1. A control system for an automotive vehicle having a vehicle body comprising:

  • a roll angle generator generating a relative roll angle signal;

    a plurality of sensors generating a plurality of sensor signals;

    a safety system; and

    a controller coupled to roll angle generator and the plurality of sensors, said controller generating a linear road bank angle, first reference bank angle and a relative roll angle in response to the roll angle generator and the plurality of sensor signals, said controller determining a first reference bank angle and generating a second reference bank angle in response to linear bank angle and a first reference bank angle, a bank angle adjustment factor, said bank angle adjustment being a function of a relative roll angle estimate, said controller controlling the safety system in response to the second reference bank angle estimate.
