Evolving Brake Systems
Which cars do drivers find most reliable?
With this question in mind, we pursue
expanded functions for the brake system.
ADVICS, which has been advancing the safety and comfort of braking, actively engages in the development of comprehensive brake systems beyond that of brake components. Our efforts to develop safer, more comfortable and sophisticated brake systems as well as to improve their basic functions satisfy the diversifying market needs.
Safety
ESC (Electronic Stability Control)
Electronic stability control ensures vehicle stability by automatically controlling brakes and the engine system when sensors detect vehicle instability during cornering.
ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Anti-lock brake system prevents wheels from locking during emergency stopping. They maintain vehicle control and stability even on slippery road surfaces.
AEBS (Autonomous Emergency Brake System)
This system employs a vehicle-mounted radar to automatically detect obstacles and provide braking assist to help prevent sudden collisions.
Comfort
ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control)
The adaptive cruise control uses radar to measure the speed and distance of the vehicle directly in front of the driver and automatically accelerates or decelerates to maintain safe distance and speed.
4WD-TCS (Traction Control System)
The four-wheel drive traction control system improves driving performance by preventing wheel spin during muddy or rugged off-road driving.
HAC (Hill-start Assist Control)
This system is used to ensure safe starts on upward slopes.
Vehicle sliding down that can occur when switching from the brake to accelerator is prevented with
brake control.
DAC (Downhill Assist Control)
This system allows the driver to comfortably turn the steering wheel on steep downward slopes or
snowy roads without tires locking.
By applying a brake to an appropriate wheel, it supports the safety driving.
Environment
Regenerative brake system
This innovative system reuses kinetic energy recovered during hydraulic braking, increasing energy efficiency.
