ESP is the most powerful control system in terms of safety. The system influences the yaw behavior of the vehicle by adjusting the slip amount of each wheel. Different control systems are subordinated to the ESP. ABS reduces the braking distance while maintaining the
steerability. The traction control optimizes the propulsion and the stability in acceleration.

The functionality of roll over avoidance is particularly important for off road vehicles with high center of gravity and soft suspension.

An other well known system is the four wheel drive control. The torque distribution between front and rear axle will influence the traction as well as the vehicle behavior.

Steering control systems can be implemented at the front axle or at the rear. Both improve the steerability of the car.
