If too much throttle is
applied during cornering, the drive wheels will lose traction and slide sideways.
Not exact matches
In soccer, the same thing usually occurs with free kicks,
corner kicks, crosses from the wings, and other kinds of passes or shots: The player kicking the ball
applies spin
during contact, creating rotation that makes the ball curve.
Spring break is just around the
corner for school boys and gals, college kids and people like me, who will use any excuse even if it doesn't technically
apply to my life to book travel
during the snoozefest that is winter.
Meanwhile, revised suspension improves handling, and a torque - vectoring front differential adapted from the Subaru WRX and WRX STI reduces understeer by
applying the brake of the inside front wheel
during fast
cornering.
Designed to make the vehicle even more agile, the system can
apply finely - metered braking to the inner wheels to mitigate understeer
during corner entry, helping the driver to keep the vehicle on the ideal line through a turn2.
By
applying braking force to the inside wheels
during cornering at high lateral G, the system creates a yaw moment, thus generating more turning force and reducing understeer.
Bentley uses them for the torque vectoring, too, gently
applying slowing the inside wheels
during cornering to avoid oversteer and tighten up the turn.
The 2011 Honda Accord is now equipped with Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) to assist the driver in maintaining control
during cornering, acceleration and sudden maneuvers by
applying braking to the right or left hand wheels as necessary and modulating the engine torque output as required.
New this year for the Crosstrek is active torque vectoring, which
applies the brakes on the inner wheel
during cornering for better twisty fun.
The system uses a brake - based torque vectoring system to
apply the brakes on the inside wheel
during cornering, tightening the
cornering lines, improving handling responses, and minimizing the effects of understeer.
A software called Agile Handling Assist works in tandem with the car's VSA system to reduce inner wheel slip by
applying light braking force
during cornering.
Adding to the fun, Active Trace Control, what Infiniti calls its
corner - braking technology,
applies brake pressure to the inside wheel
during a turn.
The EAD system automatically redistributes engine torque between the rear wheels to ensure excellent on - the - limit control, while Torque Vectoring by braking intelligently
applies precisely metered braking force to the inner wheels as necessary
during cornering to enhance agility.
In slippery conditions (such as wet or icy roads), as well as
during cornering at high lateral G, the system creates a yaw moment by
applying braking force to the inside wheel, thus generating more turning force and reducing understeer.
And
during situations such as high - speed
cornering, a vehicle could be thrown off balance if one wheel slipped and the computer
applied the brake.
This prevents the transmission from upshifting
during a
corner, which could upset the chassis balance and would then require downshifting again at the
corner exit when the throttle is
applied.
Derived from the WRX and WRX STI models, Subaru's torque vectoring system is designed to reduce understeer
during hard
cornering by strategically
applying the brakes to the inside wheels to help the vehicle tuck into the curve.
The combination of this limited slip differential and independent steering - axis front suspension minimises torque steer and enables power to be
applied earlier
during cornering.
TVC uses wheel - speed sensors coupled with ESC algorithms to
apply precise braking force to the inside front wheel
during spirited
cornering.
Porsche's torque vectoring system kicks in
during hard
cornering,
applying a smidge of brake to the inside wheel.
This prevents the transmission from upshifting
during a
corner, which could upset the chassis balance thus requiring downshifting again at the
corner exit when the throttle is
applied.
By using brake vectoring -
applying braking force to the inside wheels -
during cornering at high lateral G, the system creates a «yaw moment,» thus generating more turning force and reducing understeer.
