•Some of the big advancement in
Automotive Industry in last 10years
have come in a area of SAFETY.
4. In addition to Telematics based Services like
• Digital Satellite Radio
•In car E-mail
•GPS systems
Recent Advancement in Braking Technology have led to
•Shorter stopping distance
•Increased Control in PANIC situation
•More control on CURVED turns
8. Effectiveness
This system has proven its effectiveness
• In frontal crashes reduction in d rivers death reduced by nearly
14%
•Passenger side airbags reducing death by nearly 11%
•NHTSA estimated reduction in risk by nearly 85% with the
combination of seat belt and airbags compared than only seatbelt

16. Advantages:
Achives the Shortest Stopping distance
Better chance on Steering around obstacle
Reduced risk of skidding
Disadvantages:
Precautions should be taken while
driving
Proved less effective on gravel road or
road compacted by snow

18. Mainly the system has to control some
or all conditions
Retard or Suppress the spark to one or more
cylinders
Retard fuel supply to one or main cylinder
Break one or more wheel
Close the throttle, if the vehicle is fitted by
wire throttle
20. MainMain componentscomponents of the systemof the system
A) active wheel speed sensors;
B) steering angle sensor;
C) Yaw rate sensor
D) attached electronic control unit (ECU)
E) motor;
F) pressure sensor,
G) hydraulic unit.
22. Some important ECS definitions
• ESC augments vehicle directional stability by
applying and adjusting the vehicle brakes individually
to induce correcting yaw torques to the vehicle.
• ESC is a computer-controlled system, which uses a
close-loop algorithm to limit under steer and over steer
of the vehicle when appropriate
