Microcontroller based implementation of Electronic Stability Control for automobiles

A large number of research activities have been carried out in the last decade concerning the use of Electronic Stability Control (ESC) in automobiles. These systems not only increase the stability while driving but have also proved useful for reducing the number of accidents reported on highways and expressways all around the world. Most of the articles published on ESC, generally are about effectiveness of these systems in situations which involve crashes. This paper describes a method to realize such a complex system that also demonstrates the complete working of this system. The model presented here may be produced commercially at a low cost. Thus it may be used in vehicles without much increase in their total cost.
