ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling an advanced chassis control system of a vehicle such as an anti-lock brake system, traction control system, vehicle stability control system, or roll control system affecting the vehicle dynamic performance and safety is disclosed. A control unit controls the operation of the advanced chassis control system based at least in part upon predictions of force generating characteristics of tires of the vehicle and driver input signals. The advanced chassis control system of the vehicle is controlled in one manner if the tire is determined to be inflated, controlled in another, different manner if the tire is determined to be deflated. During normal driving, the chassis control systems can operate to control the vehicle according to the desires of the driver while accounting for at least one tire being deflated. During braking the controller can act to distribute braking forces in order to divert forces from the deflated tire to the inflated tires.
