Anti-lock Brake System

[gorain]

Can we use the electronic ABS in FS UK.What is the meaning of brake by wire system? Is there any mechanical ABS in the market?

[Thrainer]

What do you mean by "electronic ABS"? When switched off, your car must be able to pass the brake test. This is possible with the Bosch motorsport ABS.

[gorain]

what is the advantages of using ABS?

[Zac]

it adds much needed complexity to an otherwise boring hydraulic system.

[Ben Coburn]

It compensates for the inevitable fact that your drivers are terrible.

(don't actually do any work on ABS unless your car is already driving and it's 6 months before the competition, something else is more worth the time.)

[gorain]

Should we use ABS or not??

[Canuck Racing]

If you're asking that question...

No. You're going to be having far bigger problems in a few months.

Use 4 brake pedals instead, and let the driver bias the brakes dynamically in real time. Or make a mechanical ABS system that runs on counterweights, hypoid gears, and linkages. That will totally get you the innovation points.

I know a couple teams would be totally jealous of a Steam Punk ABS. But if you decide you need to use some kind of an ECU, at least use Vacuum tubes. Transistors are for wimps.
