ABSTRACT:
A vehicle yaw rate control method comprising the steps of: first estimating vehicle yaw rate responsive to a first set of criteria; second estimating vehicle yaw rate responsive to a second set of criteria, wherein the first set of criteria includes a first vehicle condition not included in the second set of criteria and wherein the second set of criteria includes a second vehicle condition not included in the first set of criteria; measuring vehicle yaw rate using a yaw rate sensor; and indicating a reverse travel condition if both of the first and second estimates have signs opposite to a sign of the measured vehicle yaw rate.
