As Dave Coleman, a Mazda North America chassis engineer, pointed out: “if you make a car really direct, really intuitive, really linear, it’s better for everybody in the car”. 7. And so the Application Of Single Phase Induction Motor. An ingenious new Mazda technology called G-Vectoring Control emulates race-car driver weight-transfer techniques to make road-going cars driven by mere mortals handle better and make passengers feel more comfortable. Every time the driver turns the steering wheel, GVC shifts a tiny amount of weight to the outside front tire, which improves grip and steering response. The result is less sawing at the steering wheel to find the right path through a turn, or less effort to keep the car pointed straight on the highway. G-Vectoring Control is not just another over-hyped modest performance tweak. Mazda appears to have developed a significant electronic driver enhancer. The driver and passengers will subconsciously believe the car handles better it actually does and the driver is a better driver possibly. It is a significant step forward for Mazda in making mid-price cars and crossovers carve corners like high-end German sport sedans and maintain arrow-straight stability on long, straight highways. Mazda G-Vectoring Control debuts on 2017 Mazda 6 and Mazda 3, with the rest of the line to follow over the next couple years. How it works instantaneous change to ignition timing When a car slows or brakes, the weight shifts forward. That's physics. The weight transfer puts weight on the front wheels, so they grip better and turn in a little more. Race drivers are taught to brake just a little heading into a turn to initiate the weight transfer. Mazda GVC automates the process. As soon as the driver turns the wheel, Mazda's SkyActiv engine management system - which includes the GVC algorithms as part of what Mazda calls SkyActiv Vehicle Dynamics - retards the ignition timing ever so slightly, engine torque power falls slightly, the car slows ever so slightly, and a small amount of weight transfers to the outside front wheel such as the right front wheel if the steering wheel is turned to the left, as in the illustration above. All this takes place in less than 50 milliseconds one-twentieth of a second from steering wheel input to torque reduction, so it's effectively instantaneous. A Formula 1 race driver couldn't do all that in 50 ms. The change in speed is so slight, to Mazda says, that "deceleration is not consciously detectable by the driver." The amount of weight transfer is at most 10 pounds, but it's enough. Mazda found that using the brakes to slow the outer front wheel took too long and was imprecise too much or too little braking, as did slowing the engine in other ways, such as reducing fuel flow. [video width="640" height="360" mp4=" How it feels behind the wheel Mazda set up a series of demonstrations in Monterey, CA, at the Mazda Laguna Seca Raceway using a set of instrumented Mazda 6 sedans outfitted with an on/off button for GVC, and a laptop-equipped backseat technician that videotaped and recorded steering wheel input for back-to-back laps with GVC on, then off. The A-B testing included a emergency lane change slalom, an oval, a water-soaked high speed turn, and a narrow lane set off by cones on one side and the famous racetrack's unforgiving concrete wall protecting pit road. The video above shows a 30-second oval driven at the same moderate speed with G-Vectoring Control on and off. Notice the more frequent micro-corrections of the wheel with GVC off. With GVC disabled, the driver is likely to turn in too much or too little, over-correct, correct for the over-correction, and so forth. Those more frequent sawing motions at the wheel are on the right video. The line chart shows the greater smoothness with GVC enabled blue line, especially the first half of the lap. Where the blue line diverges in the middle, I swung wide to set up for the second turn, a no-no; drivers were supposed to hug the inside of the course all the way around, each lap. On the oval the most notable difference was how little steering input corrections I had to make going around the turns. On the long narrow lane on the track's main straight, the difference was how stable and centered the car seemed, almost as if the lane was a couple feet wider. On the highway, that should translate to a car that seems to go where you want it to straight ahead with fewer corrections. [metaslider id=230844] Back story equilibrioception and minimum jerk theory Mazda has been working on GVC for eight years, much of it in conjunction with Hitachi, according to Mazda vehicle development engineer Dave Coleman. That included deep-dive research into how drivers and passengers react to the forces of motion. One topic of study was equilibrioception, or how people maintain and lose their sense of balance. People walking or running like to keep their heads straight upright the brain corrects for normal head bobbing, and doing that serves as the body's internal G-sensor. See the YouTube video Chicken Head Tracking below for proof that other parts of the animal kingdom want to keep their heads straight up, too. The minimum jerk theory was also studied and, no, it has nothing to do with who's likely to win Election 2016. Basically, human motion includes jerky motion that we try to smooth out as much as possible. Driver and passenger are upset by jerky motion, which Mazda says is not velocity going a steady 60 mph even though the roadside looking out may be a blur, nor is it the delta change in velocity, which is described as acceleration. Rather, "jerk" is the change in acceleration, and it shows itself in repeated sharp little steering wheel adjustments, or pressing softer then harder on the brakes, or pressing more then less on the throttle. With a turbocharged car, when you tromp the throttle, the car moves off and the jerk moment comes a fraction of a second later when the turbo boost finally takes effect. Jerk motion is