Braking force relative to vehicle yaw rate change Explanation: The "change" is a translation for " 隔たり". This is opposed to "difference". If "difference" were used the English reader would have to ask "difference compared to what". If there is additional information in the original that will provide "the what", then going with "difference" is fine. Yaw rate is the vertical angular velocity of a vehicle and is a measure of any slipping that the vehicle is doing. Using the anti-lock braking system, braking force to each tire is precisely controlled to reduce this slipping. Note: confidence level is not "I am sure" because context provided is low. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days 1 hr (2018-12-04 14:30:49 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Going a little further into detail; what is being discussed is anti-lock brakes. As indicated, controlled steering is the easiest and best way to come out of a slipping in a vehicle. However, the engine control unit has no control over steering; therefore, it can't be used by the vehicle design team. Anti-lock brakes give the major advantage of being able to apply braking to each wheel independently including the ability to prevent loss of control/traction. Studies can be done using simulation and this can enable the design team to come up with algorithms best suited to apply braking in a manner to stop slippage. I remember being in a Towncar one time on snowy roads. The driver was driving in a manner that would have generated controlled fish tailing but the traction control system in the car very effectively prevented all but the slightest amount of slipping. |
