✦ Synopsis
In line with improvements in vehicle performance and increasing diversi"cation in vehicle applications, improvements in active safety are becoming increasingly important. For its part, Mitsubishi Motors has developed a variety of wheel control technologies that enhance both safety and performance by exploiting the inherent properties of wheels and tyres.
This paper describes two of Mitsubishi Motors' latest developments: the AYC (Active Yaw Control) system and the ASC (Active Stability Control) system. These systems control the driving and braking forces acting upon the right and left wheels in such a way that cornering force can be controlled directly by the driver. As a result, they enable signi"cantly safer and more enjoyable driving.
