1. A stability control system for road vehicles comprising:
- a video image processing system;
an offset correction device connected to said video image processing system, said offset correction device operative to detect at least one of lane offsets and vehicle trajectory offsets as would be imposed on a vehicle undergoing a dynamic system change; and
a corrective control device connected to said offset correction device that is operative to the vehicle trajectory.

Abstract
A stability control system for road vehicles comprising a limit handling assistance controller which uses video lane detection measurements in conjunction with vehicle dynamics information, including inertial brakes and steering measurements to control vehicle EPS and VSC systems to assist the driver stabilize the vehicle and correct for any lane offset prior to and/or during of understeer, oversteer, split-μ and heavy breaking conditions, and lane changes.

2. A stability control system for road vehicles comprising.
a video image processing system; - and
a limit handling assistance controller connected to said video image processing system and which uses video lane detection measurements in conjunction with vehicle dynamics information, including inertial brakes and steering measurements, to control vehicle Electronic Power Steering (EPS) and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) systems to assist the driver to stabilise the vehicle and correct for any lane offset both prior to and during at least one of the conditions of understeer, oversteer, split-μ and
heavy breaking conditions, and lane changes. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A stability control system for road vehicles having an Active Torque Overlay (ATO) system and comprising a limit handling assistance controller which uses video lane detection measurements in conjunction with vehicle dynamics information, including inertial brakes and steering measurements to control the ATO system to assist the driver in stabilizing the vehicle and correcting for any lane offset prior to and during at least one of the conditions of understeer, oversteer, split-μ
- and heavy braking conditions, and lane changes.
