Any control system operates to achieve the control law that it is designed to do. There are four main components that make up an ABS system - wheel speed sensors, hydraulic valves, a pump and an ABS controller. In this case the feedback comes from the wheel rotational sensors. Also the ABS controller gets the pressure signals from the braking system valves and it has a built in pre-programmed profile on how to control the braking to achieve the ideal line you talk about. The only way to achieve the ideal is by a close approximation.In modern vehicles ESP (Electronic Stability Control) works seamlessly integrated with ABS to further maintain tractive contact with the road surface by electronically controlling the front-to-rear brake bias. The ESP system, depending on the specific capabilities and implementation is also known as Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD), Traction Control System (TCS), Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Dynamic Traction Control (DTC).</blockquote>