unsettling. Turning into a corner involves at least a small jerk, and each time the driver corrects again, there's another jerk. With GVC, there are fewer mid-turn corrections. G-Vectoring Control vs. torque vectoring Mazda says G-Vectoring is not the same as torque vectoring. Torque vectoring is a mechanical or brake-induced action to over-drive the outer powered wheel going around a corner, effectively powering the car through the turn. Mechanical torque vectoring can add 100 pounds or more or weight to the car not to the driven outer wheel. Brake-controlled torque vectoring brakes the inside wheel, effectively overpowering the outer wheel in comparison. According to Mazda chart above, G-Vectoring Control has the advantage of working in more situations than torque vectoring, most of all in everyday conditions where it makes the car seem more stable and on-course. Why G-Vectoring Control matters Mazda is an engineering-driven company that sees itself the equal of Toyota or Honda, albeit with one-fifth the sales. To close the sales gap with them and at the same time try to be thought of as a mid-priced BMW competitor, Mazda does intriguing things with software to make its cars drive better and react more quickly than even the most skilled driver can. Thus, G-Vectoring Control. Before GVC happened, Mazda tuned its i-Activ all-wheel-drive system for what it believes is best-in-class winter driving, employing several dozen sensors to capture and respond to wheel-slip before even the driver notices it, again in a few milliseconds. In a series of tests in mountainous Colorado at the Mazda Ice Academy photo inset, the Mazda CX-5 conquered hills and slippery slaloms better than competing SUVs. Admittedly, on courses Mazda designed. Based on a day of driving several Mazda cars at Laguna Seca, Mazda makes a strong case that GVC is a feature you'll want to have. It's one more part of Mazda's pursuit of Jinba Ittai, a Japanese phrase that roughly translates to "horse and rider as one," "oneness between car and driver," or the car as an extension of the driver's desires. When can you buy GVC? Mazda says G-Vectoring Control will first be available on the 2017 midsize Mazda 6 sedan and the compact Mazda 3. Mazda will outfit the entire line within "a couple years." It's not possible to retrofit current Mazdas. While it's a software enhancement to the Mazda SkyActiv engine control module, there are also subtle tweaks to the suspension and steering. GVC will eventually be on all Mazdas, standard, and unlike the test cars, they'll be always on no off button. An interesting possibility is what happens if other automakers want GVC to use on their cars. So far, Mazda hasn't said if it would license GVC or a variant. There have been times in the past when one company had a technology everyone else wanted, such as Mitsubishi's counter-rotating balancer shafts that reduced the vibration inherent in four-cylinder engines. [embed width="640" height="360"] Tagged In Torque Vectoring Mazda Car Software Mazda6 Car Technology More from Cars Good news Mazda, a company that always seems to be doing a little more for those of us who appreciate driving dynamics, will deploy its newest piece of technology, called G-Vectoring Control GVC, as a standard feature in all trim levels for 2017 model year Mazda6 and Mazda3 products. Eventually, GVC, an advanced form of chassis management, will be standard on every Mazda I explain how GVC works, though, it helps to remember that Mazda really does see itself as a company of enthusiasts building cars for enthusiasts. It has made hero cars, the fantastic little MX-5 and performance RX models, but its entire lineup drives and handles a little better than similar models from Toyota, Honda, or Nissan. General Motors and Ford, as well, for that matter. Full disclosure I know the company sees itself as a bunch of enthusiasts because I worked at Mazda headquarters in Hiroshima from 2002 to 2005. I saw it up close. The Mazda people are always carrying on about Jinba Ittai—the idea of horse and rider as one—but it's not just idle talk. They go after it. Mazda is the only Japanese automaker to hinge its throttle pedals to the floor, not hung from above as is common practice, in all their vehicles. Why? Better control, a more linear response. To Mazda, that matters. To people that care about driving, that matters. The new G-Vectoring Control technology is a bit like a throttle pedal hinged on the floor, another small step forward in Mazda's march to even better driving dynamics. So what does it do? MazdaThe physics behind GVC are pretty simple To achieve the car's natural cornering posture, you increase the vertical load on the front tires by triggering a slight deceleration. Done right, this forward pitch longitudinal g-force, is very natural and something you may already do on a race track or canyon road—breathe the throttle to prepare for a fast corner, help the front tires get the car into the corner more smoothly. Breathing the throttle or brushing the brakes will create noticeable longitudinal g-force. You and your passengers can feel the car pitch forward. But what if that longitudinal g-force was more subtle and happening nearly every time you turned the wheel? That's what Mazda asked. And kept asking for the past eight years while hunting an answer. Engineers initially went down the path of lightly—very lightly—applying brakes every time the driver turned the wheel, but that was an impossible solution too slow to react and not natural, mainly. There were other issues. It was a dead end. This content is imported from youTube. You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web it chased development work on an electric Mazda2 known as a Demio in Japan, creating a way to slightly reduce torque output of the electric motor with each steering input, neatly marrying longitudinal g-force created by torque reduction with lateral g-force created by steering input. And that was the breakthrough using the powertrain