4. Differentials: Advantages: Power to most traction Simple in Action Wheel locking Disadvantages: Wear out Cost to build. Special lubricants. LITERATURE:
9. CASE STUDIES: Limited slip differential 1971 - Buick division of GM “MaxTrac” Honda ST in 1992, Kawasaki Concours 14 in 2010 Mitsubishi's modern Active Skid and Traction Control 2006 “Theory of ground vehicles” - Prof. Jo Yung Wong, Carleton University.
10. SCOPE: Self learning systems Track conditions Tire condition Internal settings Desired TRAC control level
13. BENEFITS OF TRACTION CONTROL: Avoiding accidents Sudden twists and turns Slippage of the wheels Stopping distances Driving a powerful car Most gripping.
