A study on heavy duty truck stability control by braking force control

Nowadays we are discussing a vehicle stability control system which freely controls the braking force of each wheel to apply the yaw moment and decelerate the vehicle. The system drastically improves the vehicle cornering performance and stabilizes the vehicle behaviour in its critical area. This paper discusses points to notice in the case of applying this technique for heavy duty trucks, and describes the possibility of the stabilization for vehicle cornering behavior of a heavy duty truck.
