Electronic stability control
Electronic stability control (ESC) systems enhance safety by reducing braking distance and keeping the vehicle under control in critical situations.
Stability control is essential to safely control a vehicle under different conditions. ESC systems use sensors to detect mismatches between vehicle trajectory, driver intent, vehicle speed and wheel speed, to conditionally apply braking force on different wheels to help realign the vehicle's trajectory. What you need are standard devices engineered to uphold your application’s high-safety requirements while remaining cost-efficient.
Enhanced safety with brake stability control systems
ESC is a safety feature that help drivers maintain control of their vehicles in slippery or difficult driving conditions. It works by using sensors to monitor the vehicle's speed, steering angle, and yaw rate. If the ESC system detects that the vehicle is starting to lose control, it will automatically apply the brakes or reduce engine power to help the driver regain control, which has been shown to be very effective in preventing accidents.
Some of the benefits of ESC include:
- Reduced risk of accidents and rollovers
- Improved handling in slippery conditions
- Increased driver confidence
- Reduced insurance premiums
- Scalability and interoperability
- Highest design flexibility
- Single source of chipset solution
- Adaptability via software OTA
- Easy design-in; fast time to market
- Dependable quality and performance
