Traction control systems help prevent wheel slippage and maintain traction under acceleration. The document discusses the history of traction control which originated from 4-wheel drive systems and antilock braking systems. It describes different types of traction control systems including limited slip differentials and how they work. Examples are given of traction control systems used in cars, motorcycles, and race vehicles to improve safety and performance by avoiding wheel slip during acceleration and turns.
