Additional field(s): Aerospace / Aviation / Space | | English term or phrase: anti-skid system | Definition from Motor Era :
(ASBS) A computer controlled automotive device which senses when one or more of the wheels are locking up during braking. It eases up on the amount of Hydraulic pressure to that wheel. It must be remembered that a wheel cannot be steered unless it is rolling; so if the wheel is locked up, there is no steering control. By the use of electronic Computers, the brakes rapidly alternate from full power to none so that both maximum braking and maximum steering control is allowed.
Example sentence(s): - The available adhesion values under extreme conditions are less than those defined in the UIC 541-05 document. This is why, in most cases, anti-skid systems are not designed for specified operation in conditions other than those defined in this document. Faiveley Transport
- A car anti-skid protection system that too few Britons are using has been displayed by motor racing star Lewis Hamilton. Skid Car System

| antisladdsystem | Definition:
Antisladdsystem, oftast förkortat ESP (Electronic Stability Programme), är ett system som hjälper en bilförare att undvika och ordna upp en sladd. Funktionen hos ett antisladdsystem styrs av en dator som får information från bland annat ABS-bromsarnas hjulgivare, en sensor i styrningen och ett gyro. Med denna information som underlag kan datorn blixtsnabbt avgöra om bilen håller på att få sladd och agerar då genom att individuellt bromsa ett eller flera hjul och vid behov även minska gaspådraget så att bilen återtar rätt kurs. |
