1. A vehicle control system comprising:

  • a housing;

    a steering wheel angle sensor generating a steering angle signal;

    a sensor cluster within said housing generating a plurality of signals including a roll rate signal, a pitch rate signal, a yaw rate signal, a longitudinal acceleration signal and a lateral acceleration signal;

    an integrated controller receiving said plurality of signals and generating a low pass filtered lateral velocity signal, a low pass filtered roll angle signal and a low pass filtered pitch angle signal, said controller generating a dynamic pitch angle signal in response to the yaw rate signal and the pitch rate signal, said controller generating a dynamic roll angle signal in response to the roll rate signal, the yaw rate signal and the pitch rate signal, said integrated controller generating a vehicle pitch angle signal in response to the low pass filtered pitch angle signal and the dynamic pitch angle signal and a vehicle roll angle signal in response to the low pass filtered roll angle signal and the dynamic roll angle signal, said controller generating a vehicle lateral reference velocity signal in response to the low pass filtered lateral velocity signal, the vehicle roll attitude signal and the vehicle pitch attitude signal, the yaw rate signal and the steering angle signal;

    a dynamic system controller receiving said lateral vehicle reference velocity signal and generating a dynamic control signal in response thereto; and

    a braking system controller receiving said dynamic control signal and further generating a braking signal in response thereto.
