289 results about "Traction control system" patented technology

A traction control system (TCS), also known as ASR (from German: Antriebsschlupfregelung, lit. 'drive slippage regulation'), is typically (but not necessarily) a secondary function of the electronic stability control (ESC) on production motor vehicles, designed to prevent loss of traction of driven road wheels. TCS is activated when throttle input and engine torque are mismatched to road surface conditions.

Vehicle systems control for improving stability

Improved methods of controlling the stability of a vehicle are provided via the cooperative operation of vehicle stability control systems such as an Active Yaw Control system, Antilock Braking System, and Traction Control System. These methods use recognition of road surface information including the road friction coefficient (mu), wheel slippage, and yaw deviations. The methods then modify the settings of the active damping system and / or the distribution of drive torque, as necessary, to increase / reduce damping in the suspension and shift torque application at the wheels, thus preventing a significant shift of load in the vehicle and / or improving vehicle drivability and comfort. The adjustments of the active damping system or torque distribution temporarily override any characteristics that were pre-selected by the driver.

Automatic power-passing phase-splitting apparatus of AC drive electric locomotive

InactiveCN101434206APromise to leaveEnter smooth autoPower supply linesOvervoltageEngineering
The invention discloses an automatic passage method through phase splitting for an AC-DC-AC electric locomotive which comprises the following steps: before the electric locomotive runs into a neutral section, a traction control system controls a traction motor to work in a regenerative braking mode and controls an inverter to stabilize intermediate DC voltage; a pulse rectifier works in an inversion state; an alternating voltage equal to a traction voltage is generated on the primary side of a traction transformer, thereby making the primary side of the traction transformer obtain zero current from a power supply arm; after the electric locomotive runs into the neutral section, the intermediate DC voltage still maintains stability; the AC phase generated by the inversion of the pulse rectifier in the inversion mode changes gradually so as to make the voltage of the primary side of the traction transformer change to become equal to the traction voltage of a next power supply arm; and then the electric locomotive enters the next power supply arm and runs normally. The method enables the automatic passage through phase splitting; in addition during the phase splitting, a main circuit breaker does not need to be turned on and off without arc discharge, interception overvoltage and closing surge overcurrent, and an auxiliary system is not deenergized; and the passage through phase splitting has short time, low traction loss and small speed drop.
