Electronic stability control system and method for vehicle

Abstract

An electronic stability control system for a vehicle is disclosed. The electronic stability control system for a vehicle may include: first, second, third, and fourth acceleration sensors mounted on each wheel of the vehicle to detect the lateral acceleration and vertical acceleration of the corresponding wheel; a controller configured to be connected to first, second, third, and fourth acceleration sensors and receives lateral accelerations and vertical accelerations of the four wheels, calculate maximum values of lateral accelerations of front and rear wheels and lateral tire stiffness of the front and rear wheels considering load movement based on the lateral accelerations and vertical accelerations of the four wheels, calculate side slip angles of the front and rear wheels and a difference between the side slip angles of the front and rear wheels based on maximum values of lateral angular velocities of the front and rear wheels and the lateral tire stiffness of the front and rear wheels considering load movement, and determine brake pressure and a target wheel to which the brake pressure is to be applied in response to the difference between the side slip angles of the front and rear wheels exceeding a set value; and an actuator configured to receive a control signal from the controller and apply the brake pressure to the target wheel. An electronic stability control method for a vehicle using the electronic stability control system is further disclosed.
