What does control system mean?
2 Answers
Vehicle control system refers to a system that assists drivers in operating the vehicle or replaces the driver for autonomous driving. It mainly consists of two parts: driving safety alarm systems, and driving automation and autonomous driving systems. This system can accurately determine the distance between the vehicle and obstacles through radar or infrared detectors installed at the front and sides of the car. In emergency situations, the onboard computer will promptly issue alarms or even automatically brake to avoid collisions, and adjust the vehicle speed according to road conditions, earning it the nickname "smart car". Currently, there are over 3,000 companies in the United States engaged in the research, development, and manufacturing of highly intelligent vehicles, and high-tech products such as automatic constant speed controllers and infrared intelligent navigation devices have already been introduced. Body electronic control system includes automotive safety, comfort control, and information communication systems. It is mainly used to enhance the safety, comfort, and convenience of the vehicle. Examples of features that enhance vehicle safety include: central anti-theft door locks, airbags, seat belts; while those that enhance comfort include: seat controls, adaptive air conditioning, etc.
The control system is like the super supervisor of a car. As a frequent visitor to repairs, I deal with it every day. It uses computers and sensors to continuously monitor the car's condition, such as monitoring the fuel injection system, automatically adjusting the engine's operation based on factors like speed and temperature to ensure efficient combustion and reduced emissions. Without this system, the car might not run properly, and fuel consumption could skyrocket. In terms of safety, it also manages the anti-lock braking system, for example, automatically controlling braking force on slippery roads to prevent skidding. When I usually check for faults, I use a scanner to read its data, which helps quickly locate issues like sensor failures. Overall, it makes driving smoother, more fuel-efficient, and safer, serving as the intelligent core of modern cars.
