		Electronic Stability Program From Sterwiki Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) is a registered trademark of DaimlerChrysler AG and used originally for Mercedes-Benz.
		ESP compares the driver's intended direction in steering and braking inputs, to the vehicle's response, via lateral acceleration, rotation (yaw) and individual wheel speeds.
		ESP also integrates all-speed traction control, which senses drive-wheel slip under acceleration and individually brakes the slipping wheel or wheels, and/or reduces excess engine power, until control is regained.

	Jeep Commander XK - Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
		Electronic Stability Program (ESP) is a stability enhancement system designed to electronically detect and assist drivers in critical driving situations and under adverse conditions...automatically.
		Electronic sensors are strategically placed in the vehicle, allowing ESP to analyze steering wheel activity, wheel speeds, acceleration and the vehicles' rotation about its vertical axis (technically named yaw).
		ESP corrects for over/understeering of the vehicle by applying brakes to the appropriate wheel.

	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 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.
		The ESP monitors the steering wheel angle and the vehicle's yaw velocity, and when the error between the two exceeds pre-programmed limits, it intervenes, and brakes the inner rear wheel (typically).

	Electronic Stability Control - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is the generic term for systems designed to improve a vehicle's handling, particularly at the limits where the driver might lose control of the vehicle.
		It was then introduced to the mass market by Continental Automotive Systems under the broader name of Electronic Stability Control, which is now the more common term recognized by the Society of Automotive Engineers, although individual motor manufactures use a range of different marketing names (see below).
		Electronic Stability Control forms the foundation for new advances on vehicle equipment that will save additional lives and give the driver still more control over the vehicle.

	AutoWeb - Five Years of the Electronic Stability Program ESP® (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		One of the strengths of the Electronic Stability Program is the speed with which it works: the sensing of oversteer and understeer, and the automatic braking intervention, are all completed within fractions of a second.
		This is due to new software programming and the use of switchable restrictors in the four inlet valves of the hydraulic unit which allow smoother regulation of the brake pressure.
		On the one hand this pump provides the precise, smooth control required for the Electronic Stability Program and on the other it is so powerful that it can act as a Brake Assist system which and can carry out an emergency braking operation at a maximum pressure of up to 200 bar with split-second speed.

		In recent years, the electronics that control ABS have been refined to include traction control, which distributes braking force to individual wheels depending upon their state of grip, and emergency full power assist, which automatically applies maximum braking when sensors detect high pedal pressures.
		Locally, stability control is certainly useful in the wet and on dirt roads, which are common outside metropolitan areas.
		The reluctance of Australian makers to fit stability control on their models is difficult to understand, given that a local company is involved in the design and manufacture of components for such systems.

		Electronic Stability Program: ESP monitors the vehicle's response to the driver's steering and braking inputs to detect oversteer or understeer.
		If sensors detect that a skidding condition is developing, ESP brakes individual front or rear wheels and/or reduces excess power as needed to help keep the vehicle going in the direction the driver is steering.
		Electronic Brake Force Distribution: This system controls the balance between front and rear brake forces to optimize braking efficiency across all vehicle loading and driving conditions.

		It provides the greatest benefits in critical situations such as turns, and is especially valuable on slippery surface conditions such as snow, ice or gravel.
		If there's a noticeable difference between what the driver is requesting through the steering wheel and the vehicle's actual path, ESP applies selective braking and throttle reduction to put the vehicle back on the driver's intended path.
		Each vehicle has a unique and specific calibration to offer safe control under a variety of conditions and in a manner that is not intrusive in normal or spirited driving.

		ESP, for Electronic Stability Program (or ESC for Electronic Stability Control), is a further enhancement of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) and traction control system (TCS).
		One or several wheels are braked individually so that the vehicle remains steerable and controllable - within the framework of the limits of physics.
		This automatic action is engineered to improve the vehicle's stability by avoiding excessive over-steering or under-steering so that the risk of accidents is reduced, especially on slippery road surfaces, during stern cornering, emergency braking and hectic maneuvers to avoid obstacles.
