The technology helps those who help themselves

Deaths on our roads is high, and this trend is, unfortunately, is stable. Recently, Forbes magazine published a list of the most dangerous countries for drivers. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development study of Russia advanced to first place among the ten countries with market economies. The Government is trying to improve the statistics, to toughen penalties for breaking the rules. This gives a small but fruit - the victims on the roads was a few percent less. But all of his head did not attach, so motorists radeyuschim for the safety of self and passengers, as well as those who ride side by side, can only rely on their own skills and the latest technology. Cushions and seat belts come into play when an accident has already occurred. But more important not to bring the car before the collision, but to help the driver to reduce the risk of, or escape from danger. Automotive engineers are developing vengeance and constantly add to the list of active safety systems. These technologies are designed to prevent and minimize the consequences of the accident. Install them is not cheap, but the price is less than human life. The most common option - the anti-lock wheel ABS (Antilock Brake System). Emergency braking or slip it does not allow the wheels from locking, the car does not go into sideslip. While pressing his foot on the brake pedal is twitching: a sensor pointed wheel lock, and the computer began to self-control braking. Depending on road surface, a second brake may fluctuate up to 15 times. Often with the ABS system is used brake force distribution EBD (Electronic Brake Distribution). It helps the car maintain its trajectory, which is useful to the driver, such as emergency braking in a turn. Under the control electronics for each individual wheel braking forces are chosen in view of the road surface and load machines. Coupling with the road during hard braking is the maximum that virtually eliminates the possibility of skidding. Another acronym that system - EBV (Elektronishe Bremskraftverteilung - it.). With the first two systems worked and traction control system ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation). It prevents slippage of driving wheels car. At the beginning of drive, with a sharp acceleration on the move or vskarabkivanii on a steep rise would be sufficient only to press the accelerator pedal with the right effort, and electronics will monitor the torque and the need to "choke" the engine speed, reducing fuel supply. Traction control the drive wheels may be found under the names of TRC (Traction Control), ASC (Anti Slip Control), MSR (Modulate System Regulation), DTS (Dynamic Traction Control), ASC + T (Automatic Stability Control + Traction). The system of maintaining exchange rate stability analyzes the wheel speed, steering angle, brake pressure, angular velocity and lateral acceleration. Based on these data adjusts engine output and braking forces at each wheel. If you activate it the car's handling does not change on slippery roads and during sudden maneuvers. Even if the driver is overestimated his abilities and made a mistake, it can save you from skidding. The well-known name systems - ESP (Electronic Stability Program), synonyms: DSC (Dynamic Stability Control), VSC (Vehicle Stability Control), VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist), ASMS (Automatisches Stabilitats Management System), FDR (Fahrdynamik-Regelung), ATTS (Active Torque Transfer System). Emergency braking to help the driver activates the electronic control system pressure in the hydraulic braking system - Brake Assist. Emergency braking is determined by the field and pressure on the brake pedal. Under electronic control pressure in the brake line is increasing rapidly, and stopping distance can be reduced by several times. Other abbreviations are effective braking system - BAS, DBC (Dynamic Brake Control), PA, PABS. Owners of vehicles with the tracking distance to an obstacle you can not worry about a collision at low speed. Minor accidents in heavy traffic - a common cause: a gape, the other did not look in the mirror. "Third Eye" driver is a radar on the front of the body, he evaluates the risk of collision and, if necessary alone stops the machine. Claim such protection can autocompanies few, among them Volvo City Safety, Distronic Plus (Mercedes-Benz), ADR (Automatic Distance Regulation, Volkswagen). Other vendors offer similar collision avoidance system it CMBS (Collision Mitigation Brake System), which notifies users of approaching obstacles signal. A modern car can be stuffed with electronics so that the driver almost anything will not have to worry about, would be money. But do not forget that active safety systems are designed not to think of a man, but only to help in emergencies.
