This paper describes an algorithm for coordinated braking and steering control during emergency stops and accelerations. By emergency we mean maximum effort is required. The algorithm applies to the control of vehicles with means for regulating wheel-slip and steering the wheels to supplement driver inputs. The object of the algorithm is to bring the vehcile to the quickest possible stop or to the highest possible speed while at the same time helping the driver maintain stability. The potential improvements in vehicle stopping-performance that can be obtained by coordination of braking and steering controllers are quantified and presented in tables. These tables show that the more difficult the braking conditions the greater the potential improvement with coordinated control; improvements in deceleration of 50 % can be obtained under conditions of high lateral slip. This analysis assumes that all vehicle states and tire/road interface properties are known and accessible. It does not consider what performance degradations will occur if this information is missing.
