  • Publication number: 20230286492
    Abstract: A system for mitigating a sway of a trailer. The system includes a sensor set configured to sense a plurality of operating characteristics of a vehicle and an electronic processor connected to the sensor set. The electronic processor is configured to receive the plurality of operating characteristics from the sensor set, determine whether the trailer is swaying based on the plurality of operating characteristics, determine, in response to the trailer swaying, a target deceleration, determine, in response to the trailer swaying, a target yaw value, and modify a current yaw value to counter the trailer sway until reaching the target yaw value.

  • Patent number: 11279356
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a vehicle. The system includes a plurality of sensors and an electronic controller. The electronic controller is configured to receive data from the plurality of sensors and determine a target vehicle travel direction of the vehicle based on the received data. The electronic controller then determines a heading error based on the target travel direction, determines a heading error derivative, and generates a vehicle control command based on the heading error and the heading error derivative.
