description: An anti-lock brake system is a safety feature that protects the operator during an event of rapid braking. The system will detect the rapid decrease in wheel speed or locking with the use of a micro-processor control system. Such an ABS system will bicycle travel in the city much safer for riders of all levels. Our project will include three major components: a wheel speed sensor system, a modulation system that reduces pressure on the caliper during slipping, and an Arduino controller that facilitates communication between these two components. This intermittently reduced pressure on the caliper will prevent the wheel from locking up and thus result in a quicker and safer stop of the bike system. A reduced function mock-up system will be built for demonstration purposes.
