In Control

摘要

A Althoush not yet widely used in the commercial truck market, electronic traction control systems based on Antilock Brake System (ABS) technology can provide far more traction assistance than the simple "power divider" lock that was the main traction aid just a few short years ago. This is especially important in construction site operations where surfaces and traction are less than optimal. To understand how technology designed for braking can improve traction under power, first it's necessary to understand some basics of vehicle dynamics. These same principles apply whether the vehicle involved is a go-kart, an everyday sedan, a racecar, or even a dump truck.
