Many trucks are now fitted with many intelligent features to keep them safe on the road. For example, ABS, ACC, ESC, HAC etc. This article will introduce the definition and function of various intelligent functions in detail, so that you can make the right choice when buying a truck.
1. ABS: Antilock brake system. the role is in the car braking, automatic control of the size of the brake braking force, so that the wheels are not locked, in the side of the rolling side slip (slip rate of about 20%) state, to ensure that the wheels and the ground adhesion in the maximum value. This can effectively shorten the braking distance and prevent the vehicle from skidding when braking sharply. This system plays a great role in driving safety, so now the vehicle ABS is a must configuration.
2. EBS: Electronic brake systems. It is based on the evolution of the ABS system and also includes the ABS function, which can also be understood as an electronically controlled ABS.
3. AEBS: Advanced emergency braking systems. AEBS is upgraded on the basis of EBS, through the radar and camera to identify the relative speed and distance of the dangerous vehicles in front, when the controller judges that there is a danger of collision in front, the system controls the engine and braking system to reduce the speed of the vehicle or even stop in order to avoid a collision, to mitigate the damage.
4. ESC: Electronic stability control systems. In the process of driving, when the vehicle oversteers or understeers, the ESC system applies the appropriate braking force to specific wheels of the vehicle, which generates the corrective torque and returns the vehicle to the driver's desired driving trajectory. Also known as electronic stability programme.
5. HAC: Hill-start assist control. It is a function developed on the basis of the ESP system, which allows the vehicle to start on a slope without applying the handbrake to prevent the vehicle from skidding and causing an accident.
6. LDWS: Lane departure warning systems. Through the camera to identify the lane line, when the vehicle crosses the lane route, and the driver does not activate the turn signal, the LDWS system through the sound and light warning to the driver, prompting the driver has deviated from the original lane.
7. ACC: Adaptive cruise control. This is a kind of intelligent automatic control system, which is developed on the basis of the long-existing cruise control technology. When the vehicle is in motion, the distance sensor (radar) installed at the front of the vehicle continuously scans the road in front of the vehicle, while the wheel speed sensor collects the vehicle speed signal. When the distance between the vehicle and the front is too small, the ACC control unit can coordinate action with the brake anti-lock system, engine control system, so that the wheels are properly braked and the engine output is reduced, so that the vehicle and the vehicle in front of the vehicle to maintain a safe distance at all times.
8. DFMS: Driver fatigue monitor system. It is a device based on the driver's physiological image response, which is composed of two major modules, namely, on-board computer and camera, and makes use of the driver's facial features, eye signals, and head mobility to infer the driver's fatigue state, as well as carry out the alarm prompts and take corresponding measures. Another DSM driver status monitoring technology is also similar to this function.
9. TPMS: Tire pressure monitoring system. This technology can automatically monitor the various conditions of tyres in real time by recording the speed of the tyres or electronic sensors installed in the tyres, and can provide effective safety for driving.
