What is understood by a braking system with an automatic load-dependent braking-force regulator (ALB)?
The braking force is automatically regulated according to the load on the axles
When fully braking on a slippery roadway, locking of the wheels is automatically prevented
On setting off, wheelspin is prevented
Here is Our AI Assistant's Explanation
The automatic load-dependent braking-force regulator (ALB) adjusts the braking force on each axle based on how much load is on that axle. This ensures that the wheels have optimal grip during braking, preventing them from locking up due to too much braking force on lightly loaded axles. It helps maintain vehicle stability and shorter stopping distances, especially when the vehicle is carrying varying loads. This system does not prevent wheel locking on slippery roads—that is the function of ABS (anti-lock braking system)—nor does it prevent wheelspin during acceleration.
