Abstract: The invention relates to a method of adjusting an electronic stability program (ESP) for a motor vehicle. This method comprises various steps, including in particular: establishing the curve of the consumption values (Cesp) as a function of time, said curve being representative of the differences (dCM) of the measured yaw angles and the setpoint yaw angles (dCM=LM−LC) versus the measured triggering threshold values (St), modifying the nominal threshold values (Sv) by a percentage that is proportional to the consumption values (Cesp).

Abstract: A rotatable grip (ancillary operation member) is provided on a part of a steering wheel body of a steering wheel (main operation member) for turning wheels. When the grip is rotated, a difference is generated between left and right wheels, and a yaw moment generated with this difference can assist or suppress the turning of a vehicle. Because the grip constitutes a part of the steering wheel body, it is possible to rotate the grip to assist or suppress the turning of the vehicle, while operating the steering wheel to turn the vehicle. Because both the steering wheel body and the grip can be operated by the same hand of a driver, operational burden on the driver is alleviated. Thus, it is possible to concurrently provide an excellent operability of the main operation member for controlling a kinetic state of the vehicle, and an excellent operability of the ancillary operation member for controlling the operation of a yaw moment generating device.

Abstract: A yaw stability control system (18) is enhanced to include roll stability control function for an automotive vehicle and includes a plurality of sensors (28–39) sensing the dynamic conditions of the vehicle. The sensors may include a speed sensor (20), a lateral acceleration sensor (32), a yaw rate sensor (28) and a longitudinal acceleration sensor (36). The controller (26) is coupled to the speed sensor (20), the lateral acceleration sensor (32), the yaw rate sensor (28) and a longitudinal acceleration sensor (36). The controller (26) generates both a yaw stability feedback control signal and a roll stability feedback control signal. The priority of achieving yaw stability control or roll stability control is determined through priority determination logic. If a potential rollover event is detected, the roll stability control will take the priority. The controller for roll stability control function determines a roll angle of the vehicle from the lateral acceleration sensor signal and calculates the feedback control signal based on the roll angle.

Abstract: An estimating unit 7 estimates an element aij of a system matrix based on state quantity including at least a longitudinal force Fx applied to a wheel, a vertical force Fz applied to the wheel and a vehicle speed V. A setting unit 8 sets a target value aij′ regarding the element aij of the system matrix. A processing unit 9 calculates a control value so that the estimated element aij approaches the set target value aij′. Controlling units 10 to 13 control a vehicle based on the calculated control value. Here, the element aij is expressed by a sum of a linear term changing with linearity of the wheel and a nonlinear term changing with nonlinearity of the wheel, and the setting unit 8 sets the linear term of the element aij as the target value aij′.

Abstract: A method for regulating a system for controlling the stability of a vehicle based on the forces exerted at the center of each wheel of the vehicle. Since, the actions of the driver, whether steering, accelerating or braking, are reflected by forces (variations in forces) transmitted by the tires to the ground, it is proposed to control the operating means of the vehicle (active anti-roll system, engine torque, braking torque or active steering) by force expectations derived from the actions of the driver. Depending on the speed of travel of the vehicle and the angle to the steering wheel (steering wheel velocity and steering wheel acceleration), the method expresses the inputs of the driver in terms of forces. If the actual forces that are measured do not correspond to the forces desired by the driver, the active system compensates for this difference by acting on the distributions of forces in the vehicle chassis.

Abstract: A yaw control system for an automotive drivetrain includes an equal torque differential, an engine-driven hydraulic pump, and hydraulically actuated control brakes operable to apply a resistive torque to either a left or right axle of the driven wheels. An acceleration-responsive control valve actuates one of the control brakes according to the direction of lateral acceleration of the vehicle. The control valve includes an inertial or seismic mass that moves a valve member to connect or disconnect the control brakes from the hydraulic pump. The control brakes are attached to the vehicle chassis so the resistive torque is reacted through the chassis, thereby inducing a yaw moment that coincides with and assists the turning of the vehicle.
