An Enhancement to an Electronic Stability Control System to Include a Rollover Control Function

This paper proposes a method to enhance existing electronic stability control systems such that a certain level of rollover mitigation performance is achieved. Such an enhancement is conducted through a control algorithm using only the standard ESC sensors. The analysis presented here reveals that a rollover mitigation system such as this will face a trade-off between the vehicle's responsiveness and the control robustness due to error in the roll dynamics model and state estimation.
