Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Test Methods, and Measurement Equipment in Safety Evaluations – Part Three of Three: Measurement Equipment and Data Analysis
Introduction In the second part of this series, we introduced the principal standardized tests used to evaluate the performance of the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system and discussed their role in assessing vehicle dynamic behavior. However, the results of these tests are only valid and reliable when the vehicle’s dynamic data are measured and recorded with a high degree of accuracy. For this reason, automotive proving grounds, vehicle manufacturers, and developers of safety systems rely on advanced measurement, data acquisition,
