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
You answered correctly. An automatic load-dependent braking-force regulator (ALB) automatically adjusts the braking force according to the load on the vehicle’s axles. This means that if the vehicle is heavier, the braking system increases the braking force to ensure safe and effective braking. If the vehicle is lighter, it reduces the braking force to prevent the wheels from locking up. This system is important for vehicles like trucks or vans that can have very different loads. ALB is not the same as ABS (which prevents wheel lockup) or traction control (which prevents wheelspin when starting off). Remember: ALB only deals with adjusting braking force based on load.
