1. A system for a vehicle comprising:
- a tire sensor located within each wheel of the vehicle and generating a tire signal comprising pressure, temperature and multi-axis acceleration data;
at least one vehicle dynamics sensor providing a vehicle dynamics signal;
a controller communicating with the tire sensor and the at least one vehicle dynamics signal, generating a brake signal in response to the vehicle dynamics signal and as a function of the multi-axis acceleration data of the tire signal; and
a brake system applying a braking torque to each of the vehicle wheels in response to the brake signal generated by the controller.

Abstract
A control system (11) for a vehicle (10) includes vehicle dynamics sensors (35-47) providing a vehicle dynamics signal. Tire monitoring system sensors (20) in each wheel generate tire signals including temperature, pressure and acceleration data. A controller (26) communicates with the tire monitoring system sensors (20) and at least one vehicle dynamics sensor, and generates a brake signal as a function of the multi-axis acceleration data of the tire signals. The brake signal is transmitted to a brake system (64) to apply a brake torque in response to the brake signal.
