Electronic Stability Control (ESC) - Enhancing Vehicle Stability and Control Through Intelligent Interventions

 Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is a critical safety feature in vehicles that significantly enhances vehicle stability and control. It operates by utilizing a network of sensors to detect and monitor the vehicle's movements, including steering angle, wheel speed, yaw rate, and lateral acceleration.

When the ESC system detects that the vehicle is deviating from the driver's intended path or experiencing a loss of control, it intervenes to correct the situation. It does this by selectively applying the brakes to individual wheels and adjusting engine power as needed.

By selectively applying brakes to specific wheels, ESC helps to counteract oversteering or understeering situations. If the vehicle begins to oversteer (rear end sliding out), ESC can apply brakes to the appropriate wheels to help restore stability and prevent a spinout. Similarly, if the vehicle begins to understeer (loss of front-wheel traction), ESC can apply brakes to the necessary wheels to improve steering control and keep the vehicle on its intended path.