to improve chassis dynamics. In the 2017 Mazda6 and Mazda3, the GVC system is essentially monitoring three parameters vehicle speed, throttle position, and rate of steering wheel rotation. Turn the steering wheel even the smallest amount and the system goes to work, reacting in less than 50 milliseconds, minutely reducing engine torque by retarding spark timing. The result is an increased vertical load on the front SegalAt maximum, the system will deliver .05 g of deceleration, enough to generate a measure of longitudinal g-force but generally below the threshold of human perception. F1 driver Lewis Hamilton, a super human, may feel it. This moment of longitudinal g-force, married to the lateral g-force created by steering input, is where Mazda says the magic happens. The result a more natural vehicle cornering posture for improved turn-in performance. Does it work? Well, yes. But you have to go to the data to see it. Mazda let us drive a Mazda6 rigged with a GVC "on-off" switch. In production, the system will be invisible, part of the software package and with no "off" switch. We drove a number of different scenarios including a simple parking-lot oval—two tight, constant-radius turns connected by short straights—at speeds between 20 and 35 mph with cruise control switched on to deliver a constant speed. With the GVC system on, the data showed less steering wheel the GVC system on, the data showed less steering wheel movement, indicating the initial turn-in moment for each maneuver was more precise and needed less mid-maneuver correction. And that's the goal improved steering performance at nearly all speeds and in nearly every condition. On slippery surfaces, the difference is more noticeable. Mazda is quick to point out GVC is not a torque vectoring system. Technically, torque vectoring from Acura, Audi, Ford, and the like are "active yaw control" systems. They help a car rotate by altering torque delivered to a single wheel. In a left-hand turn, for example, the hybrid Acura NSX will instruct the electric motor powering its front-right wheel to add more torque, pushing the vehicle to the left and into the corner. Morgan Segal Done correctly, torque vectoring can be wonderful. But Mazda does not embrace the solution, as it finds it unnatural and disruptive to the purity of their driving dynamics. Further, torque vectoring systems are often set up to help only at higher speeds. This is not to discount torque vectoring—not at all. It's just not a solution Mazda loves. It went its own path. G-Vectoring Control, Mazda believes, is a pure solution and can improve dynamic feel with every steering input at nearly ever speed. The only time G-Vectoring Control is not activated by steering movement is when the driver is completely off throttle. GVC is a unique solution and, more to the point, it personifies Mazda. In the same way Honda will constantly hunt for another 5 millimeters of cargo space in back of an HR-V, Mazda will pursue every incremental improvement in driving pleasure. To Mazda, that's the righteous pursuit. And what makes Mazda very Mazda. By Rianna Thurling 15 November 2021 Along with the release of the Mazda3 and Mazda6, Mazda has unveiled their latest advancement in driving technology – G-Vectoring Control. Inspired by the philosophy of Jinb a-Ittai horse and rider as one’, Mazda has endeavoured to give drivers even greater control and feedback when braking, accelerating and turning. How does G-Vectoring Control Work? This first addition to the SKYACTIV-VEHICLE DYNAMICS series offers drivers greater control over the car by adjusting the lateral and longitudinal acceleration forces together. In doing so, the engine torque is adjusted in response to steering inputs and controls the vertical loading on each tyre. When the car begins turning, the vertical load is shifted to the front tyres by generating a deceleration G-force. As a result, the front-wheel grip is increased, improving the vehicle’s responsiveness. If a consistent steering angle is maintained, the G-Vectoring Control recovers the engine torque, transferring the load to the rear wheels to enhance stability. These small adjustments offer the driver greater confidence in the car’s ability to follow their intentions, reducing the need for corrections. However, the subtlety of G-Vectoring Control means there is zero driver or passenger discomfort. The Benefits 1 Increased Driver Confidence The innovative G-Vectoring Control Systems allows drivers to feel confident that the car will follow their intended line precisely. This applies not only to turning, but also to the minute changes in direction caused by road surface irregularities. The slight force redistribution made by the G-Vectoring Control greatly reduces the need for driver corrections. 2 Reduced Fatigue The need to constantly make minor – often unconscious – corrections while driving is one of the key factors that contributes to driver fatigue. On long journeys, the reduced need for corrections created by the G-Vectoring Control means drivers will feel more alert. 3 Increased Comfort On top of reduced fatigue, the G-Vectoring Control System creates a smoother transition between G-forces. This reduces body and head sway, providing a more comfortable ride. 4 Greater Peace of Mind The ability of the G-Vectoring Control to enhance both handling and stability simultaneously also provides improved control in adverse conditions. When driving in rain, or on ice, snow or poor road conditions, G-Vectoring Control helps to stabilise the vehicle and improve the tyre grip. This increased stability will give drivers peace of mind in any conditions. 5 No Additional Weight As G-Vectoring Control is a software-based technology, it requires no additional space or weight. Instead, it utilises Mazda’s SKYACTIV-engines, SKYACTIV-transmissions and SKYACTIV-chassis to create this improved G-force distribution. G-Vectoring Control is available now in both the Mazda3, Mazda6 and all-new Mazda CX-5.
