The study of the development trends in modern automotive industry shows that manufacturers constantly improve the level of control over the parameters of motion of wheeled vehicles, ensuring maximum stability and handling. Currently, problems of developing active safety systems of vehicles that provide improved stability and controllability are studied by foreign experts. However, when describing the operating principle of movement stabilization systems, the information about methods of calculation of the values effecting stabilization is not disclosed. In this regard, the author proposes a method of movement stabilization for two-axle vehicles through the redistribution of torque between the driving wheels. The algorithm of operation of a dynamic stabilization system for a two-axle, 4?4 vehicle with a connected rear axle is examined, which allows maintaining directional and trajectory stability of the vehicle. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm for controlling the dynamic stabilization system is demonstrated by simulation methods.
