Comparison of Different Vehicles with Electronic Control System Based on Regulatory Tests

Electronic stability control system makes driving more safe under extreme lateral movement conditions. To study the performance under certain regulatory tests, based on UN R140 and FMVSS 126, sine with dwell tests are conducted on four subjects that are a sport car, a normal car, a SUV and a van. An appropirate test methology is established and results of the peak yaw rate and the lateral displacement are investigated. All the results meet the regulatory requirements. The mass and the height of centre gravity of the vehicle are shown to affect the performance under tests according to the comparison.
