Cornering Brake Control
Cornering Brake Control ( CBC ; German Cornering Brake Control ) is one of BMW used since 1997 driving stability when braking assistance based on the anti-lock system is built.
When braking in curves, the centripetal force relieves the pressure on the wheels on the inside of the curve. This can lead to overbraking and the vehicle turning into a curve. The system counteracts this effect by separately controlling the braking pressure for each wheel in terms of strength and response speed when braking in bends. To detect cornering, it uses the data from the ABS sensors on the wheels (the wheels on the inside of the curve turn more slowly), but also intervenes below the ABS control range. Apart from generally safe cornering braking behavior, the effect of the CBC is not perceptible either with or without the use of ABS.
