ABSTRACT:
A control system for controlling a brake system of a braked vehicle during a turn, the vehicle having four wheels. The control system is configured to selectively modify a brake pressure applied to each of the wheels by the brake system. The control system is configured to receive a driver input relating to a brake pressure sought to be applied. The control system includes a controller for monitoring a slip status of each of the four wheels during a turn. The controller is configured to direct the brake system to independently increase, decrease, or hold the brake pressure applied to each of the four wheels based at least in part upon slip status of each respective wheel. The controller is configured to direct the brake system to modify the brake pressure applied to each of the wheels such that the brake pressure applied to a given wheel of the four wheels is always equal to or less than the brake pressure sought to be applied.
