Traction Control Systems

This document presents information on traction control systems. It discusses the history of different traction control technologies like differentials, 4-wheel drive systems, and anti-lock braking systems. It then provides details on how traction control systems work, including block diagrams and examples of wheel speed control. Benefits of traction control systems include avoiding accidents, better grip during turns, and shorter stopping distances. Traction control is used in cars, motorcycles, and off-road vehicles. While it improves safety, it can reduce performance and wear brake components more quickly.

A TOPIC SEMINAR ON

“TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM”

Presented by,
Vijay S
(4PS07ME093)

P.E.S.C.E. Mandya
INTRODUCTION:
 Traction
 TractionControl System
 Types of TRAC System
HISTORY:
 4-wheel drive
 Differentials
 Antilock Braking System
 TRAC System
LITERATURE:

Differentials:
 Advantages:
 Power to most traction
 Simple in Action
 Wheel locking
 Disadvantages:
 Wear out
 Cost to build.
 Special lubricants.
LITERATURE:

4-wheel Drive Systems


Advantages:
 Reducing slip
 No delay
 No Driver intervention required

Disadvantages:
 More hardware
 Not economic
 Performance drop
LITERATURE

Anti lock Braking System:


 Advantages:
 Wheel locking is avoided.
 Sudden throttle control.

 Disadvantages:
 Not effective at cornering.
 Maintenance issues.

 Not effective at Skidding.


BLOCK DIAGRAM OF TRAC:
PROCESS
CASE STUDIES:

 Limited slip differential


 1971 - Buick division of GM “MaxTrac”
 Honda ST in 1992, Kawasaki Concours
14 in 2010
 Mitsubishi's modern Active Skid and
Traction Control 2006
 “Theory of ground vehicles” - Prof. Jo
Yung Wong, Carleton University.
SCOPE:

 Self learning systems


 Track conditions
 Tire condition
 Internal settings
 Desired TRAC control level
TOYOTA SUPRA MARK IV
TRAC SYSTEM:
TRAC WHEEL SPEED CONTROL:

wheel speed control against time


BENEFITS OF TRACTION CONTROL:

 Avoiding accidents
 Sudden twists and turns
 Slippage of the wheels
 Stopping distances
 Driving a powerful car
 Most gripping.
APPLICATIONS:

In road cars


In race cars
In motorcycles
In off road vehicles
safety
DISADVANTAGES:

 wear on brake components.


 Holds performance driving.
 Allows 10 % wheel slip.
 Its banned in F1 racing.
