Introduced by BMW in 1992, the technology is now featured in modern electric and gasoline vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, and trucks.
[1][2][3] CBC is often included under the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) safety feature provided by vehicle manufacturers.
[5] Experimentation done with CBC technology has shown that it is an advancement on the traditional Anti Lock Braking System (ABS) featured in modern vehicles.
[6][7] CBC was first introduced by the German automobile manufacturer BMW in 1992 under their new Dynamic Stability Control feature.
It was included in the 1992 750i model (their 7-series sedan), and it added a further safety measure to their pre-existing ABS and Automatic Stability Control (ASC) features.
Federal mandates made ESC safety features required in automobile production, which included both CBC technology and functions.
[15] CBC uses the vehicle's electronic control unit and ESC to receive data from multiple sensors.
Experimentation with CBC technology has used Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testing to prove its real-time response to these factors.
[3][5] CBC then adjusts the pressure based on the speed of the vehicle and where its position is relative to its curve, optimizing its stability and traction on the road.
[17][18] This makes both steering and braking smoother for the driver, limiting the possibility of the vehicle's wheels locking up.
[20] CBC logic smoothly reaches the desired yaw rate and lateral acceleration, maximizing comfort and driving performance.
where The change in radius keeps the vehicle from veering outward and potentially leaving the lane, compensating for the driver's error.
[2][25] Limiting lateral movement helps improve vehicle stability while turning, allowing CBC to brake smoothly.
[26] The algorithm used to test CBC logic incorporated many components within the vehicle, such as tires, suspension, and mass.
Results from SiL testing have clearly shown that CBC logic helps keep vehicles within their intended trajectory, enhancing the traditional ABS safety measure.
