Hi, I am in my first year of physics and am a bit lost. I need to know how to show the effectiveness of ABS using numerical examples and the formulas used.

What have you tried so far?
 
I have no idea! we've had to do it for airbags, seatbelts, crumple zones and head restraints where I have a fair idea...I just don't know what I should be looking at with ABS.
 
ABS is a system to prevent the wheels from "locking up". What does that tell you?
