Traction Control
It stops wheel spin by reducing
engine power or temporarily
applying the brakes to that wheel
It also allows the car to accelerate smoothly, even on slippery surfaces
TYPES OF TRACTION
Brakes slow down a car by using traction which causes friction in the braking system.
Traction results when the caliper presses against the piston
That causes the piston to press against the brake pads that add friction to the wheel, causing the wheel to slow down or stop
The stopped wheel no longer produces the kinetic energy that propels the car
forward
The tire provides traction on the road, which slows the momentum of the car
It prevents the brakes from applying traction to the tires to the extent that the tires stop spinning.
And 2nd…Traction can be controlled by getting better tires that dig into the ground more, which is especially helpful in winter conditions
When tires slip, there are often differences in the rate at which they slip, which can cause the driver to lose steering control of the vehicle.
Stopping On Ice
An ABS prevents lock-ups and skidding in slippery conditions. Anti-lock brakes have been proven to save lives in some situations by helping drivers keep control on vehicle

Higher Resale Value
As a feature on a car or truck, an ABS raises the market value of
the vehicle. Nowadays, where ABS technology has become standard
on many vehicles, not having it could result in a lower price for
resale
Traction Control
Anti-lock brakes are made to provide
for surer braking in slippery conditions.
However, some drivers report that they
find stopping distances for regular
conditions are lengthened by their
ABS.
It's easy to cause a problem in an ABS by messing around with the brakes. Problems include disorientation of the ABS, where a compensating brake sensor causes the
vehicle to shudder, make loud noise or generally brake worse.

In the last, actuators releases the brakes until you slow down safely.
STEP-3
If your car doesn't have an anti-lock braking system, your easiest solution would probably be to go to a manufacturer's dealership.
Their mechanics are most familiar with your car model and what is needed to install anti-lock brakes.
In any circumstance, because an anti-lock system must be integrated with your car's current braking system, the installation will not be cheap. However, the benefits of such an upgrade can be priceless
