Abstract
A method and system, for use with a vehicle including a pair of front wheels, a pair of rear wheels, and an anti-lock brake system (ABS), for detecting when the vehicle is executing a turning maneuver. The system includes means for performing the method steps of determining a speed difference between one pair of the vehicle wheels, determining the deceleration of each of the one pair of vehicle wheels, comparing the speed difference to a turning detection threshold, comparing the decelerations to a deceleration threshold, and detecting a turning maneuver based on those comparisons.
