Ford Motor Company New Technology called Curve Control System (CCS)

Curve Control System (CCS) technology by the Ford Motor Company

Curve Control System (CCS) is a new technology created by the Ford Motor Company CSS can prevent accidents due to carelessness of drivers who swerved quickly, causing the car to lose stability.

In America, 50 000 accidents recorded each year because of an error by a driver who swerved at high speed. Ford hopes that this technology could be useful, especially on the highway.

The turn controller technology can be smooth braking at entirely four wheels. When the car drove at speeds beyond the limits, the engine torque can be reduced to lower the speed to 15 km / h per second.

Ford explained CCS can work on entirely kinds of weather. If the car does not veer as desired, the technology can restore the driveway into a safe position.

This technology is not a breakthrough, because the stability control system on the car was introduced in 1987 under the name of Electronic Stability Control (ESC). Its function is to detect and minimize wheel skid occurs. When ESC successfully detect the occurrence of loss of control, this technology will automatically braking so that the wheel can be controlled by the driver.

In 1990, Mitsubishi introduced a similar technology is called Diamante (Sigma), in which the electronically controlled traction. All new cars now use the Active Skid and Traction Control (ASTC).

German car manufacturer is also introducing the technology. BMW began production in 1992 equipped with a Continental Automotive Systems (CAS), which can reduce engine torque.

Mercedes in cooperation with Robert Bosch GmbH (the same as BMW) is the technology called Electronic Stability Program (ESP).

Ford Motor Company plans to install Curve Control System (CCS) on the type of crossover cars, SUVs, pick-ups and vans in 2015.
