Traction Control
...having a big engine with huge turbo and rear-wheel-drive is really fun, but we don't want this fun always (especially at high speed cornering on narrow roads).
- So I have the idea that I need some traction control implemented...
For the first time I don't speak about fancy stabilizing system with angle and G sensors utilizing brakes, and so on.. It's just a simple idea to control wheelspin when boost is suddenly too much.
For a simple installation we already have:
- Stock wheel angle/speed sensors (VR at all wheels from ABS system)
- Control over excess power by playing with ign retard and fuel-cut
What we need:
- Some extra electronics to process the four VR signal
- Some logic -probably the good-old PID algorythm- to reach the limited slip
Tell me your thoughts!
Simple is good! Have a look at MembersPage/DavidBlades/TCSInputs I don't think it's very up to date though.
I have a couple of promising algorithms in development based on just wheel speed sensors for working out what is slipping. Corners have a big impact on expected speeds... Really must get that Matlab finished...
