What is the ESP system in cars

ESP system in cars:

The Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is one of the most important safety systems in cars [1]. The system is designed to keep the vehicle safe in a way that is continuously monitored. The system contains a warning lamp for the dashboard , And comes in the form of a yellow car with two sliding signs below, the warning light lights up if the car is in danger, and if the lamp continues to light, it indicates that the system is defective or may be disrupted, and in both cases it is best to check it at a specialist.

How ESP works:

Slippage is one of the main causes of road accidents. International studies show that at least 40% of fatal traffic accidents are caused by slippage. ESP can prevent 80% of all slip events, the system detects if the slide is imminent and intervenes very quickly to avoid Problem, to keep the driver in control of the car provided that does not exceed other cars,The system is continuously active, where a mini-computer monitors the signals of the system sensors 25 times per second, whether the information entered corresponds to the actual direction in which the vehicle is moving, if the car moves in a different direction, the system detects the situation and reacts immediately Independent of the driver, and uses the braking system in the vehicle to guide the driver, so that the vehicle returns to the correct system. [3]

Differences Between ESC and ESC:

ESP and ESC are in fact the same function. Some brands prefer to give the system their own character. In addition to ESP and ESC, we can also find VDC, VSA and DSC, all of which are essential to maintain electronic stability of the vehicle.
