ESP (Electronic Stability Program) is a kind of active safety device which can comprehensively improve the brake, drive and high speed performance of the automobile. Mastering the key technologies of ESP control system plays an important role in improving the performance of ESP. Vehicle dynamic model and engine model with 9 degrees of freedom of one passenger car were established based on vehicle and tire force analysis. The ESP fuzzy control model based on slip ratio control was established. The optimal slip ratio under different pavements was confirmed by using road recognition method. ESP fuzzy control was realized under MATLAB/Simulink environment. And through the split road simulation prove the validity of the road recognition algorithm, and the effectiveness of the fuzzy control strategy. The simulation and the debugging results indicate that the ESP fuzzy control strategy based on road automatic identification works well, and obviously improves automobile stability under critical situations. And all of these make a good foundation for the further research and development for the ESP integrated control system.
