Abstract
A system and method for independently controlling the braking force applied to each wheel of an automobile based on the lesser of two target braking force calculations intended to produce a desired vehicular motion. The first target braking force is based upon steering angle and vehicle sped, and is calculated so as to achieve a target value of a preselected motion variable, such as yaw rate, corresponding to the desired vehicular motion. The second target braking force is based upon individual wheel speed and is intended to maintain within a predetermined slip rate at least one wheel of the vehicle.
