ABSTRACT:
An electronic control system for a vehicle includes a plurality of input devices, a plurality of output devices, a communication network, and a plurality of interface modules. The plurality of input devices may include a first input device that provides information pertaining to an angular position of a first vehicle wheel. The plurality of output devices may include an actuator capable of adjusting one or both of the angular position of the first vehicle wheel or an angular position of a second vehicle wheel. The plurality of interface modules can be microprocessor based and can be interconnected to each other by way of the communication network. The plurality of interface modules may also be coupled to the plurality of input devices and to the plurality of output devices. The plurality of interface modules may include one or more interface modules that is coupled to the first input device and to the actuator. The electronic control system can be configured to control the angular position of one or both of the first and second vehicle wheels as a function of the information from the first input device.
