Abstract:
1. A control system for a vehicle having a propulsion system supplying torque to driven wheels, and an electronic control unit (ECU), the control system comprising: a speed sensor generating a vehicle speed signal; a wheel angle sensor generating a wheel angle signal which represents an angle of the steered wheels; and a vehicle position sensor generating a vehicle position signal, the ECU determining an expected yaw-rate as a function of the wheel angle signal and the vehicle speed signal, the ECU determining a yaw-rate error as a function of a difference between the vehicle position signal and the expected yaw-rate, determining a speed limit as a function of the yaw-rate error, and in response to the speed limit, and controlling the propulsion system so that the vehicle speed is not greater than the speed limit.
