| | Electronic Stability Program |
 | | Electronic Stability Program (ESP), also known as Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC), Electronic Skid Protection (ESP) and many other names, are electro-hydraulic systems that help control vehicles as they approach the limits of stability. |
 | | The system consists of an electronic control unit (ECU), a hydraulic control unit (HCU), an electrically driven hydraulic pump and a set of sensor s. |
 | | The ESP system then activates the brake on one or more wheels as appropriate to help prevent a skid, and more generally, to improve the feedback to the driver, and make the handling more linear. |
