The paper discusses a design expertise for active safety systems with reference to the two-wheeled vehicles. The special emphasis is placed on various approaches to the anti-lock braking systems.

Taking into account the specificity of motorcycles, scooters and other two-wheeled vehicles, the variants of single and double-channel braking control are examined.

Approbation of developed control strategy has been performed through simulation with AMESim software. This allowed to consider the very important factors like hysteresis losses in brake gears and response time of brake drive. In accordance with results of virtual testing, the paper proposes an evaluation of pre-extreme algorithms for motorcycle anti-lock braking systems.
