Traction Control for KTH Formula Student
When accelerating, traction from the tyres is necessary to move the vehicle forward. If too much torque is applied to the wheels of the vehicle, the tyres will start to spin and thereby the traction will decrease. This can occur when the driver of the vehicle applies to much throttle, but can be con...
