Cars come with so many driver assistance systems these days it is hard to know which is which. In this article, we take a look at what traction control and electronic stability control systems are and how they differ.

The Lamborghini's of the 1970s were beautiful cars. As you might imagine, they were also extremely fast. Despite their appearance, however, they were scary to drive. You could go unbelievably fast, but it felt like the car could take off in any direction at any time. It took a might brave or stupid person to drive one of the beasts very fast.

Modern car designers and engineers have focused on car control as a major issue. The good news is they've come up with some serious inventive systems to assist drivers. From anti-locking brake systems to cars that parallel park themselves, things have never been better. To systems that really help and are often confused are the traction control and electronic stability control system. Let's take a look.

Traction control systems have been with us in one form or another for a long time. They really were heavily developed in Formula One open wheel racing where teams spend upwards of $400 million a year on extremely high tech cars. In fact, the systems were developed to such an extreme that cars hardly slowed down at all on the track. This resulted in a ban of all traction control systems, but the technology is standard on most cars sold to the public now.

A traction control system works by monitoring the spin rate of each wheel. This is done through the all conquering ECU [electronic computer unit] that controls the car. When a wheel starts to spin faster than the other three, the traction control system will slow it down by slightly triggering the brake on the wheel in question. This works to effectively stop slides or skids just before they become a major problem. Some traction control systems will also reduce the power being supplied to the wheel in question.

Most people mistakenly think a traction control system and electronic stability system are the same thing. They are not. The electronic stability control system [ESC] does not deal with wheel spin, but total car control. The system monitors the wheels, but also your steering wheel, the pitch of your car to one side or another and acceleration. If it determines the car is turning too much or too little, it will adjust the power to certain wheels and apply the brakes on other wheels to compensate. Let's consider an example:

You are driving down a road in the rain. You come up on a left hand turn a bit fast. You turn and the back end of the car starts to spin around to your right. The ESC system automatically takes action. It will active the brake on the front right wheel and perhaps add a bit of power the left rear wheel if your car allows for it. This will effectively stop the back end of the car from continuing to swing around and save you from a wreck. Pretty amazing, eh?

If you are looking for safety in your car, you do not have to choose between traction control and electronic stability systems. Get both and throw in anti-locking brakes as well!

Driving Conveniently With the Help of Smart Automotive Electronics

We live in the digital age where technology makes our lives easier each day. Advance medical equipments are created to help doctors treat patients, kitchen tools are innovated to make it easier for home makers, and cars are made smarter to make driving easier for humans.

Automotive electronics paved the way for helpful features like anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and automatic weather adjustments which makes driving safer and more comfortable.

Car manufacturers spend about two thousand dollars in automotive electronics for every car that comes out of the assembly line. These automotive electronics transform the car into a vehicle with better performing engine, more adaptive entertainment systems, and safety features that are far more superior than its predecessors.

Automotive Electronics of the Modern Car

• Control Area Network or CAN - There are several computers that run a modern car. The CAN is a network of computers that play vital roles in the different functions of the engine and its peripherals. The CAN serves as the bridge for the different computers so they can communicate with one another so everything are well coordinated. CAN controls the functions like cruise control, engine management, and the ABS.

• Fuel Efficiency- automotive electronics can save a car owner hundreds of dollars in fuel consumption. This is done thru the EFI or Electronic Fuel Injection technology which ensures that the engine's fuel consumption is at its optimal. In hybrid cars, a driver can easily switch from using gas and electronic power supply to run the vehicle.

• Safety Devices- Most safety system is controlled by automotive electronics. Devices like the Acceleration Slip Regulation, Traction Control, Electronic Stability and Dynamic Steering wheel ensure the safety of the driver and the passengers. The simple but complicated timing of airbags during a road collision is also controlled by advanced automotive systems.

• Added Features- Some cars today can even park themselves without any assistance from the driver. All the calculations are done by a computer making sure the car will not hit anything by making references to other cars and different objects in its surrounding.

One cannot imagine the evolution that took place with automotive electronics. The Apollo 11 which landed on the moon ran on a memory which is 150 kilobytes only. The sound systems of our cars today are running on 500 kilobytes of memory to ensuring our entertainment pleasure. Automotive electronics have gone far beyond entertainment and enhanced modern day vehicles in terms of safety, efficiency, and convenience.

The automotive industry projects billions of investments and sales in developing cars that are smarter, more fuel efficient and more environment-friendly in the future. Modern cars can be the answer to alleviate the adverse condition of the environment and the rising price of fuel all over the globe.

Cars are being developed to scan the traffic, the road, and all hazards so it can drive itself while the driver can do anything that he wants while in motion. The future cars can think for themselves with the aid of advanced automotive electronics. In that way, driving will be more than getting from one place to another.

Is it possible to install electronic stability control on a car?

The car is either a 2000 or 2004 chevy impala. it has 4 wheel abs. can i upgrade the car and how much will it cost?

Anything can be done as long as you have unlimited supply of money. There was no system designed for this car so you are looking at major bucks. It would be cheaper to by another car with that feature.
