Few insights about Traction Control
It is designed to prevent loos of
traction of driven road
wheels
It comes into action when
throttle input and engine torque are
mismatched to road surface
conditions

When traction control comes
into action

TRACTION CONTROL IS A METHOD OF PREVENTING WHEELS FROM SPINNING WHEN TRACTION IS APPLIED BY LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF POWER SUPPLIED TO THE WHEEL AND THE SYSTEMS WHICH EMPLOYS THIS TYPE OF MECHANISM IS CALLED TRACTION CONTROL
SYSTEM.

Classification of Traction System
Non-Electric Traction System
Electric Traction System

Electric Traction System
The system which involves the use of electricity at some stage.
Such as diesel electric drive, electric drive.

The system which doesn’t involve the use of electricity at any stage
Such as steam engine drive, IC engine drive
Non – Electric Traction System

The power to the spinning wheel is reduced.
Or
The system will initiate the braking system to help the spinning wheel.
A standard traction control system is
going to make use of the wheel speed
sensors that are part of an antilock
braking system (ABS).
Getting Started

How to detect the
problem

ABS system is a computer chip deriving information from the ABS sensors to determine traction problems & alerting driver by traction
control warning light.

Things to keep in mind while driving on snow
Traction control stop wheels from spinning
Trash control is something meant to in conditions of inclement weather
Keep in mind when you turn off the traction control system & put the system back in operation once out
of the snowdrift
Before the snow starts falling traction control should be checked to be sure everything is in good order

Advantages of TCS:
Avoid Accidents
Qualify for an insurance
discount
Avoid slippage of the wheels

Disadvantages of TCS:
At least makes
wheel slip up to 10%
Wearing of brake systems
