CO4204-6W UniTrain Course – Traction control systems ABS/TCS/ESP

ABOUT THIS PRODUCT:

Today the terms ABS, ASC and ESP are part of standard everyday vocabulary in automotive engineering. Everyone, from the master auto mechanic to the car crazed end customer is familiar with these terms and knows what they stand for. Today they are standard equipment in every passenger vehicle and truck coming off the assembly line and play an important role in boosting safety on our streets. Not only that, motor vehicle manufacturers and their suppliers are constantly trying to develop these systems further and add new features to them and expand their functionality so that performance and safety can be increased even further.

With this training system you will enjoy a unique insight into the various systems and their control processes. For the processes occurring inside the vehicle in fractions of a second, the training system is able to take individual control processes and depict them in a simple way, making them transparent and visible for the human eye. Furthermore, all of the relevant driving situations can be explored in a practical manner simply by varying simulation parameters (driving behaviour, varied street surfaces, steering angle, vehicle speed, braking strength). The corresponding multimedia course contains all the necessary theoretical content und provides simple and easy-to-understand explanations of the material based on numerous videos and animations. Thanks to the integrated fault simulator as well as the various knowledge tests, the learning progress of the student or trainee is monitored and important diagnostic skills developed.
