TRACTION CONTROL

ABSTRACT

Car accidents dominate the transportation industry in regards to the number of

deaths that occur on the road, accounting for 94 percent. With over half a million car

wrecks every year, safety aspects, such as traction control, are being constantly

developed to keep drivers safer. By understanding modern-day safety features, drivers

can stay well-informed of potential aftermarket options for their vehicles to keep them

safe. Traction Control Systems is the modern day solution to the problems such as

unnecessary skids power loss due to less traction and railway track traction control.

Whilst the old methods such as limited slip differentials are getting inefficient to

handle the critical driving situations, need for a more advanced traction control

system arises and henceforth comes into picture the Electronic Traction Control

System or the TRAC System.

This paper puts light to the modern Traction Control system basics, working,

benefits and applications while appreciating the history of the traction control systems

and present world utilization.
