ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting a bank angle experienced by a motor vehicle (10) is disclosed. Three estimates of the vehicle bank angle, .gamma..sub.a, .gamma..omega. and .gamma..sub..nu. are determined from separate data and are then used to determine an estimate of the bank angle BIAS. The bank angle BIAS is then combined with one of the three bank angle estimates to determine a final bank angle estimate, .gamma..sub.final, to be used to modify the vehicle's yaw control calculations in accordance therewith.
