Methods for dynamically improving driving performance of a moving multi-track vehicle that is traversing a land surface

Methods are provided for dynamically improving driving performance of a moving vehicle that is traversing a land surface using a flywheel, an active element, and a controller. The controller predicts the directional change of the moving vehicle, detects initiation of the predicted directional change of the moving vehicle, determines or estimates an incremental directional change of the moving vehicle that is currently needed to navigate a portion of the predicted directional change, and controls the active element to slow down or further spin up the flywheel to reduce traction that is needed between the wheels of the vehicle and the land surface to navigate the determined incremental directional change of the moving vehicle. The flywheel is maintained in a fixed orientation with respect to the body of the moving vehicle during the spinning up or slowing down of the flywheel. Torque applied by the active element to slow down or further spin up the flywheel is proportionate to the yaw torque applied on the body of the moving vehicle, and is applied in a direction that reduces the traction that is needed between the wheels of the vehicle and the land surface to navigate the determined incremental directional change of the moving vehicle. These steps are repeated for subsequent portions of the predicted directional change of the moving vehicle, thereby dynamically improving driving performance of the moving vehicle that is traversing the land surface.
