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.ArtikelTerkait gambar : Mazda 2 dan CX-3 Baru Kini Dengan G-Vectoring Control. Tanggal : October 17th, 2016 06:58:46 AM.

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.

On a long trip all those little movements add up and can result in the driver feeling fatigued enough that they may have to take a small detour to their closest rest stop in order to get their second wind before continuing on their journey. Mazda’s-exclusive G-Vectoring Control GVC technology uses engine timing to control chassis dynamics, leading to smoother, more accurate steering inputs. GVC makes steering response more direct and linear by using a minute reduction of engine torque at turn-in to put extra weight on the front tires. Using super-fast computer processors, GVC calculates how much torque is needed to shift the weight back from the front to the rear of the car and vice versa. All of this happens automatically and seamlessly, so the driver feels confident and in control. The net result is less sawing the steering wheel back and forth to feel stable, whether on a winding mountain road or simply going straight on an uneven highway. This harmonious steering response between driver and vehicle is essential to Mazda’s Jinba Ittai—“horse and rider as one”—driving philosophy. Watch this video to learn more about G-Vectoring Control and the unique way Mazda engineers study subconscious human behaviors to create a driving experience with greater control, confidence and exhilaration.

Let’s face it The current automotive climate breeds lazy drivers see automatic cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and the decreasing availability of manual transmissions. So it seems incumbent upon us to celebrate genuine advancements that improve a driver’s ability to actually control a car with one’s own appendages, whether going fast on a racetrack or taking the family to the beach. There’s an interesting new one over at Mazda, where the driving forecast is brand from Hiroshima ranks remarkably high on the overall fun-to-drive scale, especially considering its size and resources. The Mazda 3 and the MX-5 Miata reside on the current 10Best Cars list and the Mazda 6 is a previous winner. The company’s SUVs drive like cars, and its interiors deliver visual punch a weight-class above their prices. In short, Mazda cares about making cars that people actually find enjoyable to drive themselves, which is why we flew to Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca, outside of Monterey, California, to go around the track at a mere 30 mph. Mazda wouldn’t even tell us what G-Vectoring Control GVC, the technology it planned to showcase, actually was before letting us sample it in the 2017-spec Mazda day started with laps of an impromptu oval in the parking lot at a blistering 20 mph. An engineer would switch the GVC on and off from the passenger seat. At first, GVC just feels as if it makes the steering a little heftier. But after a few of these cruise-controlled laps while hugging a line of pylons, we realized that turn-in is smoother and rarely did we have to correct our driving we were still in the dark about what GVC actually does. Given the name, you might expect it to be some kind of torque vectoring, or steering the car by controlling differential torque delivery between the inside and outside wheels in a corner, which is analogous to how tanks turn. But that’s not what GVC is doing. Mazda finally explained that the important part of GVC is the G, or as you see it frequently, g. By closely monitoring the speed of the driver’s steering-wheel inputs, GVC tells the engine to ever-so-slightly reduce torque. This produces an imperceptible deceleration, only g in the most extreme cases. By way of comparison, lifting off the throttle in a typical car results in about g of deceleration. The tiny change generates a small shift in load to the front axle, which tightens everything in the front suspension and steering system, removing compliance in bushings and dampers and resulting in improved steering response. It is remarkable how such a tiny influence can contribute such a dramatic change. Engineers hesitate to quote a lb-ft figure, but they did confirm that GVC reduces engine torque by a single-digit percentage, usually by retarding the timing. At a steady 20 or 30 mph, the 6’s might be putting out 20 lb-ft, so even 9 percent would be less than 2 lb-ft whole project was eight years in the making and it developed out of an extensive study of how humans move and how, when controlling cars, drivers make similar movements and react to g forces. After proving the concept with an EV—used because electric motors allow ultra-fine control of incremental torque delivery—Mazda had to wait for its range of Skyactiv engines to reach the mainstream before developing the technology for production cars. Mazda’s newest engines have granular and rapidly responsive control over torque output. Creating the slight deceleration is one thing, but getting it to happen in a small amount of time— seconds—so that the driver and passengers wouldn’t notice, is the real key to making GVC appear seamless to GVC mimics techniques, like “breathing” the throttle or left-foot braking into a corner, that race and rally drivers use to generate more front-wheel grip and get their competition cars to turn, only it’s extremely subtle, never felt or obvious. While going fast is always a hoot, GVC is more of a comfort- and confidence-builder than anything else. It will not improve skidpad grip or shave seconds off of any driver’s fastest lap explaining what GVC does, Mazda had us lap Mazda Raceway at 30 mph, hugging the inside edge of one corner to stay on the same line while an engineer in the passenger seat switched the GVC system on and off, as we’d been doing before on the parking lot oval. From the driver’s seat, there are fewer corrections needed, particularly when making quick changes in direction, when a driver might otherwise crank in too much steering angle. With GVC at work, you’re less likely to overshoot your steering input because there’s less delay caused by the previously mentioned compliance that’s designed into the front suspension and steering. That compliance is there to improve ride quality and reduce noise racers often replace the bushings and mounts with stiffer elements to improve responsiveness, trading away comfort in the process. From the passenger seat of a Mazda 6 with GVC, we clearly could see other drivers making fewer small steering corrections. This limits head toss and torso movements significantly for all occupants. Fewer corrections also reduce driver fatigue, again, improving also simulated a narrow-lane construction zone using tall cones and Jersey barriers on Mazda Raceway’s front straight. Many drivers never notice it, but going dead straight requires that they make a lot of little steering corrections. With GVC turned on, these corrections become less extreme and fewer in number, again reducing driver really difficult part for Mazda is conveying this information to the car-buying public. The finer points of how GVC works will be lost on most customers, which is not really a problem in itself. All they need to understand is that GVC improves an already class-leading steering system, making for a better-driving car. GVC comes standard on both the 2017 Mazda 3 and 6, and we expect to see it proliferate across the rest of the Mazda lineup within a few years. The Mazda MX-5 Miata is one model that may never get GVC because its suspension has less compliance and a lot of anti-lift baked into its geometry. But we have no doubt that Mazda will find other ways to make that car even more fun to drive in the coming Colwell is Car and Driver's executive editor, who covers new cars and technology with a keen eye for automotive nonsense and with what he considers to be great car sense, which is a humblebrag.
