Patent ID: 7373227

Claim:
A control system for an automotive vehicle comprising: a housing; a sensor cluster within said housing comprising three angular rate sensors generating angular rate signals and three linear acceleration sensors generating linear acceleration signals, wherein said three angular rate sensors and said three linear acceleration sensors comprise an IMU; a wheel speed sensor generating a wheel speed signal corresponding to a wheel speed of the vehicle; a steering angle sensor generating a steering angle signal; an integrated controller receiving said angular rate signals, said linear acceleration signals, said wheel speed signal, and said steering angle signal, said integrated controller generating an vehicle frame signal as a function of said angular rate signals, said linear acceleration signals, said wheel speed signal, and said steering angle signal; a vehicle dynamic controller receiving said vehicle frame signal and generating a side slip angle signal as a function thereof; and a yaw stability control system receiving said side slip angle signal, and a driver's intention signal, said yaw stability control system operating a braking device in response thereto.
