Speed Limits: If you are a motorist in the UK, your speed will be limited on every public road on which you drive. Know your limit: speed limits in the UK Brief History Today’s Limits Minimum Speeds Different Vehicle Limits A brief history of the speed limit in the UK Speed Limits: If you are a motorist in the UK, your speed will be limited on every public road on which you drive. They’ve always been there, right? Well, not exactly. Interestingly, the speed limit actually…
The video sensor or camera sensor is used in passenger cars so that the driver can see important visual information about the vehicle surroundings. combustor,hybrid,electric Function Safety Video sensors, also referred to as camera sensors or image sensors, are image-based sensors. They provide the driver with important visual information about the vehicle surroundings. Video sensors are different to standard cameras which show the driver (e.g. when manoeuvring backwards into a…
All-season tyres are car tyres that can be used all year round. They are also known as all-weather tyres. combustor,hybrid,electric Function Safety Value retention Environmental protection All-season tyres are legally considered as winter tyres, provided they carry what is known as the Alpine symbol (mountain pictogram with snowflake), which identifies tyres as winter tyres. Drivers are allowed to use these tyres in winter weather conditions, which is not the case with summer…
Active front axle steering systems enable a steering angle to be produced at the front wheels which deviates from the steering wheel angle turned by the driver. This means they can provide the driver with support. combustor,hybrid,electric Function SafetyHydraulic and electric power steering systems help car drivers to steer by supporting the steering force. In these systems, the steering angle turned by the driver is transferred to the front wheels with a constant translation…

The purpose of the brake or brake system is to safely and reliably decelerate the vehicle, regardless of its speed. The brake also needs to keep the vehicle stationary when the driver is not there and when the vehicle is located on a slope. Active vehicle safety systems such as anti-lock brake systems (ABS) or traction control systems (TCS) supplement the brake system and are designed to keep the vehicle stable in critical situations. Conventional friction brake When the driver…
To upgrade a conventional brake system with the ABS function, you need additional components. The ABS control unit is the key element here, without which the ABS system would not function. combustor,hybrid,electric Function Design Safety Protection of the environmentThe ABS control unit has the task of processing the speed detected by the wheel speed sensors. The ABS control unit uses these signals to control the braking force for each wheel individually. Through varying or…
In order for a petrol engine to function, an ignition spark must be generated between the electrodes of the spark plug at the correct point in time in order to ignite the petrol/air mixture compressed by the piston... combustor,hybrid Safety Function Environmental protection The primary current for the ignition coil can be 10 A or more. The electronics in the ignition module, which switch this current on and off, become very hot due to this high current (power loss). Therefore,…
