Abstract: A system for determining an angular position of a steerable wheel of a vehicle can include a plurality of sensors and a controller in electrical communication with each of these sensors. The controller can be configured to compare a first data set and a second data set to respective straight path conditions, wherein the first data set includes data from a first set of the sensors and the second data includes data from a second set of the sensors. The controller can be configured to determine a substantially straight path of travel condition when the comparison of at least one of the first data set and the second data set satisfies the respective straight path conditions, and can then associate that data acquired from the steering angle sensor(s) with a neutral position.

Abstract: A system for determining an angular position of a pair of steerable wheels of a vehicle having a plurality of wheels can include a yaw rate sensor, a pair of wheel speed sensors and a controller. The yaw rate sensor can be configured to output data representative of an angular velocity of the vehicle about a vertical axis of the vehicle. Each of the pair of wheel speed sensors can be configured to output data representative of a rotational velocity of a respective one of the plurality of wheels. The controller can be in electrical communication with each of the pair of wheel speed sensors and the yaw rate sensor.
