How to explain ESP?
1 Answers
ESP refers to the Electronic Stability Program. When tire slippage causes the vehicle's speed and direction to be uncontrollable by the driver, ESP can automatically intervene to assist the driver in maintaining control of the vehicle, ensuring driving safety. ESP is primarily composed of a control unit, steering sensor, wheel speed sensor, slip angle sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, etc. It effectively improves the vehicle's driving stability and safety under dynamic conditions such as braking, acceleration, and steering. The function of ESP is based on the premise that under certain road conditions and vehicle load conditions, the adhesion force that the wheels can provide is a fixed value. In extreme situations, the longitudinal and lateral forces acting on the wheels have an inverse relationship. The Electronic Stability Program can independently control the longitudinal braking force of each wheel, thereby influencing the lateral force and enhancing the vehicle's handling performance.
