Abstract
A vehicle control system for reducing turn radius of a vehicle may include a speed sensor to determine a vehicle speed, a steering angle sensor to determine turn angle, and a controller operably coupled to the speed sensor and the steering angle sensor to determine a tight turn event based on the vehicle speed and the turn angle, responsive to the tight turn event, determine driving surface information for a surface on which the vehicle is operating, and set a target speed for an inside rear wheel of the vehicle during a turn causing the determination of the tight turn event based on the driving surface information.
