Active Body Control, or ABC, is the Mercedes-Benz brand name used to describe electronically controlled hydropneumatic suspension. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This suspension improves ride quality and allows for control of the vehicle body motions, allowing for reduced body roll in many driving situations including cornering , accelerating , and braking .
The first active anti-roll bar system was Citroën's SC.CAR (Systeme Citroën de Contrôle Actif du Roulis), debuted in its 1994 Xantia Activa, a medium-sized European sedan. [6] The anti-roll bar could be stiffened by the suspension ECU during hard cornering, minimizing body roll to 2 degrees.
An active rollover protection (ARP), is a system that recognizes impending rollover and selectively applies brakes to resist. [1] ARP builds on electronic stability control and its three chassis control systems already on the vehicle – anti-lock braking system, traction control and yaw control. ARP adds another function: detection of an ...
While conventional traction control systems at the time featured only a slip control function, Mitsubishi's TCL system had an active safety function, which improved course tracing performance by automatically adjusting the traction force (called "trace control"), thereby restraining the development of excessive lateral acceleration while turning.
An active suspension is a type of automotive suspension that uses an onboard control system to control the vertical movement of the vehicle's wheels and axles relative to the chassis or vehicle frame, rather than the conventional passive suspension that relies solely on large springs to maintain static support and dampen the vertical wheel movements caused by the road surface.
The active stabilizer system relies on vehicle body sensors and electric motors. The first production usage of this system was introduced in August 2005 with the Lexus GS430 sport sedan, [1] followed by the 2008 Lexus LS 600h luxury sedan. The development of APSSS is claimed to be the world's first electric active stabilizer system. [2]
