Steering Angle Sensor: Description and Operation






DESCRIPTION

Under transient cornering conditions the lateral acceleration sensor does not measure the true sway force on the car. In order to compensate for this the system uses the driver's steering command (Steering angle sensor) and vehicle speed to estimate the true sway force. This signal is matched with the lateral acceleration sensor signal to ensure a significantly-reduced transient sway of the vehicle body.
