KEY FOB WON'T START CAR Most late model cars and light trucks use a Start button instead of an ignition key to start the engine. The start button most receive a coded signal from a smart key fob before it will start the engine, when you press the button if nothing happens, it may mean one of several things: click here https://lnkd.in/d9-matQp And see what to do if it happens to you.

What causes maintenance required light to come on? On some cars there's a very specific amount of miles and as soon as you hit those, that light comes on to tell you that your car is due for some service. On other vehicles, like my 2018 Silverado for example, it's an algorithm. https://lnkd.in/gCXGkruR

Understanding the Different Types of Vehicle Brakes Let's explore the differences between the four main types of brakes....READ MORE! https://lnkd.in/gdn9S7fw

ZF's Integrated Brake Control (IBC) is today's leading solution for coordinating the brake application on passenger cars: IBC has the potential to shorten the emergency braking distance by nine meters and to extend the range of electric vehicles.

This is the Moose Test, and strangely, many new cars are failing it. Either rolling up on two wheels, spinning, understeering straight on - or rolling over completely. The significance of this test lies in its ability to simulate real-world driving scenarios, where drivers instinctively swerve to avoid an obstacle and then abruptly steer back into their lane without braking. While a trained driver might handle the situation with ease, many everyday drivers struggle with basic maneuvers, making this a realistic and effective test of driving skills.

Steering Knuckle https://lnkd.in/gedYbs4A The automotive steering knuckle is a crucial component that connects the wheels to the steering system, responsible for translating the driver's steering input, enabling smooth and precise vehicle maneuvering.

Today's thought 😊 There is a concept called Brake Bias or Brake Force Distribution. Generally for Passenger Cars or heavy commercial vehicles front Brake force to be little higher than rear brake force to prevent the predominant rear wheel lockup. By the Braking Dynamics, if rear brake force is higher and rear wheel having a traction coefficient equals to available coefficient of friction then the rear wheel starts locking before front wheel locks - As a result vehicle stability gets affected & starts rotating/drifting to certain extent during panic Braking. In case of ABS failure, brake System should have some amount of bias on Front brakes either on pressure or on brake chamber sizing or on mean effective radius of the brake disc. Agree??

Have you ever been curious about the mysterious 'Wheel Speed Sensor' in your car? 🚗 🤔 They are small in automotive applications, but their role in road safety is huge. 🔒 These invisible protagonists monitor the speed of each wheel, sending key information to the ABS system. 🔹 Fascinating how small devices make such a big difference to our safety! 🤩 #WheelSpeedSensor #roadSafety #Motorisation

Feedback control - The system output to adjust the system input by correcting errors and disturbances. For example: Cruise control system to maintain a constant speed by measuring the actual speed and comparing it with the desired speed.   Feedforward control – The system input to predict the system output and feedback control systems is used to correct the prediction errors and ensure robustness. For example, a traction control system to prevent wheel slip by estimating the road friction and adjusting the torque accordingly.   Examples: 1.    Speed control – The system uses feedback or feedforward control strategies, or a combination of both for the vehicle speed throttle control. a.    Feedback control - To match the actual speed with the desired speed. b.    Feedforward control - To account the road slope and the wind resistance.   2.    Steering control - The system uses feedback or feedforward control strategies, or a combination of both for the vehicle direction and orientation according to the driver's input and the road curvature. Types ·       Motion Control - Driver output is steering wheel angle which is connected to the vehicle using a Motion. ·       Torque Control - Driver output is steering torque which is applied to the steering wheel. a.    Feedback control - To align the vehicle heading with the desired heading. b.    Feedforward control - To account for the vehicle speed and the road curvature and adjust the steering angle accordingly.   3.    Braking control - Reducing the vehicle speed and stopping the vehicle safely and smoothly according to the driver's intention and the road situation. a.    Feedback control - To apply the brake pressure according to the desired deceleration. b.    Feedback control - To account for the road friction and the vehicle mass and modulate the brake pressure accordingly.   4.    Suspension control - The ride comfort and smooth driving according to the road profile and the vehicle dynamics. a.    Feedback control - To minimize the body displacement and acceleration. b.    Feedforward control - To account for the road roughness and the vehicle speed and adapt the suspension parameters accordingly.  #automotive

I don't like panic brake.The vehicles are all inclined to be stop as mass.When your car gets panic brake back of you is not ready for brake down milisecondly.So back of you cars should be the same technological vehicles.Do you know that?I've rairly use ABS technologie although using it faster.So in my oppinion the educate is better than panic.Once upon a time I had watched the Japanese track driver.As you knew they are really practical drivers.The visitor was FL5 Type-R they had testing this machine and when the time was pit stop Type-R had panic stop stupidity.This is not good.And the professional driver doesn't like it too. :)
