Description of Vehicle Dynamics Synthetic Control: Description
- Vehicle Dynamics Synthetic Control is a system for inhibiting vehicle skidding during cornering. This system totally controls EPS and 4WD systems prior to activation of ESP® control, which is activated based on BCM judgement of vehicle driving conditions.
- BCM calculates a target (driver's target) yaw rate (the vehicle cornering speed) based on the vehicle speed and the steering angle signal. It detects the degree of oversteering/understeering during cornering based on the signal difference between the target yaw rate and the actual one, and it inhibits oversteering/understeering and assists in stabilizing the vehicle. Furthermore, if the vehicle is judged to be unsteady (severe oversteering/understeering) to the degree it cannot be controlled with vehicle dynamics synthetic control, the vehicle is switched to ESP® control.
