A method of controlling an advanced chassis control system of a vehicle
such as an anti-lock brake system, traction control system, vehicle
stability control system, or roll control system affecting the vehicle
dynamic performance and safety is disclosed. A control unit controls the
operation of the advanced chassis control system based at least in part
upon predictions of force generating characteristics of tires of the
vehicle and driver input signals. The advanced chassis control system of
the vehicle is controlled in one manner if the tire is determined to be
inflated, controlled in another, different manner if the tire is
determined to be deflated. During normal driving, the chassis control
systems can operate to control the vehicle according to the desires of
the driver while accounting for at least one tire being deflated. During
braking the controller can act to distribute braking forces in order to
divert forces from the deflated tire to the inflated tires.
