ESP (Electronic Stability Program) is more comprehensive, and far more intelligent, than traction control. Traction control was originally developed only to assist in traction while accelerating, but was later extended to grip in cornering too. ESP systems even have steering angle sensors for info on which direction the driver wants to go to!!

EBD is different.....it only applies different levels of braking to each wheel, when the car is braking, to minimise stopping distance.
