Veojõukontroll

Veojõukontroll, often referred to as traction control, is a safety system found in many modern vehicles designed to prevent wheelspin. It works by monitoring the rotational speed of each wheel. If the system detects that one or more wheels are spinning faster than the others, indicating a loss of traction, it intervenes. This intervention typically involves reducing engine power to the spinning wheels or applying the brakes to them. The goal is to restore grip and allow the driver to maintain control, especially during acceleration or on slippery surfaces like wet roads, snow, or ice.

The primary benefit of veojõukontroll is enhanced safety. By preventing sudden and uncontrolled acceleration due to wheelspin, it helps drivers avoid skids and maintain stability. This is particularly useful in situations where a driver might inadvertently apply too much power, such as when starting from a stop on a slick surface. Some systems are integrated with other electronic stability systems, further improving overall vehicle handling and safety. While primarily a safety feature, it can also contribute to a smoother driving experience by managing power delivery more effectively.
