Antilock Systems for Air-Braked Vehicles

A Diagnostic System for Air Brakes in Commercial Vehicles

“…The above discussion presented a brief description of a few critical components of the air brake system currently used in commercial vehicles. For a more detailed description, the interested reader is referred to [39], [44] and [45]. A list of components of the pneumatic subsystem and the mechanical subsystem is presented in Table I and Table II respectively.…”

“…The main components of an ABS used in commercial vehicle include wheel speed sensors, an electronic control unit to process the information from these sensors and modulator valves that regulate the pressure in the brake chamber in the event of an impending wheel lock up [39]. Detailed descriptions of ABS and various layouts of the same can be found in [39], [44], [47], [48].…”
