Traction Control is not ABS.

Traction Control is achieved by lowering engine torque wheel slippage under acceleration, so the traction is safely maintained.

This type of system/similar has been tested before (Motorcycle Consumer News, Motorcyclist) and was shown to be useless.

The best way to brake safely is to practice, practice, practice.
Braking traction is to use both brakes in conjuction within the limits of tire adhesion.
