What is the purpose of the vehicle stability system?
1 Answers
The function of the vehicle stability system is to prevent skidding and loss of control when the vehicle is cornering at high speed and the front or rear wheels, which have driving and steering functions, slip. The ESP (Electronic Stability Program) achieves this by automatically braking other wheels and intervening in the engine management system. The vehicle stability system is a very important active safety feature in automobiles. It includes the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and the traction control system (TCS), extending the functionality of these two systems. Therefore, the vehicle stability system can be considered an advanced form of current automotive anti-skid devices. The vehicle stability system consists of a control unit and sensors such as steering sensors, wheel sensors, skid sensors, and lateral acceleration sensors.
