VDM system improves driving stability and safety

VDM system improves driving stability and safety

Bosch uses the Vehicle Dynamics Management System (VDM) to network the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) with other active vehicle systems that affect vehicle driving performance. This innovative network system enables ESP, active steering system, active chassis system and power system to communicate with each other. This mutual communication between different systems can provide better assistance to the driver, further improve the stability, safety and power of driving, and make driving pleasure to the extreme.

VDM system improves driving stability and safety

The VDM system integrates ESP, active steering system, active chassis system and power system, etc., which further improves driving stability, safety and power.

The VDM system utilizes existing sensors, control units, actuators and centralized coordination actions. It can implement new auxiliary functions appropriately according to different situations. Mr. Herbert Heming, Vice President of Sales of Bosch Chassis Control Systems, said: "By integrating different systems through the VDM system, we can fully utilize the huge potential of advanced driving dynamics systems for the first time."

Maintain good tracking through coordinated braking and steering

Two steering support systems developed by Bosch with the characteristics of the VDM system have served the market-Dynamic Steering Angle Control (DSA) and Dynamic Steering Torque Control (DST). DSA can actively control the steering angle of the wheels, while DST is used for electric power steering vehicles.

DSA can independently increase or decrease the steering angle of the front wheels of the vehicle. For example, when the driver makes a quick lane change and the vehicle is flicking, the DSA will automatically reduce the steering angle of the front wheels, thereby avoiding the vehicle from slipping at an early stage. Usually, such a quick, minimal adjustment occurs without the driver's awareness of the steering wheel, but it ensures that the vehicle is moving in the correct direction of travel. If the sideslip condition continues to intensify, ESP will brake the appropriate wheels individually to ensure complete stability of the vehicle. This optimized coordinated steering and braking function greatly improves the stability and flexibility of the vehicle. For example, in order to maintain stability during the avoidance operation, ESP must reduce the vehicle speed to a lower level than current solutions.

DST is also connected to the ESP system. Rather than automatically correcting the steering angle through the front wheels, this function helps the driver to control the vehicle with optimal driving steering in a critical driving situation. This function helps the driver instinctively find the best steering angle by increasing or decreasing the effect of the electronic power steering system.

The two functions of DSA and DST have the feature of further shortening the braking distance, and their unique value and function can be fully manifested in dangerous situations, such as when braking is required. When the tires on both sides of the vehicle are on dry and slippery roads, this division of labor can provide additional benefits. While the steering system prevents the vehicle from slipping sideways, the braking system can be fully used for vehicle deceleration and can achieve greater braking force. Compared with vehicles equipped with ESP, it can shorten the braking distance by 10%.

Dynamic driving mode: brake system, chassis system and power system work together

Bosch has also developed VDM system functions for chassis systems and power systems based on connection with ESP. At present, the semi-active shock absorber can be used to reduce the front-to-rear and left-right swings when braking with full force and improve the braking distance by balancing the wheel load. In the future, when the vehicle turns sharply, people will be able to use the information stored in the ESP to realize the autonomous steering of the vehicle through the active anti-rollover stabilization system. Since the vehicle will be able to make a more appropriate response according to the driver's actions, the VDM function will increase the stability of the vehicle and ensure the dynamic performance of the vehicle during driving.

In order to improve the driving dynamics of the vehicle in corners, ESP data has been used to adjust the steering torque. The dynamic wheel torque control (DWT) function in VDM can reduce the torque of the inner wheels while increasing the torque of the outer wheels, which can enable the vehicle The steering is more sensitive and the turning radius is smaller, which not only increases the driving flexibility, but also enhances the driving pleasure. To this end, Bosch has developed two technical solutions. One of them is based on the activation of a special distribution gear, which can distribute the driving torque of the car arbitrarily, so that the vehicle has better acceleration on the ground with different friction coefficients, such as on a semi-dry and semi-smooth ground. Now, with Bosch launching the newly developed ESP Extreme Edition, a technically simpler and more economical version of DWT has appeared. A suitable engine control program has been linked to the new and current state-of-the-art ESP version to provide flexible and convenient brake pressure control, enabling vehicles to achieve similar flexibility without installing active distribution gears.

Toggle Switches

Toggle switches,  also called On Off Toggle Switches, is often used as the switching device of the equipment stalls. Meanwhile, we are also offer our customers Key Switches , Metal Switches, Automotive Switches, Push Button Switches, etc.

The Electrical Toggle Switches is a manually controlled Toggle Switches similar to the dial switch. Most of this Latching Toggle Switches are widely used in on-off control of AC and DC power circuits, and are less commonly used in circuits of several kilohertz or up to 1 megahertz. Let's take a look at the following.


Toggle Switches


1. Splash-proof knob button switch

The panel is installed with a splash-proof `O` ring seal, and the knob is a ball. It is a splash-proof ball button knob switch. Its terminals are in a straight line and the bottom of the terminals is sealed with epoxy resin. Strong corrosion resistance, suitable for automotive parts

2. Vertical Mount Right Angle Toggle Switch

The vertical mounting of the terminals and the terminal pins are right-angled, so it is a vertically mounted right-angled toggle switch. Its contacts are gold-plated and highly reliable. Mostly used in anti-theft devices, alert system.

3. Bipolar single toggle switch

At the same time, the switch breaks the phase line and the N line and controls one branch. Therefore, it is a bipolar single toggle switches. The contacts are in 3PDT form and are used for multimedia speakers and stereos.

4. Standard surface mount unthreaded toggle switches

The terminal adopts the standard mounting mode. Its sleeve has no thread. It is called a standard surface mount screw-less switch. The contacts are SPDT and its electrical life is as high as 55,000. Used for medical equipment

5. Horizontally mounted right-angle toggle switch

Compared to the vertical switch, it only changes direction to horizontal, so it is horizontally mounted right-angle toggle switch. The contacts are double-pole double-throw and the bottom of the terminal is Epoxy Seal. Mostly used for computer peripherals.
