Abstract

See full text

A stability control system (18) for an automotive vehicle includes a plurality of sensors (28-39) sensing the dynamic conditions of the vehicle. The sensors may include a speed sensor (20), a lateral acceleration sensor (32), a roll rate sensor (34), a yaw rate sensor (20) and a longitudinal acceleration sensor (36). The controller (26) is coupled to the speed sensor (20), the lateral acceleration sensor (32), the roll rate sensor (34), the yaw rate sensor (28) and a longitudinal acceleration sensor (36). The controller (26) has an anti-integration drift filter and a steady state recovery filter. The controller determines a roll attitude angle, a pitch attitude angle and a yaw attitude angle in response to the roll angular rate signal, the yaw angular rate signal, the lateral acceleration signal, the longitudinal acceleration signal, the wheel speed signal, the anti-integration drift filter and the steady state recovery filter.
