"Anti-Lock" brake systems release the brakes momentarily when wheel speed sensors indicate a locked wheel during braking and traction.
Step-by-step explanation:
The safety anti-skid braking system is known as "anti-lock braking system" having huge application on land vehicles like one, two and multiple wheeler vehicles and aircraft. During braking, it avoids wheels to get locked by building tractive contacts to the road's surface.
This seems to be an automated system work on the principles of techniques - threshold and cadence braking. The wheel velocity sensors are utilized by ABS to find whether one or more than one wheels chose to get lock while braking.
