English term

anti-skid system

GBK English to French Tech/Engineering Automotive / Cars & Trucks
Definition from Motor Era:
(ASBS) A computer controlled automotive device which senses when one or more of the wheels are locking up during braking. It eases up on the amount of Hydraulic pressure to that wheel. It must be remembered that a wheel cannot be steered unless it is rolling; so if the wheel is locked up, there is no steering control. By the use of electronic Computers, the brakes rapidly alternate from full power to none so that both maximum braking and maximum steering control is allowed.
Example sentences:
The available adhesion values under extreme conditions are less than those defined in the UIC 541-05 document. This is why, in most cases, anti-skid systems are not designed for specified operation in conditions other than those defined in this document. (Faiveley Transport)
A car anti-skid protection system that too few Britons are using has been displayed by motor racing star Lewis Hamilton. (Skid Car System)
I’ve never heard of an “anti-skid system” failing on a plane, but it seems to be the equivalent of anti-lock brakes. (Gessel On)

Système antidérapage au Québec
Système antipatinage en France
Simon Charass Feb 10, 2011:
ABS = ABR Le freinage ABS est un système qui permet au véhicule, lors d'un freinage d'urgence, d'éviter que celui-ci ne devienne incontrôlable.
En effet lorsque vous freinez brutalement, le véhicule continu sur sa lancé et glisse.
L'ABS qui nous vient de l'anglais Antilock Break System apporte donc une solution à ce problème.
Chez certains constructeurs le système est appelé "ABR" (Anti Blocage des Roues).

J'ai l'impression que votre titre (Anti-skid system) ne correspond pas précisément à la définition qui s'ensuit: "(ASBS) A computer...".
Definition from Yo PDF:
SYSTÈME ANTI-PATINAGE. L'antipatinage réduit le patinage des roues et maintient la traction sur les roues motrices aux vitesses inférieures à 56 km/h.
Example sentences:
L'anti patinage est un système qui régule l'accélération pour limiter la perte d'adhérence des roues motrices. (Mon Garage)
Peer comment(s):
agree Gérard LAMBERT : Oui, même si le système anti-patinage concerne autant et plus un dérapage latéral en virage qu'un patinage à l'accélération.
