Abstract
Method of measuring the yaw velocity of a vehicle. An estimate of the yaw velocity is made by either a gyrometer or a steering angle sensor. This estimate is selectively readjusted when a fixed obstacle is sensed using periodic updates of the longitudinal speed of the vehicle, the distance from the fixed obstacle and the relative transverse speed of the obstacle.
