Even though there will always be a market segment that utilizes the simple, stand-alone transfer cases and PTUs, the advanced traction control systems of the future will benefit from integration with the other subsystems like engine, transmission, brakes and suspension. The thrust will be to enhance the traction, stability and safety of the vehicles under adverse, off-road as well as high speed on-road driving conditions. The specific control strategy employed should take into consideration the nature of the vehicle, the anticipated driving pattern, the expectations of the driver in that market segment and the relative emphasis placed on safety and performance. Technological advancements will ensure that future traction control systems will be more transparent, safer, lighter, more efficient and more complex in a 'systems' sense. This paper attempts to explain the control tactics and strategies and the philosophies behind various traction control systems. Towards this end, the paper also recounts for ready reference, the basic vehicle dynamics principles involved in the description of a vehicle's performance.
