Abstract:
1. A control system for an automotive vehicle having a vehicle body comprising: a roll angle generator generating a relative roll angle signal; a plurality of sensors generating a plurality of sensor signals; a safety system; and a controller coupled to roll angle generator and the plurality of sensors, said controller generating a linear road bank angle, first reference bank angle and a relative roll angle in response to the roll angle generator and the plurality of sensor signals, said controller determining a first reference road bank angle and generating a second reference road bank angle in response to the linear road bank angle, the first reference road bank angle and a bank angle adjustment factor, said controller generating said bank angle adjustment factor as a function of the relative roll angle, said controller controlling the safety system in response to the second reference road bank angle estimate.
