Abstract

To enhance both vehicle stability and steerability, vehicle dynamic parameters such as vehicle side slip angle, road friction coefficient, and tire side forces were precisely estimated in real time; and, utilizing four wheel slip control, a logic for optimizing vehicle dynamics was formulated. Tests on ice-and snow-covered roads demonstrated the effectiveness of the control, and confirmed the validity of the logic.
