kontrol stabilitas elektronik (inggris:electronic stability control atau disebut esp) adalah sebuah teknologi terkomputerisasi [a. t. van zanten, "bosch esp systems: 5 years of experience", sae 2000-01-1633][e. k. liebemann, k. meder, j.
schuh and g. nenninger, "safety and performance enhancement: the bosch electronic stability control (esp)."
sae 2004-21-0060.] yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan keamanan dari sisi pengendalian mobil dengan cara mendeteksi dan meminimalisir slip.
ketika kontrol ini mendeteksi adanya kehilangan kontrol pengendalian, maka dengan otomatis sistem ini akan membantu rem untuk mengendalikan mobil.
sistem pengereman langsung berjalan ke masing-masing roda, rem roda depan akan mencegah oversteer dan rem roda belakang mencegah understeer.
kadang, sistem ini juga mengurangi tenaga mesin sampai mobilnya terkontrol kembali.
menurut iihs dan nhtsa (badan regulasi keselamatan otomotif as), sepertiga dari total kecelakaan fatal dapat dicegah oleh teknologi ini.
"electronic stability control could prevent nearly one-third of all fatal crashes and reduce rollover risk by as much as 80%; effect is found on single- and multiple-vehicle crashes," iihs news release, 2006 jennifer n. dang, "preliminary results analyzing the effectiveness of electronic stability control(esc) systems," dot hs 809 790, 2004
kontrol stabilitas elektronik adalah nama umum yang dikenali oleh asosiasi produsen mobil eropa (acea), society of automotive engineers (sae) (amerika utara), asosiasi produsen mobil jepang, dan lembaga dunia lainnya.
