Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is a safety system for commercial vehicles which extends WABCO EBS to allow the system to automatically intervene in situations where vehicle stability enters a critical area. This is an important contribution to commercial vehicle safety in growing traffic density and related road hazards. Within physical limits, ESC operates automatically and intervenes in both the drive train and the brake to support the truck or bus driver, who might not otherwise be able to safely steer or brake his vehicle. WABCO's ESC is state-of-the-art, alongside EBS, or ABS/ ASR. WABCO continues to innovate systems which – linked to dynamic navigation, driving dynamics and cruise control systems – will help to further revolutionize long-distance road transportation.
Features
- Electronic Braking System (EBS) extension
- Driver assist in critical driving situations
- ESC are active on high µ (RSC) and low µ (Yaw Rate) road conditions
- Improve direction stability, special under dynamic manoeuvres
- Reduction needed while under critical understeering and oversteering situations
Benefits
- Increased protection against roll-over, skidding, spinning and jack-knifing
- Available independent of driving condition, road surface and load condition
- Stabilizes the vehicle by selective braking on each wheel and integration of the endurance brakes
Application
- Trucks: heavy, medium light
- Buses
Market availability: Asia, Europe, North America
