An apparatus for determining lateral velocity of an automotive vehicle (10) includes a vehicle speed sensor (20), a roll rate sensor (34), a yaw rate sensor (28), a lateral acceleration sensor (32), and a longitudinal acceleration sensor (36). A controller (26) is coupled to the sensors and determines a steady state pitch angle and a steady state roll angle as a function of the lateral acceleration signal, the longitudinal acceleration signal, the yaw rate signal, and the vehicle speed signal. The controller determines a sliding index as a function of the steady state pitch signal, the steady state roll angle, and the roll rate signal. The controller (26) determines lateral velocity as a function of the sliding index and controls the vehicle lateral motion based on the estimated lateral velocity.
