ESC-Application

Robust results by individual tuning.
A hydraulic unit, an ECU and sensors do not make up a complete ESC system. An ESC system tuned for a small truck cannot be used on a sports car.

There are a few important tuning tasks necessary before every vehicles unique characteristic can satisfy the manufacturers and the end customer’s requirements.
Basic parameters must be initially adjusted, i.e.: vehicle mass, wheelbase, track width, steering ratio, brake characteristics, etc.

Afterwards the tuning of important physical models like characteristic speed follows.

The intervention limits are adjusted depending on customer requirements which differ based on vehicle type and customer tuning philosophy. In this tuning phase, the level of instability at which an intervention should occur, i.e. during oversteer, is clearly defined.
It must also be taken under consideration that an ESC system should perform on various surface friction coefficients. For this reason, all combinations of high and low grip surfaces with various levels of loading and different tire combinations must be accounted for and tested.

The result is a complete ESC system that significantly enhances vehicle safety for all traffic users.

A belated and significant change of ESC relevant components (i.e. powertrain, suspension, steering) may have a significant effect on ESC performance. In this case, retuning of the ESC system may be necessary to ensure optimum performance.
