附录A 外文文献 As one kind of automobile electro-technology, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) improves automobiles passablility, steering stability and initiative security by a long way on all types of adhesion road. Anti-lock braking systems were first developed for aircraft use in 1929, by the French automobile and aircraft pioneer, Gabriel Voisin, as threshold braking on airplanes is nearly impossible. An early system was Dunlops Maxaret system, introduced in the 1950s and still in use on some aircraft models. These systems used a flywheel and valve attached to the hydraulic line that fed the brake cylinders. The flywheel was attached to a drum that ran at the same speed as the wheel. In normal braking the drum and flywheel would spin at the same speed. If the wheel slowed suddenly the drum would do the same, leaving the flywheel spinning at a faster rate. This caused the valve to open, allowing a small amount of brake fluid to bypass the master cylinder into a local reservoir, lowering the pressure on the cylinder and releasing the brakes. The use of the drum and flywheel meant the valve only opened when the wheel was turning. In testing, a 30% improvement in braking performance was noted, because the pilots immediately applied full brakes instead of slowly increasing pressure in order to find the skid point. An additional benefit was the elimination of burned or burst tires. Anti-lock Braking System(ABS) is an important device to improve the activesafety of vehicle.With the development of automotive today，its significance hasbeen regarding more than ever.Anti-lock braking system (ABS) is braking-system closed-loop control device which prevent wheel lock when braking and,as a result，retain the vehicle steerability and stability．The main components of ABS including：hydraulic modulator，wheel speed sensor，and ECU which used toprocessing signal and controlling actuators. Firstly，the paper introduces the history and basic function of the anti-lockbraking system and the whole
