What is the full name of ESC?
1 Answers
ESC stands for Electronic-Stability-Controller (Electronic Stability Control System), which is an active safety technology that assists drivers in controlling vehicles. It is also a further extension of the functions of the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Traction Control System (TCS). Below is relevant information about ESC: 1. Function: ESC primarily controls the longitudinal and lateral stability of the vehicle to ensure stable driving. For example, when a car oversteers while turning left on a slippery road (the tail swings to the right due to too sharp a turn), ESC will quickly brake the right front wheel to restore traction, generating an opposite torque to keep the car in its original lane. 2. Composition: It consists of three main parts: sensors, an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), and actuators. The ECU monitors the vehicle's operating status and intervenes to control the engine and braking system.
