Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the basic lateral control of a road vehicle using actuators such as individually controlled brakes and or rear-wheel steering. The main focus is on linear control system design for cornering, especially for the improvement of stability and manoeuvrability of a passenger car. Steering control is presented in the form of a simple ‘driver model’ that shows the importance of road preview in providing a stable controller. For nonlinear control, anti-lock braking and electronic stability control are described; finally there is an introduction to vehicle motion control at the limits of friction.
