Abstract

Antilock braking systems (ABS) is implemented in automobiles to ensure optimal vehicle control and minimal stopping distances during hard emergency braking. In contrast with the threshold braking and locked wheels, ABS is not the fastest method of slowing down besides ABS increased stopping distances over loose gravel. The concept of Gear Brake Systems (GBS) was developed to encounter these problems by providing low speed and high torque reversal rotational gear. This is done via additional these GBS into rear housing of conventional manual transmission of a vehicle. An ABS is interconnected into these GBS to serve as activation switch by providing signal when an emergency panic stopped attempted is detected. Besides that ABS provide GBS with initial speed reduction which reduced the amount of torque required to completely stop the vehicle.
