Sentences with phrase «yaw stability»

However, in FMVSS No. 126, NHTSA stated that the maneuver was only used to test yaw stability, not roll stability.

As we stated in the NPRM, the low speed thresholds of ESC systems were 10 km / h (6.2 mph) for yaw stability control and 20 km / h (12.4 mph) for roll stability control.

On a heavy vehicle, however, the roll stability threshold is lower than the yaw stability threshold in most operating conditions, primarily because of its higher center - of - gravity height.

The agency's research initially focused on a variety of maneuvers that we could use to evaluate the roll stability performance and the yaw stability performance of truck tractors and large buses.

The agency's test program was able to develop test parameters for the SWD maneuver so that both roll stability and yaw stability could be evaluated using a single loading condition and test maneuver.

Not exact matches

The model will also be available with a 2.2 - liter turbodiesel engine that is offered in combination with an eight - speed automatic transmission, although it's unclear if this combination will come to the U.S. Power output is unknown, but we do know the model comes with standard all - wheel drive that incorporates active yaw control for enhanced stability.

This means the Ridgeline can add torque to the outside rear wheel in cornering to enhance rotation or to the inside rear wheel when changing lanes at freeway speeds to reduce yaw and enhance stability.

I have understood that stability control uses sensors that ABS does not have: yaw / roll rate, acceleration, steering wheel sensors etc..

The best racetrack mix is the differential in «auto minus» for smooth roads; the throttle left in «intelligent» mode, allowing the least jerky modulation of the accelerator; and the traction / stability control in track mode, which allows plenty of yaw and still gives you active torque vectoring.

The sporty tune used for the Macan GTS» stability control system allows for almost double the yaw, and the must - have torque - vectoring option selectively delivers torque between the rear wheels.

Performance Traction Management (PTM) has five settings, each adjusting engine torque output, stability (yaw) control, and traction control.

Although not a «proper» modern stability control system, trace control monitors steering angle, throttle position and individual wheel speeds although there is no yaw input.

Yaw rate sensors monitor traction, stability, and the anti-lock braking system to alert you when the car tilts at an unsafe degree.

stability control, yaw control and anti-lock brakes are handling support features that are separate from the drivetrain, though they may co-ordinate with the drivetrain controller.

ESC incorporates all of the features of roll stability control but with the added benefit of a steering - angle sensor and a yaw sensor to measure the tractor's directional stability.

We've tested each of the aforementioned extensively this winter in concert with the 2002 MDX (which didn't have stability control, making it really fun) and there seems to be two schools of thought on how to manage engine and braking to control yaw: Either kill almost all power when slip is encountered or let the driver drive through the slip with moderate intervention.

Using electronic stability control sensors to measure steering angle, vehicle yaw, and lateral acceleration and brake assist (BAS) sensors to detect emergency braking, the system can tighten the seat belts, adjust seat positions including rear seats (if installed), raise folded rear headrests (if installed), and close the sunroof if it detects a possible collision (including rollover).

Agile Handling Assist (AHA) uses the subtle application of brake torque to further enhance yaw response and dynamic stability.

The LFA is equipped with Lexus's Vehicle Dynamic Integrated Management (VDIM) system, which co-ordinates the smooth operation of the ABS, vehicle stability and traction control systems as the vehicle approaches its performance limits, based on critical data on brake operation, yaw and roll rates, individual wheel speed and longitudinal, lateral and vertical acceleration.

Electronic driver aids include antilock brakes and traction control, which, with input from allied acceleration and yaw sensors, can be controlled by dynamic stability control to limit oversteer or understeer, or traction loss in slippery conditions.

Active yaw control helps the Ridgeline follow the cornering line intended (by the driver) more faithfully and naturally, greatly enhancing its stability.

With a touch of a button, the system allows some wheelspin and yaw before stability control intervenes.

At high speeds, the rears steer up to 2.75 degrees in concert with the fronts to reduce yaw during lane changes and increase highway stability.

Those «most driver - focused model» marching orders also yield changes like a standard air suspension that sits 10 mm closer to terra firma than even the Macan Turbo, along with a unique Sport mode calibration for the stability control program that nearly doubles the allowable yaw rate (translation: the electronic nannies will give you a significantly longer leash before yanking you back in line).

As a consequence, the activation of the stability control system reduces vehicle velocity, making the intervention practical for enhancing vehicle safety in critical transient conditions, identified when the offset between the reference value of vehicle yaw rate and the actual value of vehicle yaw rate exceeds assigned thresholds.

With an active center differential and yaw and stability control, the Evolution's AWD system can adjust the torque split between wheels for maximum performance potential, and it should serve us well when the snow hits.

A smorgasbord of electronic controls govern what Mitsubishi calls Super All - Wheel Control, including active controls for the all - wheel drive and its center and rear differentials, stability control, yaw control and antilock brakes.

Heavy components, including the battery, are placed in the center of the body, helping achieve smaller yaw moments of inertia compared with front - engine vehicles and thereby improving directional stability, enabling smoother cornering.

Mitsubishi's Super All Wheel Control system helps enormously in tricky conditions while it controls the vehicle's active center differential, active yaw control and active stability control.

The sensors include inside and outside temperature, wipers on / off, road incline, yaw (off - center movement left or right), steering wheel effort vs. angle, individual wheel speeds, position of the gas pedal, brake fluid pressure, transmission gear, and dynamic stability control activity.
