Abstract
A system for and a method of controlling the stability of a vehicle includes an electronic control system controlling a vehicle stability control subsystem based at least in part on static tire data received by the electronic control unit.
Claims24
A system for controlling the stability of a vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle stability control subsystem including components of the vehicle that affect stability of the vehicle during operation;
- a tire having an ID tag containing data about at least one static characteristic of said tire;
- and
- an electronic control unit coupled in communication with said ID tag to receive the data contained in said ID tag, said electronic control unit being programmed to calculate at least one of a wheel speed, a vehicle speed, a yaw rate and a sideslip based at least in part upon the data received by said electronic control unit from said ID tag, said electronic control unit being programmed to control said vehicle stability control subsystem based at least in part upon the calculation(s) made by said electronic control unit based upon the data received by said electronic control unit from said ID tag.
