How Electronic Stability

Control Will Help You?

Wheel speed sensors

A control module

A steering angle sensors

A yaw rate sensors

An accelerometer

A hydraulic modulator

How the system works???

Yaw rate sensor determines where the car is exactly pointing

The steering angle sensor determines where the car front wheels are pointing

The accelerometer detects if the vehicle is sliding

The wheel speed sensor monitors the speed of the wheels

The control module helps in detecting the discrepancy between the intended path & the actual path

The control module communicates with the steering angle sensor & the yaw rate sensor to monitor the discrepancy.

In case of over-steer situation, the control module would apply braking to the front outside wheel to keep the vehicle under control

A hydraulic unit increases braking or decreases wheel speed

Benefits:

Reduces crash risk

Calculate the speed of the tires

Restore the stability of your vehicle

Control the vehicle by reducing engine

power

Does it have any side effects?

Behavioral adaptation:

It means the driver may get addicted to this

system and in result he may drive more

recklessly and with greater risk taking.
