VEHICLE SKID CONTROL VEHICLE SKID CONTROL.doc (Size: 281 KB / Downloads: 43) ABSTRACT: Vehicle skid can be defined as the loss of traction between a vehicle’s tyres and the road surface due to the forces acting on the vehicle. Most skids are caused by driver error, although only about 15% of accidents are the direct result of a vehicle skidding. Skids occurring in other accidents are usually the result of last minute action, by the driver, when faced with a crisis ahead rather than actually causing an accident. To counter these skids and to prevent accidents from happening, Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) is incorporated in the vehicle. Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) takes the safety aspects of the driver and the vehicle to the next level. It comes under the category of “Passive Technology”, which helps you to avoid a crash. Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) senses the onset of traction loss and helps the driver stay on track. This is achieved via the system's ability to reduce engine power and to control the brake actuator. VSC helps the driver maintain vehicle traction under demanding conditions by detecting and helping to correct the wheel spin. VSC uses a variety of sensor input to determine if the car is losing traction, then applies the brakes to individual wheels to help correct for discrepancies. The system will also back off the throttle to reduce power. VSC integrates traction control to limit rear wheelspin on slippery surfaces. The VSC system electronically monitors speed and direction, and compares the vehicle's direction of travel with the driver's steering, acceleration and braking input. VSC can help the driver compensate for loss of lateral traction, which can cause skids and loss of vehicle control. The Rear Wheel Skid The rear of vehicle swings out of line and gives the impression of trying to overtake the front (oversteer); see figure 2. If the rear tyres approach their traction limit more rapidly than the front, then the effect is for the rear of the car to steer a wider path than the front wheels. This rotates the car more than the driver intended and, if nothing is done, leads to the car turning a smaller radius corner. When this occurs the car is said to oversteer. Cause:As with the front wheel skid, excessive speed into the hazard and sudden braking or acc-eleration with a rear wheel drive vehicle, destabilising the vehicle, are the main causes of this skid. UNDERSTEER AND OVERSTEER Understeer As the name implies, understeer occurs when the front slip angle is greater than the rear and the car goes straighter rather than following the intended turn. The slip angle, or yaw angle in technical terminology, is the angle between where the car is pointing and the intended path. The yaw moment is the rate at which the yaw angle is changing. The higher the yaw moment, the more likely it is that the driver is losing control. At the same point, the front wheel may start to grip less even when the steering is turned sharply and as a result the car continues in more of a straight line than a sharp turn. Here in this case, the skid control system brakes the inside rear wheel, effectively tightening the car’s line. By applying the brakes, the car slows down which further helps stabilise it. Oversteer Oversteer, on the other hand, occurs when the rear tyres have a greater slip angle than the front tyres and the back threatens to overtake the front, causing the vehicle to spin. In other words, if the rear tyres approach their traction limit more rapidly than the front, then the effect is for the rear of the car to steer a wider path than the front wheels. This rotates the car more than the driver intended and, if nothing is done, leads to the car turning a smaller radius corner. When this occurs the car is said to oversteer. Here the skid control system brakes the outside front wheel to reduce oversteer, effectively pulling the tail back into line. SKID CONTROL Stability control systems or skid control systems with names like StabiliTrak, Dynamic Stability Control, Stability Management, and Vehicle Skid Control are the latest advancement in vehicle safety. Regardless of the different names, they all perform the same task – to sense the onset of traction loss and keep the driver on track. These systems are designed to deliver transparent intervention the moment the situation becomes unstable. A vehicle skid control system actually detects when a driver has lost some degree of control. It then automatically stabilizes the vehicle to help the driver regain control. Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) takes the safety aspects of the driver and the vehicle to a completely new level. These skid control systems are often integrated with the engine management system to cut power in even more tricky situations. This scenario is a complex system of sensors and microprocessors that continually monitor the vehicle for any signs of instability. Once detected (usually in the form of a slide or skid), the system automatically applies selective braking to specific wheels thereby stabilizing the vehicle. This split-second intervention often happens so quickly that it is over before drivers even realize they were in danger of losing control. COMPONENTS The Vehicle Skid Control (VSC) is made possible by the combination of different electronic and mechanical components. Some of the components are those used in Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), and an electronically controlled engine throttle, as well as a dedicated computer and sensors, providing information to the VSC system. |
