Tire burst is an accidental occurrence that poses a serious threat to the driving stability and road safety of vehicles. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to investigate early warning systems for tire burst and develop stability and safety control measures after burst incidents. The development of an accurate model that can effectively represent the impact of tire burst on vehicle dynamics is crucial for the design of control systems and the development of stability control strategies. Most of the existing research on tire burst models is based on static tire tests, the effectiveness of these models still needs to be further verified. The main approach to studying the impact of burst tires on vehicle performance is to embed a burst tire model into a vehicle dynamics model. Understanding the impact of tire burst on vehicle performance is essential for identifying burst incidents and developing stability control strategies. The research on burst identification primarily focuses on early warning systems and estimating vehicle state parameters after burst incidents, while the current research on stability control strategies focuses on enabling vehicles to continue running safely after burst incidents through braking, active steering, and collaborative control. Currently, there is no comprehensive review of research on vehicle tire burst stability control. Therefore, this paper primarily reviews five aspects: (a) the causes and prevention of tire burst, (b) the impact of tire burst on vehicle performance, (c) burst identification, (d) stability control strategies for burst incidents, and (e) future prospects for tire burst research.
