The Friction Oracle:
Zero-Slip Launch Control

Don't cut the power. Surf the limit. See how estimating surface friction ($\mu$) in real-time allows for a perfect 0-100 km/h launch on ice without wasted watts.

Power is nothing without control. Traditional Traction Control Systems (TCS) are fundamentally broken because they are Reactive.

When a wheel hits ice, it spins. The standard ECU panics, cuts the torque to zero (the "head-nod" effect), and then slowly reapplies power until it slips again. This creates a violent "Sawtooth" profile of acceleration—wasting momentum, time, and passenger comfort.

The Solution: The Friction Oracle

Bangsaen AI does not wait for the slip. We estimate the Maximum Friction Coefficient ($\mu_{max}$) of the surface in real-time using the Koopman Operator.

Instead of cutting power after a slip, we clamp the motor torque exactly at the Physics Limit. We don't punish the engine; we optimize it.

// THE OPTIMAL TORQUE EQUATION

$$ T_{optimal} = \mu_{est} \cdot F_{normal} \cdot r_{tire} $$

Where $\mu_{est}$ is derived from the Latent Physics Manifold of the wheel dynamics, ensuring $ Slip \approx 0 $ while maintaining maximum thrust.

PID vs Oracle Traction Control
Figure 1: Launch on Ice ($\mu=0.2$).
Red (Standard): Violent "Sawtooth" oscillation. Power is cut repeatedly.
Orange (Oracle): Perfect "Flatline" torque delivery. Surfing the physics limit.
>>> SURFACE MU ESTIMATED: 0.20 >>> PHYSICS LIMIT: 582 NM >>> TORQUE CLAMP ACTIVE >>> ZERO SLIP LAUNCH >>> ACCELERATION OPTIMIZED >>> NO POWER LOSS >>>
"Don't fight the slide. Calculate it. If you know the limit, you can surf it without slipping."

The data speaks for itself. The Standard TCS (Red) struggles to reach 11 km/h, while the Bangsaen Oracle (Orange) hits 17.5 km/h in the same 5-second window on ice. That is a 60% improvement in acceleration simply by replacing the control algorithm.
