Abstract
This invention provides an arrangement which compensates for the dynamic effects of cross winds on the steering of a vehicle. A single differential pressure sensor is connected with pressure measuring points arranged symmetrically on the forward portion of the vehicle body. The differential pressure detected by the pressure sensor is used to determine the yaw angle velocity and acceleration caused by the force of the cross wind on the vehicle body, which information is provided to a steering control element that adjusts the steering angle of the vehicle to reduce the yaw angle to approach zero.
