Abstract
There is disclosed a method for integrating a vehicle stability enhancement system and rear wheel steering. The method includes inputting a vehicle speed and measured vehicle yaw rates. Determining a front and rear wheel steer angle. Calculating a desired yaw rate. Comparing the measured yaw rate with the desired yaw rate to determine a yaw error term. Applying a braking force to a wheel of a vehicle imparting a yaw moment based upon the magnitude of the error term calculated. The rear wheel steer angle is taken into account in calculating a desired yaw rate.
