What is the Function of Vehicle Stability Control?
1 Answers
Vehicle stability control serves to enhance the vehicle's handling safety coefficient and driving convenience. In emergency situations such as sharp turns, sudden acceleration, or hard braking, the system can quickly detect and implement corresponding braking measures, such as individually controlling each tire while reducing engine output to maintain vehicle stability. Stability control systems evolved from other technologies, such as ABS and traction control systems, which must detect whether wheels are about to lock up and individually adjust braking force when operational. The stability control system utilizes this technology along with its sensors and computational control unit. The control unit continuously monitors and processes signals from the steering system, wheels, and vehicle body sensors to determine if the vehicle is skidding during cornering. If skidding is detected, the control unit applies slight braking to the necessary wheels to help stabilize the vehicle's movement.
