Electronic Stability Control

Abstract

This TOP prescribes procedures for testing the electronic stability control system of two-axle vehicles up to 11,793 kg (26,000 lb) for speeds up to 81 km/hr (50 mph). Major factors to be considered when testing the yaw and roll stability of wheeled vehicles are their capability and behavior during sudden obstacle avoidance actions. Electronic stability control systems are employed on some vehicles to mitigate oversteer (or spin-out) and rollover. The sine-with-dwell steering maneuver was developed as an objective test of vehicle stability and electronic stability control system performance.
