Abstract: A control system for a vehicle (10) is described for use in conjunction with the safety system (44) of the vehicle (10). A tire sensor or plurality of tire sensors generates tire force signals. The tire force signals may include lateral tire forces, longitudinal (or torque) tire forces, and normal tire forces. Based upon the tire force signals, a safety system (44) may be activated. The tire force sensors may be used to monitor various conditions including but not limited to sensing a roll condition, wheel lift detection, a trip event, oversteering and understeering conditions, pitch angle, bank angle, roll angle, and the position of the center of gravity of the vehicle.

Abstract: A control circuit sends a drive signal to a transmitting section. The transmitting section generates ultrasonic waves based on the drive signal. The ultrasonic waves are transmitted toward a side surface portion Ta of a tire T. A receiving section receives reflection sounds as ultrasonic waves reflected from the side surface portion Ta of the tire T. The receiving section sends a detection signal to the control circuit. Based on both the drive signal and the detection signal, the control circuit detects a shape change (i.e. degree of deformation) of the side surface portion Ta of the tire T. Then, the control circuit 14 calculates the stress (particularly, the lateral stress) acting from the road surface P to the wheel W based on the detection result of the shape change. Then, the control circuit produces a data signal D representing the calculated stress.

Abstract: A control system for an automotive vehicle having a vehicle body includes a sensor cluster having a housing oriented within the vehicle body. A roll rate sensor is positioned within the housing and generates a roll rate sensor signal corresponding to a roll angular motion of the sensor housing. A controller receives the roll rate sensor signal, the controller generates a residue signal in response to a sensor error or a measurement error. The controller sets a fault condition in response to the residue signal larger than a dynamic threshold and a magnitude of the roll rate signal above a fault condition threshold. The controller sets a fault flag in response to the fault condition indicated for a predetermined time during which no double wheel lift occurs.

Abstract: A device for detecting a pendulum motion of a vehicle. The device includes at least one first ascertainment arrangement, with which a lateral-motion-dynamics quantity is ascertained that represents the lateral motion dynamics of the vehicle. In addition, the device includes a second ascertainment arrangement with which a speed quantity is ascertained that describes the vehicular speed. With the aid of a third ascertainment arrangement it is ascertained, as a function of the at least one lateral-motion-dynamics quantity and the speed quantity, whether a pendulum motion of the vehicle exists. For that purpose, it is at least checked whether the at least one lateral-motion-dynamics quantity is greater than an associated threshold value and the speed quantity is greater than an associated threshold value. A pendulum motion of the vehicle exists when the lateral-motion-dynamics quantity is greater than the associated threshold value and when the speed quantity is greater than the associated threshold value.

Abstract: To control the tilt of a multi-axle vehicle, a first detector detects the vehicle tilt and sends a signal to a control unit for causing selected vehicle speed reduction for controlling the tilt. To control the direction of the vehicle, another sensor detects the actual course of the vehicle, compares that with a desired course and sends a signal to the control unit also for causing a selected vehicle speed reduction device at the wheels for restoring the course of the vehicle. The signals for tilt and direction may be superimposed for setting the speed reduction on the wheels.
