Abstract

An electronic controller applies a braking force to selected wheels when sudden tire rupture is detected. A tire rupture signal indicative of whether a tire on the vehicle has ruptured is generated. Signals corresponding to a desired trajectory of the and the actual trajectory of the vehicle are calculated. Corresponding brake actuator signals are generated and applied to appropriate brakes of the vehicle, controlling the actual trajectory of the vehicle.
