Abstract
Current major trends in the automotive industry include vehicle weight and size reduction, and the use of low rolling resistance tires. Along with these trends, techniques for increasing vehicle stability have become necessary. At Equos Research a rear camber control system has been developed which directly makes use of roll steer to increase vehicle stability. The potential of the system has been investigated for actual vehicles. In this report we present the details of this system and show its potential for improving vehicle stability.
