An integrated active steering and braking control system for providing one or more corrective yaw moments to a vehicle in response to a plurality of signals indicative of operational and environmental conditions related to the vehicle is disclosed. The system comprises a reference model, an estimator, a vehicle level brake/steer controller, and an actuator controller. The reference model provides a feedforward front steering angle correction signal a feedforward rear steering angle correction signal, a desired yaw rate signal, a desired lateral velocity signal, and a desired side slip angle signal. The estimator provides an estimated surface coefficient of adhesion signal, an estimated lateral velocity signal, and an estimated side slip angle signal. In response to the signals from the reference model and the estimator, the vehicle level brake/steer controller provides either a desired speed differential signal, a desired front steering angle signal and/or a desired rear steering angle signal. The actuator controller selectively provides a corrective braking signal to a brake actuator, a corrective front steering signal to a steering actuator, and a corrective rear steering signal to the steering actuator as a function of the desired speed differential signal, the desired front steering angle signal, and the desired rear steering angle signal, respectively.
