ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling a roll control system includes monitoring the position of a steering mechanism of a vehicle. A rate of change of the position of the steering mechanism is determined. The rate of change is compared to a change threshold value. The lateral acceleration of a vehicle is monitored. The lateral acceleration is compared to an acceleration threshold value. A roll control system having at least one of a front and a rear actuator is controlled based at least in part upon the comparisons of the rate of change of the steering mechanism to the change threshold value and the lateral acceleration to the acceleration threshold value. The front and rear actuators are controlled independently of each other depending upon the state of a vehicle stability index.
