What is Automotive Traction?
1 Answers
Automotive traction refers to the force generated by the friction between the wheels and the ground that propels the vehicle forward, also known as the driving force. Functions of Automotive Traction: The role of automotive traction is to prevent the spinning of drive wheels when driving on slippery surfaces like snow or wet roads, as well as to avoid wheel slippage during vehicle startup and acceleration. It involves brake torque control and engine torque control. Working Principle of Automotive Traction: The system uses a computer to monitor the speed of all four wheels and the steering angle of the steering wheel. When acceleration is detected and the speed difference between the drive wheels and non-drive wheels is too large, the computer immediately determines that the driving force is excessive and sends a signal to reduce the engine's fuel supply, thereby decreasing the driving force and reducing the slip rate of the drive wheels.
