  • Stability control method and system for use when driving on a low-? surface
    Patent number: 8738265
    Abstract: A system and a method for assisting a driver of a vehicle to turn the vehicle when driving during low-mu surface conditions. The vehicle has a steering system, a plurality of wheels and a brake system allowing individual braking of the respective wheels of the vehicle. The system comprises a controller arranged to detect if the vehicle accelerates after the brakes of the vehicle have been applied, and detect a driver command to turn the vehicle in either direction. If both detections are positive the controller is further arranged to release the brake force on a side of the vehicle opposite to the detected turning command direction.
