Advanced ABS Operation, Features
Steering Angle Sensors
The sensor enables the Bendix Advanced stability system
to capture the driver’s steering input and intervene if a
yaw correction is indicated. The sensor also provides the
earliest indication of an increase in lateral acceleration
leading to a potential roll event, resulting in much higher
stability margin when a vehicle is equipped with a steering
angle sensor.
Brake Demand Sensors
Bendix Advanced stability systems are designed to
supplement the drivers actions. By directly measuring
driver brake demand, the system can accurately
transition between driver-intended and system-intended
braking pressure seamlessly. For example, if in a
certain maneuver, the system calculates that 40 psi is
needed and the driver is only applying 20 psi, the system
compensates automatically to deliver the needed 40 psi.
If, however, during the same maneuver the driver steps
on the brake pedal quickly to apply a higher (above 40
psi) braking level the driver’s braking input overrides the
temporary change made by the system.
Driving Scenario:
Driving speed exceeds the threshold,
creating a situation where the vehicle
is prone to rollover on higher-friction
surfaces.
Action by Bendix Stability Solutions:
System applies the brakes to reduce
speed, thereby reducing the tendency
to roll over.
