Vehicle Dynamic Control
VDC - Vehicle Skid Control Contains : Gyroscope, Low g Accelerometer,
Wheel Speed Sensor Yaw Rate Prediction - Speed Measurement Gyroscope Measurement - Compared Larger Difference - Single Wheel Brake or
Torque Reduction Applied, Airbag Fired Shock / Vibration Tolerant Gyroscopes - Need ANALO Devices - iMEMS Gyro Better Device

Security - Antitheft
Vehicle Towing - Popular Type Theft Tilt Detection System - Effective Sensor Pan European Specification - 30 Tilt over
3 minute period - i.e. 0.016o tilt per second
Fluid Tilt Sensor - Possible Use - Limited Tilt Range, Parked Car @ Large Tilt Angle - Sensor Ineffective Harsh Environment - Temperature Change,Sensor Performance Heavily Impaired
Low g Accelerometers – Ideal Tilt Sensor
