Abstract :
The paper presents a method for using GPS measurements to improve vehicle dynamic stability control systems. GPS can be used to calculate the sideslip angle of a vehicle directly. This measurement is combined with inertial sensor measurements to provide information for the lateral motion control of the vehicle. This paper presents the technical principle, validation through test results and the evaluation of potential benefits of such an "INS/GPS" setup. As a result of the extended measuring capabilities a more effective stability control becomes possible. The results show an excellent performance that should be exploited in future automotive applications.
