Steering Torque Control
Steering Torque Control (STC), also known as integrated vehicle control,,is delivered through the integration of TRW's Electrically Powered Steering (EPS) and Electronic Stability Control (ESC) systems through integration algorithms. STC addresses several situations.
Oversteer Control Assist
STC provides oversteer control assist to help correct situations such oversteer during hard cornering or rapid lane change maneuvers. The EPS system generates a steering torque, helping to "coach" the driver to the direction of the required steering angle correction.
Enhanced Split μ Assist
During the split μ braking situation, the braking and steering systems work together to maximize vehicle stability while the vehicle stops. The EPS system generates steering torque, which encourages drivers to counter-steer and respond to vehicle yaw in a controlled fashion. As a result, higher braking pressures can be initiated on the high μ side, providing the potential to reduce stopping distance.
Steering Torque Control offers additional features, such as side wind compensation, trailer stability control and pull drift compensation to offset road camber.
