Abstract:
An electronic control unit is provided with a preparatory brake pressure controlling unit that, when steering operation in an opposite direction is detected after the steering operation of a steering wheel in one direction, applies a preparatory brake pressure to a wheel, which becomes an outer wheel in turning next along with the steering operation in the opposite direction, and the preparatory brake pressure controlling means is configured to inhibit application control of the preparatory brake pressure when returning operation of the steering wheel to a steering center is detected while the steering operations in the one direction and in the opposite direction are repeated.
Abstract:
A method for sensitizing the roll signal for a rollover control system (18) is provided. A sensitizing method for controlling a vehicle includes when the relative roll angle reaches a threshold, initiating a wheel departure angle determination, boosting control effort and controlling a safety system (38) in response to the computed roll angles.
Abstract:
A method of controlling a safety system 38 of a vehicle 10 include determining a roll rate, determining a first control pressure in response to roll rate, determining a roll angle, and determining a second control pressure in response to the roll angle. The method further includes determining a final control pressure in response to the first control pressure and the second control pressure and controlling the safety system in response to the final control pressure.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method and a device for stabilizing a car-trailer combination, including a towing vehicle and a trailer moved by the towing vehicle, wherein the towing vehicle is monitored in terms of rolling motions and measures that stabilize driving are taken upon the detection of an actual or expected unstable driving performance of the towing vehicle or the car-trailer combination. In order to be able to perform, in a timely manner, an intervention on the towing vehicle that stabilizes driving, the invention provides that the measures that stabilize driving are controlled in dependence on the yaw acceleration.
Abstract:
A method of densensitizing includes determining a relative roll angle, determining when the vehicle is in a transitional maneuver, and when the vehicle is in a transitional maneuver, setting a roll signal for control to the relative roll angle, reducing control effort and controlling a safety system (38) correspondingly.
Abstract:
In a method for regulating the driving stability of a vehicle pressures for individual brakes of the vehicle are determined in dependence on several input quantities so that the driving stability is enhanced by brake interventions at individual wheels. To enhance the driving stability of a vehicle, it is determined during stable driving performance whether in view of a highly dynamic steering maneuver there is a tendency to a subsequent unstable driving performance, and in this case brake pre-intervention will occur already when the vehicle exhibits a stable driving performance.

Abstract:
A system 18 for controlling a safety system of an automotive vehicle has a first controller 76 generating a first control signal, a second controller 78 generating a second control signal and an arbitration module 80 coupled to the first controller 76 and the second controller 78. The arbitration module 80 chooses the higher of the first control signal and the second control signal to generate a final control signal. The safety system 38 is coupled to the arbitration module. The safety system 38 is operated in response to the final control signal.
Abstract:
An automotive electronic lateral dynamics control system of an autonomous motor vehicle, comprising a lateral driving path planner designed to plan a lateral driving path of the autonomous motor vehicle and defined by a reference curvature of the autonomous motor vehicle; an automotive electronic driving stability control system designed to control an automotive braking system to apply to the autonomous motor vehicle a yaw torque to hinder a driving instability condition of the autonomous motor vehicle; and an automotive electronic steering control system designed to control an automotive steering system to apply to the autonomous motor vehicle a steering angle or torque to cause the autonomous motor vehicle to follow the lateral driving path planned by the lateral driving path planner. The automotive electronic lateral dynamics control system is designed to cause an intervention of the automotive electronic steering control system to take account of an intervention of the automotive electronic driving stability control system.
