2) Oversteering
▶Oversteering
Oversteering is when the steering wheel is steered to a certain angle during driving and the rear
tires slip outward losing traction. When compared with under steering vehicles, the controlling
of the vehicle is difficult during cornering and the vehicle can spin due to rear wheel moment
when the rear tires lose traction and the vehicle speed increases.
▶ESP controls during oversteering
The ESP system recognizes the directional angle with the steering wheel angle sensor and
senses the slipping route that occurs towards the vehicle cornering direction during
oversteering with the yaw rate sensor and the lateral sensor.
Then the ESP system applies the brake at the front outer wheel to compensate the yaw
moment value. In this way, the vehicle does not lose its driving direction and the driver can
steer the vehicle as he or she intends.
