppose, if you suddenly apply brakes, the weight of the vehicle shifts forward. Or if you are turning the vehicle at a turn, then the vehicle tilts to one side. In such a situation, the EBD system applies brakes to each wheel separately. The wheel which has more load, gets less brakes, and the one which has less load, gets more brakes. This keeps the vehicle balanced and prevents it from slipping. If there is no EBD system in vehicles, then the vehicle can go out of control on applying brakes and an accident can happen. That is why companies are providing EBD system in vehicles nowadays, so that you remain safe.
What is Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)?
The full form of ABS is Anti-Lock Braking System. Its job is to control the brakes of the vehicle and keep the control of the vehicle in your hands. Let’s understand this in a simpler way. Suppose, you are driving at a speed of 70-80 kmph, and suddenly an animal comes in front of you. In such a situation, when you apply the brakes hard, the ABS system works. ABS prevents the tyres from locking. Tire locking means that the wheels stop rotating and start slipping. ABS prevents the tyres from locking and allows you to brake intermittently, which keeps the vehicle under control and you can also turn the vehicle. If there is no ABS, then applying strong brakes will lock the tyres, the vehicle will slip and a major accident can happen. Therefore, ABS is a very important safety feature that can save your life.
Fact-check
The information given in this article is based on the working principle of ABS and EBD systems and vehicle safety standards. Both ABS and EBD are important safety systems in modern vehicles that improve braking performance and reduce the risk of accidents. This information is verified by automobile engineering and safety experts.
