Abstract: Methods and apparatus to control stability of a vehicle and trailer are disclosed. An example apparatus to control stability of a vehicle and trailer includes stability monitoring circuitry to determine, based on sensor data from one or more sensors of the vehicle, whether a vehicle stability condition associated with the vehicle is satisfied, and stability control circuitry to, in response to the vehicle stability condition not being satisfied, adjust a load distribution on front wheels and rear wheels of the vehicle by adjusting a vehicle pitch.

Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatus, and articles of manufacture to determine threshold speed for a vehicle and trailer are disclosed. An example apparatus disclosed herein includes memory, instructions, and programmable circuitry to execute the instructions to access information associated with at least one of a vehicle or a trailer coupled to the vehicle, determine, by executing a model based on the information, a threshold speed for the vehicle and the trailer, and prevent, by activating at least one vehicle control, the vehicle and the trailer from travelling at or above the threshold speed.

Abstract: A vehicle control system may include a sensor network sensing vehicle attitude information and a controller operably coupled to the sensor network to determine, based on the vehicle attitude information, movement of a center of gravity of the vehicle relative to an axis of rotation of the vehicle. The controller may further determine a modification to a torque application of the vehicle based on the movement of the center of gravity of the vehicle relative to the axis of rotation of the vehicle.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for adjusting regenerative braking in response to normal loads applied to each of a vehicle's wheels coupled to an electric machine. In one example, a regenerative braking torque for a wheel may be adjusted in response to a normal load that is applied to the wheel as wheel load changes during vehicle braking.

Abstract: A method of controlling a vehicle may include determining a proximity to a stuck condition based on measured vehicle motion parameters and a wheel speed measured by a wheel speed sensor associated with one or more wheels of the vehicle. The method may further include generating a notification to a driver of the vehicle in response to the proximity to the stuck condition indicating that the vehicle is either in a stuck condition or a nearly stuck condition, and responsive to driver selection of an unstuck mode, executing an unstuck algorithm to automatically control operation of the vehicle to achieve a free condition.
