Found inIEEE Conference on Decision & Control (50th : 2011 : Orlando, Fla.). 2011 50th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control and European Control Conference (CDC-ECC), 2011: p. 3624 (This work analyzes the mitigation of unavoidable T-bone collisions between two automobiles through the execution of an aggressive maneuver involving a rapid yaw rotation of one of the vehicles, in order to achieve a favorable vehicle posture prior to the collision. The maneuvering vehicle is assumed to possess torque vectoring technology at the rear wheels, allowing the generation of a direct yawing moment)
Annual review of fluid mechanics, 1993 p. 485 (Aerodynamics of road vehicles) p. 496 (In a crosswind, and while passing another vehicle in still air, the flow around a vehicle becomes asymmetric and so a side force, a yawing moment, and a rolling moment are produced)
