Electronic Stability Program (ESP)



Cars with an anti-lock system can also be equipped with an electronic stabilization system.

Through stabilization system exercises control over the dynamics of the car in extreme conditions, such as overcoming the turns at high speed. The danger of demolition and skidding car significantly reduces smiling under all possible road conditions.

Normally, stabilization is always on. Only in certain exceptional cases where the desired wheel slip preferably turn off the system.

Action Electronic Stability

The electronic stabilization system integrated anti-lock and traction control both. In addition to the information that is needed for these systems to the control unit electronic stabilization system, additional data are supplied by highly sensitive sensors. Measured speed of the body about the vertical axis of the vehicle, the amount of acceleration in the transverse plane, the pressure in the brake actuator and the steering angle.

Based on the angle the steering and the vehicle speed is determined by the direction in which the driver of the car is going to move, and it is constantly compared with the actual behavior of the vehicle. When inconsistency of these factors when starting the demolition or skid car, the system automatically brakes the stabilization of certain wheel.

By means of the forces which occur when the desired wheel braking, the vehicle is returned to a state of dynamic stability. When the car oversteer (tendency to drift back of the car) to slow down the impact applied to the front, with respect to the outer turn of the wheel, with understeer (tendency to demolish the front of the car turning outwards) slows down the inside rear wheel.
