Honda Develops Stability Control

Modern cars are equipped with various advanced safety features, especially in the brake system, such as the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), and Braking Assist (BA). These technologies make the driver feel confident when doing hard or emergency braking.

With more advanced portions, active safety devices are integrated in the electronic stability control or Electronic Stability Control (ESC), which was named Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) by Honda.

Stability control function is to help the driver control the car when the symptoms oversteer or understeer. Due to the wheels lose traction in slippery road conditions or speeding around the corner.

This feature can not work individually. To maximize performance, the system is aided by a variety of other active safety devices. Such as ABS, EBD, BA, including traction control.

But the steering wheel controls are still entirely held by the driver. Driver reaction speed in responding to symptoms that occur are still needed here.

In the All New Honda Odyssey, the driver can be a bit more relaxed when an emergency occurs. VSA at the fourth-generation Odyssey has been integrated with Electric Power Steering (EPS) to obtain a more effective steering control when the tires lose traction.

Honda engineers make significant development of ESP. There are five sensors located on the steering system and wheel.

The fifth sensor is interconnected, so that if it was found that symptoms of oversteer, the sensors on the steering system will give input on the computer.

Then the system will respond by providing additional power to the wheel in the opposite direction of the turn, after the ABS and EBD braking.

Vice versa when the detected symptoms of understeer. VSA will respond by giving additional power to the wheel in the direction of the bend, after the ABS and EBD reduces the speed of the car.

This also occurs when a car hit by strong winds blowing from the side. Instantly, the sensor will give instructions to the rudder to move in the opposite direction of the wind direction. So that the car was back on track and under control.

Thus, the electronic control functions ketsabilan not only revolve around the control system. Moreover, ESP has now been included in the active safety features.

5 + ESP sensor VSA

In the work, the system VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) Honda relies on sensors that send 5 input by the car's motion. This is the fifth such sensors.

1. Yaw Rate Sensor

Measure the position deviation of the car to the ideal path to take.

2. Lateral G Sensor

Measuring the deviations in the car centrifugal force.

3. Steering Angle Sensor

Measure the deviation in the direction of rotation of the wheel.

4. Wheel Speed Sensor

Measure the deviation in velocity at all four wheels and measure the slip of symptoms that occur.

5. Torque Sensor

Measuring the deviation of vehicle speed engine torque.
