In these abbreviations encrypted names invisible electronic assistants, saving the lives of the driver and passengers in emergency situations.
An additional indicator of the system, which monitors the reconstructions from the series, will warn the driver in a timely way of the danger, even if the neighboring vehicle has hidden in the blind spot. In the dense urban flow, the system can be switched off so that the continuously flashing lamp does not distract from management. The history of electronic systems of active security has been counted since the late 1970s, when the German company "Bosch" for the first time installed into a serial car all the well-known ABS (Anti-lock System-antilock braking system). It's probably the only one that all car makers call the same. The task is not to give the wheels a lock on emergency braking to keep control of the car. The modern ABS is inseparable from the system of EBD (Electronic Brake force Distibution), changing the balance of brake forces depending on the loading of the car and the grip of the wheels with the road. Producers do not treat diversity in names, only Mercedes-Benz and Audi as true Germans use their own abbreviation of EBV (Elektronische Bremskraftverteilung), da Peugeot prefers French originality to another combination of letters-REF (Repartiteur Electronique de Freinage). The last generation of stabilization systems is operating in a difficult situation faster and more accurately even by an experienced driver. By playing the brakes and traction, the electronics will quickly correct the mistake made by the man and return the car to the right trajectory. The next step was to fight the bookies. The manufacturers started to be original, making up the various names-for example, TCS (Traction Control System) from Ford, Honda, Mazda, Opel; DTC (Dynamic Traction Control)-from BMW. French producers and representatives of Volkswagen are using the "Automatic Slip Regulation" and Toyota-TRC (Traction Control). The methods of fighting are the opposite of what ABS: to slow down unnecessarily fast wheels to effectively disperse and secure clutch. The traction control system controls the propulsion of the engine by turning off the ignition, reducing the supply of fuel or covering the throttle. The emergency braking amplifier is distinguished by an emergency deceleration from staff and is self-squeezing the pedal to minimize the stopping distance. In this case, alarm signals are usually activated, or stop lamps are starting to flash, warning the drivers of danger. If you do not take into account the French name AFU (l' Aide au Freinage d' Urgence), the other names are similar: the EBA (Emergency Brake Assist) is known as the Ford, Volvo and Land Rover, BAS (Brake Assist System)-Mitsubishi, HBA (Hydraulic Brake Assist)-Alfa Romeo, while Nissan uses the NBA similar to the NBA (Nissan Brake Assist). The AIL system tracks the position of the car over the lines of the marker. An attempt to cross them without a direction-indicator lamp shall include the vibration of the driver's seat cushion from the side to which the vehicle is rejected. The system of exchange rate stabilization is designed to prevent oversteer and drift-of course, when they are still under control. Some modifications track the trajectory not only of the car, but also the trailer. The electronics limit the fuel supply or selectively supports one wheel or several. The most common name is Electronic Stability Program, ESP, which is a trademark of Bosh, the leader in the development and production of such security systems. This abbreviation is used by Volkswagen, Fiat, Peugeot, Citroen, Mercedes-Benz, Opel. The alternative name Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) offers BMW and Mazda, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) in Honda and Acura, Ford installs a system with a beautiful name Interactive Vehicle Dynamics (IVD). Porshe and Mitsubishi have come up with their own names-PSM (Porsche Stability Management) and MASC (Mitsubishi Active Stability Control). The new generation of active security systems can not only feel with information from different sensors, but can also see the situation with cameras and radars. Adaptive cruise control uses radar to scan space in front of the car. When the distance to the neighbor becomes dangerously low, the electronics themselves use the brakes-until a full stop, if necessary. In addition to the intelligent cruise control that supports not only speed, but also the distance to the front of the car, some machines are installed by electronic assistants tracking road markings. In the case of a rebuild from a series of rows to a row, the Audi model starts to vibrate the steering wheel (Audi Lane Assist) and the Citroen is part of the seat cushion from the appropriate side (AFIL). In Infiniti-M, an electronic assistant to prevent lane departure (Lane Departure Prevention), even intervenes in the management, torrential wheel of one, then on the other side, not allowing the car to leave the occupied row. The first blind spot scanner used Volvo-BLIS (Blind Spot Information System). The LEDs that are embedded in the side mirrors of the rear view signal a machine in the next row. But today, such devices are not only installed by Swedes. Infiniti (Blind Spot Intervention), Mercedes-Benz (Blind Spot Detection), BMW (Blind Spot Detection, part of Lane Departure Warning), can warn the driver of the danger. One of the most recent innovations in the fight for the carefree life of pedestrians and insurance companies is the City Safety from Volvo. At speeds up to 30 km/h, it almost completely excludes accidents, including emergency braking, if the driver is distracted. This electronic assistant scans objects at a distance of up to 6 m and handles data from the radar 50 times per second. The system recognizes not only cars, but also pedestrians, including children with an increase of 80 cm. Cars can see day and night. Night observation device will detect objects in the dark before they appear in the light of the headlights. Often their handicapper helps to avoid a dangerous situation on the road. Cadillac was the first to introduce the Night Vision Night Vision in 1999. The Deputy Assistant informs the driver about the facilities at a distance of up to 300 m. The new version of the Night View Assist Plus, which previously distinguished in the darkness of people at a distance of up to 80 m, in the new version warns of the danger not only of the driver but also of the pedestrian himself. If there are no counter-cars, the electronics channel the headlight into the person, focusing on the attention of both the movement's participants. The passive safety of cars has already reached a high level, and therefore it is unjustifiable to radically improve the protective properties of the car. Therefore, all developers have focused on electronic systems to help prevent accidents. The trend is clear: there will be even more assistants in the coming years. It is logical: it is better to fight the causes than the investigation.
