- The system described proportions the brake force at each wheel according to the dynamic load on that wheel in a corner or manoeuvre. Brake pressure is modulated when the brakes are applied in a corner and also when a severe steering input is made whilst braking in a straight line.The paper discusses the need for such a system and presents an analysis of system performance on a typical passenger car. Changes to the oversteer/understeer characteristics of the vehicle are also analysed.The system is currently under development and has been fitted experimentally to three vehicles. Test results from one of these vehicles are presented.
