Abstract:
The method involves determining a transverse parameter acting on the vehicle and determining a maximum value for the accelerating force (Fb) acting the direction of travel or of the longitudinal acceleration depending on the transverse parameter acting on the vehicle. The transverse parameter (Fs) acting on the vehicle is a centrifugal force or a transverse acceleration. AN Independent claim is also included for the following: (a) a device for adjusting the engine torque of a single-track vehicle in a turn.
Abstract:
A misalignment detection sensor assembly is provided, which includes a forward-looking sensor having a sensing direction along a first axis and an inertia sensor configured to sense acceleration along a second axis, the second axis having a fixed relationship with respect to the first axis. A misalignment detection system uses the misalignment detection sensor assembly and a signal processing system to calculate a misalignment angle between the first axis and the direction of forward motion of the sensor assembly. A method of detecting angular misalignment of a forward-looking sensor assembly is also disclosed, which includes measuring acceleration along an axis having a fixed relationship with respect to the sensing axis of the forward-looking sensor assembly and comparing the acceleration measurement with a predetermined threshold.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an acceleration detector capable of realizing more accurate zero-point correction, a method of compensating drift errors of an acceleration sensor, and a neutral controller that uses the method. SOLUTION: The acceleration detector 11 includes an N control input G calculating part 15 for detecting acceleration detection value, at stopping on a slope based on a G sensor signal at stopping on the slope; a ΔG-calculating part 17 for detecting based on the G sensor signal; the amount of change ΔG in acceleration due to running backward of a vehicle when the vehicle, transits from the stop on the slope to a running state; an acceleration estimating part 18 for calculating the acceleration estimation value at stopping on the slope when the vehicle stops on the slope, based on the amount of change ΔG in acceleration; a drift amount calculating part 19 for calculating the drift amount of a zero point of the acceleration detection value from deviation between the acceleration estimation value and the acceleration detection value at stopping on the slope; and a zero-point correcting part 13 for correcting the zero point of the acceleration detection value, based on the drift amount.
