Source text - English Three letters that could save your life: ESP®
On 25 July 2007, Bosch and other European eSafetyAware member organization launched ‘ChooseESC!’ in UK to raise awareness of the life-saving vehicle technology, ESC. ESC is the generic term for electronic stability control systems, such as ESP® from Bosch. ESC can reduce the risk of skidding by as much as 80%.
About ESP®
Considered as the most important safety system since the introduction of the seatbelt, ESP® was developed in 1995 by Bosch to prevent vehicles skidding in emergency situations and during road accidents.
Why is prevention of skidding so significant? Sixty per cent of fatal traffic accidents are caused by skidding – which usually happens when a driver is taken by surprise. For example, a child could run into the road
or a car could suddenly change lanes ahead - and the driver begins to lose control or starts to swerve or skid across the road. Equally, skidding could be caused by slippery roads. In all these situations, ESC deploys the vehicle’s individual wheel brakes to put the car back on track, and prevents it from skidding or spinning out of control.
Most small to medium sized cars do not have ESC fitted as standard equipment. As it is not possible to fit ESC retrospectively, it is vital
that anyone thinking of buying a new car checks that it includes ESC.
Translation - Slovak Tri písmená, ktoré vám môžu zachrániť život: ESP®
25. júla 2007 odštarovala spoločnosť Bosch spolu s ďalšími členskými organizáciami európskeho zoskupenia eSafetyAware v Británii kampaň ‘ChooseESC!’ (Zvoľ si ESC!). Jej cieľom bolo zvýšiť verejné povedomie o automobilových technológiách, ktoré môžu zachrániť ľudské životy. ESC je všeobecný termín pre elektronické systémy na kontrolu stability ako je ESP®, ktorý vyšiel z dielne spoločnosti Bosch. ESC môže znížiť riziko šmyku až o 80 percent.
Niečo o ESP®
Je považovaný za jeden z najvýznamnejších bezpečnostných systémov od zavedenia bezpečnostných pásov. ESP® vyvinula spoločnosť Bosch v roku 1995 a jeho hlavnou úlohou je predísť šmyku auta v krízových situáciách a pri nehodách.
Prečo je prevencia šmyku taká dôležitá? 60 percent smrteľných nehôd na cestách spôsobuje práve šmyk, ku ktorému dochádza zvyčajne, keď je šofér prekvapený. Napríklad – na cestu môže vbehnúť dieťa alebo auto vpredu nečakane prejde do iného pruhu – a prekvapený šofér stratí kontrolu nad vozidlom, vybočí z cesty alebo dostane šmyk. K šmykom dochádza aj na mokrej vozovke. V takýchto situáciách systém ESC aktivuje brzdy jednotlivých kolies, aby auto vyrovnal a zabránil šmyku alebo nekontrolovanej rotácii.
Väčšina menších a stredne veľkých automobilov nemá ESC v základnej výbave. Keďže tento systém sa nedá namontovať dodatočne, je veľmi dôležité, aby sa každý, kto si kupuje nové auto, ubezpečil, že jeho vozidlo už ESC má.
