Abstract: A method for controlling a roadwheel actuator (RWA) of a vehicle includes, using one or more processors, determining an expected cornering state of the vehicle by determining at least one of an expected yaw rate an expected lateral acceleration of the vehicle, determining an actual cornering state of the vehicle by determining at least one of an actual yaw rate and an actual lateral acceleration of the vehicle, determining a cornering state error based on the expected cornering state of the vehicle and the actual cornering state of the vehicle, generating an RWA control signal based on the cornering state error, and controlling at least one function of the vehicle using the RWA control signal.
