Sentences with phrase «axle kinematics»
Axle kinematics refers to the way an axle moves and functions in a vehicle. It involves the study of how the axle moves and interacts with other parts in order to control the vehicle's steering, suspension, and overall stability. Full definition
Whereas the earlier Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Automatic Stability Control (ASC) and Automatic Stability Control Plus Traction (ASC+T) improve longitudinal stability during braking and acceleration, the Active Rear Axle Kinematics system improves lateral stability in high - speed maneuvers.
