Choose one or multiple correct answers

A. An anti-locking device (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking irrespective of the weight and the condition of the roadway
B. An automatic load-dependent braking-force regulator (ALB) automatically adjusts the braking force to the axle load

Correct answer

A. An anti-locking device (ABS) prevents the wheels from locking irrespective of the weight and the condition of the roadway
B. An automatic load-dependent braking-force regulator (ALB) automatically adjusts the braking force to the axle load

Comment

When ABS brakes automatically preventing the wheels from locking. For ALB, the braking force of the axle load automatically adjusts. Automatically adjusting the braking force at the road condition is irrelevant.
