摘要:
A system is provided for use on large vehicles of the type wherein the vehicle frame (12) is supported on vehicle axle assemblies (14, 20, 22) through air bags (26, 30, 32), and each air bag has a lower end coupled to the lower end of an arm such as a swing arm (112) whose upper end is pivotally mounted on the frame. The height of the air bag is sensed by a pair of tilt sensors (50, 52), one on a tilt arm such as the swing arm (112), that has one end pivotally connected to the vehicle frame and an opposite end at least pivotally connected to the vehicle axle assembly. The other sensor senses tilt of the vehicle frame about an axis parallel to the axes of pivoting of the tilt arm. Each tilt sensor senses tilt of its location with respect to gravity, and the difference in tilt indicates air bag height.

In a method for influencing the roll behavior of a motor vehicle having at least one axle with wheels at opposite sides of the motor vehicle, vehicle body movements caused by transverse forces acting at the center of gravity are reduced in that for each vehicle axle wheel, a stabilizer with a hydraulic actuator generating a controllable force is provided and the stabilizer force is transmitted to the respective wheels and vehicle body for counteracting the vehicle body roll movements so as to improve the roll behavior of the vehicle with respect to accuracy and reaction speed.

Methods and devices for detecting cornering and in particular over-steered cornering as well as a method and a device for stabilising a vehicle in case of an over-steered cornering manoeuvre are described. The detection can be carried out with reference to wheel slip values and/or transverse acceleration values. The stabilisation is carried out upon detection of the over-steered cornering manoeuvre by means of suitable interventions in the brake system.

A system and method for detecting wheel lift of an automotive vehicle includes a yaw rate sensor (28) that generates a yaw rate signal, a lateral acceleration sensor (32) that generates a lateral acceleration signal, a roll rate sensor (34) generating a roll rate signal, and a longitudinal acceleration sensor (36) for generating a longitudinal acceleration signal. A controller (18) is coupled to the yaw rate sensor (28), the lateral acceleration sensor (32), the roll rate sensor (34), and the longitudinal acceleration sensor (36). The controller determines a dynamic load transfer acting on the plurality of wheels as a function of yaw rate, lateral acceleration roll rate, and longitudinal acceleration. Normal forces for each of the plurality of wheels is determined as a function of the dynamic load transfer. Wheel lift is indicated when at least one of the normal forces for each of the plurality of wheels is less than a normal force threshold.

A method of coordinating intervention measures into the driving performance of a motor vehicle has the steps of: determining a wheel slip angle nullv of a front axle, determining a coefficient of friction null on the front axle, and determining a wheel slip angle threshold value nullvnull, where the wheel slip angle nullv is compared with the wheel slip angle threshold value nullvnull and in the case of an absolute wheel slip angle nullnullvnull which is greater than an absolute wheel slip angle threshold value nullnullvnullnull, an intervention measure through the brake system and/or the drive system of the vehicle is implemented. A device for coordinating intervention measures into the driving performance of a vehicle is also described.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method and a device for controlling the cornering speed of a vehicle, with determination of the lateral acceleration and of the speed of the vehicle. In order to achieve a simple but effective capability of adjusting the vehicle speed to an optimum value, the yaw angular velocity is additionally determined, and a body slip angle is determined from the lateral acceleration, yaw angular velocity and vehicle speed. The body slip angle is compared with a threshold value. If the body slip angle exceeds this threshold, the set speed of the vehicle is reduced from the instantaneous actual speed, in a manner proportional to the body slip angle. If the body slip angle is below the threshold, the speed is released once again, or in other words the set speed is carried to the actual value of the speed; the driver can then accelerate once again. Adjustment of the set speed is achieved via adaptation of the engine torque. If the actual and set speeds differ, the engine torque is varied by a PD controller in such a way that the actual speed is adjusted to the set speed.
摘要:
A method and device is disclosed for determining and detecting the rollover hazard of a vehicle through a dynamic detection of variations in the center of gravity of the vehicle. During cornering of the vehicle, first condition variables, which correspond to the respective wheel load, are detected on at least two wheels. The detected first condition variables are compared to reference values representative of the respective cornering maneuver. A corresponding change in the center of gravity is calculated from the differences between the detected first condition variables and the reference values.

摘要:
A suspension control apparatus for use with shock absorbers provided between sprung and unsprung masses of the vehicle at the respective road wheel positions for providing variable damping force characteristics. A control unit receives first sensor signals indicative of sensed vehicle sprung mass vertical behaviors for controlling the shock absorbers to have respective target damping force characteristics determined based on the vehicle sprung mass vertical behaviors. A surface condition of a road on which the vehicle is running is determined based on the first sensor signals. The control unit also receives a second sensor signal indicative of a sensed vehicle lateral acceleration for detecting vehicle steering operation. The second sensor signal is compared with a reference value. Vehicle steering operation is detected in response to a result of comparison of the second sensor signal with the reference value. The target damping force characteristics for vehicle steering operation are determined upon the detection of the vehicle steering operation. The reference value is corrected based on the determined surface condition.
摘要:
A propulsion control system for motor vehicles in the range of the cornering limit speed, having a memory in which the momentary steering angle value is stored when a certain steering angle change is not followed by a change of the lateral acceleration, having threshold value comparators in which the actual steering angle is compared with threshold values that depend on the stored steering angle value, and having logic for transmitting and stop transmitting a signal to a control element for the power reduction of the vehicle engine when the actual steering angle exceeds one threshold value and then falls below the other threshold value. The steering angle may also be replaced by the driving speed or by a combination of both quantities.
