The New Four-Wheel Anti-Lock Generation: A Compact Anti-Lock and Booster Aggregate and an Advanced Electronic Safety Concept

Abstract

An overview is given on hydraulic anti-lock systems with direrent pedal characteristics, power supply concepts, and physical configurations suitable for ‘add-on’ installation or functional integration. The integrated Teves anti-skid system is presented with special attention to a three-circuit configuration including ‘dynamic’ brake circuits. Different safety levels of electronic concepts compared to the advanced Teves approach, and the application of microprocessors are discussed.
