Russian Engineering Research Aims and scope

Abstract

The approaches of foreign specialists to improving electronic control systems for the dynamic state of vehicles (traction, directional stability, and rollover resistance) to improve their safe operation are analyzed. The three main components of the active driveline torque-management (ADTM) system (the center clutch, the electronic limited slip differential (eLSD), and the torque vectoring system) are considered. The possibilities and limitations of using active torque control systems to ensure vehicle safety are shown.
