Mechatronics and you:
Electronic stability in cars – how it works.
Electronic stability control (ESC) (marketed under different marketing names by different companies) is a program in some newer cars that tries to prevent oversteer and understeer in cars. ESC cannot prevent crashes – merely reduce the severity of impact.
Electronic stability works by comparing the drivers intended direction to the actual response of the vehicle by sensing lateral acceleration, individual wheel speeds and rotation and responds accordingly.
ESC is an example of mechatronics at work – it is a moving system using electronics to control and get a desired response.
