Cornering brake control

Cornering Brake Control (CBC) is an <a href="/facts/Automotive_safety/8VPeJhSG">automotive safety measure</a> that improves handling performance by distributing the <a href="/facts/Force/533Q1uzq">force</a> applied on the wheels of a vehicle while turning corners. Introduced by <a href="/facts/BMW/cJd8y02r">BMW</a> in 1992, the technology is now featured in modern <a href="/facts/Electric_vehicle/jhCbx5ur">electric</a> and gasoline vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, and trucks. CBC is often included under the <a href="/facts/Electronic_stability_control/wFKFDnSw">Electronic Stability Control</a> (ESC) safety feature provided by vehicle manufacturers.
CBC uses the vehicle's <a href="/facts/Electronic_control_unit/EfffqUuK">electronic control unit</a> to receive data from multiple sensors. CBC then adjusts <a href="/facts/Brake/p8751fV6">brake</a> steer <a href="/facts/Torque/KcrcvNtV">torque</a>, brake <a href="/facts/Pressure/eyc37GRG">pressure</a>, <a href="/facts/Yaw_(rotation)/6u8PKjRW">yaw rate</a>, and stopping distance, helping the driver keep control of the vehicle while turning both inwards and outwards.
Experimentation done with CBC technology has shown that it is an advancement on the traditional <a href="/facts/Anti-lock_braking_system/SmXvJn6G">Anti Lock Braking System</a> (ABS) featured in modern vehicles. CBC is also likely to be incorporated with future <a href="/facts/Vehicular_automation/hhmnmpcu">autonomous vehicles</a> for its precision and real-time response.
