The electronic traction control system in modern cars is designed to ensure safe driving. How does it work?
Instructions
Step 1
Automotive traction control (PBS) system on different vehicles can be called differently, for example, Dynamic Stability Control (DTC), or Dynamic Stability Control (DSC). In any case, they are one and the same system.
Step 2
Its essence is as follows - on each wheel of the car there are sensors that determine the speed of its rotation. This data is used by the PBS, which monitors the advance of the speed of rotation of any wheel by the others. If there is a lead, then the computer activates one of several programs included in the system. The choice of action depends on the situation, but more often the system begins to brake the wheels to improve their grip.
Step 3
PBS is autonomous, that is, it works without driver intervention, automatically responding to sensor readings and interfering with control. Thanks to the indicator light, the driver can monitor the operation of the system.
Step 4
The main situations in which this system can help the driver maintain control of the car are the presence of ice, snow and mud on the road, as well as starting uphill. It also provides almost full power transfer to the wheels at low speed.
