Traction control basically reduces the slip of the tires on icy surfaces when the car begins to accelerate and prevents wheels to spin. It uses a part of anti-lock braking system (ABS). There are certain indications which warn you to activate and deactivate traction control. While on snow, you should follow some warning signs and drive accordingly.

1. Summer over, Winter started

3. It is designed to
prevent loos of
traction of
driven road
wheels
It comes into
action when
throttle input
and engine
torque are
mismatched to
road surface
conditions
Few insights about Traction Control

4. When traction
control comes
into action

5. TRACTION CONTROL IS A METHOD OF PREVENTING
WHEELS FROM SPINNING WHEN TRACTION IS APPLIED
BY LIMITING THE AMOUNT OF POWER SUPPLIED TO
THE WHEEL AND THE SYSTEMS WHICH EMPLOYS THIS
TYPE OF MECHANISM IS CALLED TRACTION CONTROL
SYSTEM.

6. Non-Electric Traction System
Electric Traction System
Classification of Traction System

7. Electric Traction System
The system which involves the use of electricity at some stage.
Such as diesel electric drive, electric drive.

8. The system which doesn’t involve
the use of electricity at any stage
Such as steam engine drive, IC
engine drive
Non – Electric Traction System

9. A standard traction control system is
going to make use of the wheel speed
sensors that are part of an antilock
braking system (ABS).
The power to the spinning wheel is
reduced.
Or
The system will initiate the braking
system to help the spinning wheel.
Getting Started

10. Working Of Traction Control
System

14. How to detect the
problem

15. ABS system is a computer chip deriving
information from the ABS sensors to determine
traction problems & alerting driver by traction
control warning light.

18. Things to keep in mind while driving on snow
Traction control stop wheels from spinning
Trash control is something meant to in conditions of
inclement weather
Keep in mind when you turn off the traction control
system & put the system back in operation once out
of the snowdrift
Before the snow starts falling traction control should
be checked to be sure everything is in good order

20. Without Traction Control:

21. • With Traction Control

22. Advantages of TCS:
Avoid
Accidents
Qualify for
an insurance
discount
Avoid
slippage of
the wheels

23. Disadvantages of TCS:
At least
makes
wheel slip
up to 10%
Wearing
of brake
systems
