Electronic Stability Program Now Mandatory In European Cars
Taking a step further to curb the rising number of road accidents, the #-Link-Snipped-# has decided that the new cars which will be launched in European market will have an Electronic Stability Program (ESP). The technology helps to prevent accidents while skidding and also avoids casualty in such mishaps.

An electronic Stability Program essentially consists of a set of microcomputer and sensors. The sensors are placed at strategic position of your car and they are in turn monitored by the microcomputer. The microcomputer is so efficient that it can keep a close surveillance on all the sensors 25 times a second.
The work of the ESP is to maintain coordination between the steering input and the direction of vehicle. In case of mismatch between the two, the ESP springs into action and activates the Anti-lock #-Link-Snipped-#. Depending upon the situation, ESP can also accelerate the wheels to maintain the direction. All this is done in fraction of second and the driver does not need bother about it. The purpose is to keep the vehicle in line and in full control with the steering mechanism. However, in case of the driver’s mistake in operating steering wheel, ESP will be ineffective.
It is claimed that the system is effective in sliding and a 25% drop in accidents is seen in vehicles equipped with ESP than those without it. There are many similar technologies which although the companies employ in their respective cars are not mandatory as per safety regulations. One of them is the #-Link-Snipped-#. The move of #-Link-Snipped-# as per the new safety regulations might also get reflected in automobile industry in other continents especially America and Asia.
