The invention relates to a method of moving a trailer assembly between a transport position, coupled to a mode of transportation, and a storage position. A trailer assembly typically includes, among other things, a base and an axle/suspension carriage. The trailer assembly also includes a lifting mechanism that is operatively connected between the axle/suspension carriage and the base and is movable between an extended position and a retracted position. The method includes the step of transporting the trailer assembly to a desired location for storage with the axle/suspension carriage in the extended position. The lifting mechanism is then actuated to adjust the axle/suspension carriage to a position between the extended position and the retracted position while continuing to transport the trailer assembly to the desired location. The lifting mechanism is then released allowing the axle/suspension carriage to move toward the retracted position when the trailer assembly is in the desired location such that the trailer assembly has a minimal profile at the desired location.

A side-slip velocity estimation module for a vehicle stability enhancement control system includes a side-slip acceleration estimation module that determines an estimated side-slip acceleration of a vehicle. A limited-frequency integrator integrates the estimated side-slip acceleration to determine an estimated side-slip velocity of the vehicle. The limited-frequency integrator includes a feedback loop which incorporates a cutoff frequency for the integrator.

A feed-forward control section controls, in a feed-forward manner, left and right hydraulic clutches C.sub.L and C.sub.R of a driving force distributing device by presuming such a driving force distribution amount .DELTA.T that a yaw rate corresponding to a turning state of a vehicle is obtained, based on an engine torque, an engine revolution-number, a vehicle speed, a steering angle and a lateral acceleration. On the other hand, a feedback control section calculates a deviation between a reference yaw rate calculated from the vehicle speed and the lateral acceleration and an actual yaw rate detected by a yaw rate sensor, and corrects the driving force distribution amount .DELTA.T calculating in the driving force distributing device in order to converge the deviation into zero. Therefore, even if the driving force distribution amount becomes excessive due to the feed-forward control to produce an over-steering tendency in the vehicle, this over-steering tendency can be eliminated by the feedback control to stabilize the behavior of the vehicle.

摘要:
The invention relates to a safety system for a motor vehicle having first and second sensor means, by means of which sensor parameters representing the vehicle movement dynamics of the vehicle are detected. Furthermore, vehicle movement means and restraining means are provided, actuators which influence the vehicle movement dynamics of the vehicle being actuated by means of the vehicle movement means on the basis of the detected sensor parameters of the at least first sensor means, and a restraining system being activated by means on the restraining means on the basis of the detected sensor parameters of the second sensor means. The essential feature of the invention consists in the fact that a signal representing the condition of the road pavement is formed on the basis of sensor parameters of the second sensor means, and this signal is used in the vehicle movement means to actuate the actuators. By virtue of the invention, adaptation of the vehicle movement means to the currently prevailing condition of the road pavement is achieved without a relatively large additional outlay.
摘要:
A vehicle turn control apparatus has an electronic control unit which controls the operation of hydraulic pressure control valves for adjusting a fluid pressure generated by a pump during the turn control which is carried out in accordance with a required control variable for yaw moment control calculated based on either or both of the operating state and behavior of a vehicle. Adjusted fluid pressures are supplied to the wheel brakes concerned, so that a braking force difference is produced between these wheels to control a yawing motion of the vehicle. When the brake pedal is operated during the turn control, the electronic control unit stops the operation of the pump unless the fluid pressure for turn control is so adjusted as to be increased, to thereby decrease the fluid pressure to suppress the brake pedal push-back action of the fluid pressure.
摘要:
A method for controlling vehicle stability comprises the steps of determining the rate of yaw and comparing it to a setpoint rate of yaw. The deviation is used to adjust a counter rate of yaw by means of a controller when the rate of yaw is too large. An optimal profile for a setpoint rate of yaw is determined, even when parameters such as the coefficient of friction of the road surface and the vehicle speed vary.

A powered vehicle of the type which rides on front and rear primary road wheels that are in tandem relationship and located midway between the sides of the vehicle has a body with sides that are convergent in the downward direction enabling a high degree of leaning of the vehicle during turns. At least one auxiliary road wheel is carried at each side of the vehicle by sidewardly extending pivot arms which enable lowering of the auxiliary wheels during low speed travel and when the vehicle is stationary. At the raised position, the auxiliary road wheels extend from the sides of the vehicle in position to ride on the roadbed when the vehicle is tilted sidewardly to an inclination that is more horizontal than vertical. In the preferred form, the vehicle body has an inverted teardrop configuration in cross section and tapering front and back end regions and has an aircraft empennage at the back end. Interlinkage synchronizes raising and lowering of the auxiliary wheels and adjusts wheel camber and steering in the process. Spoiler flaps on the empennage are actuated concurrently with actuation of the vehicle braking system.

The invention is directed to an control system for a motor vehicle and includes: a plurality of control elements coacting for carrying out control tasks with reference to engine power, drive power and braking operation, respectively, and a plurality of coordinating elements for coordinating the coaction of the first elements to effect a control of operating performance of the motor vehicle in correspondence to a request of the driver. The elements are arranged in the form of a plurality of hierarchial levels. At least one of the coordinating elements of one of the hierarchial levels is adapted for acting on the elements of an adjacent hierarchial level when translating the request of the driver into a corresponding operating performance of the motor vehicle thereby acting on a pregiven subordinate system of the driver-vehicle system while providing the performance required from the higher hierarchial level for this subordinate system.
摘要:
A lower limiting value of the yaw speed is calculated as a function of the steering angle, the vehicle speed, and the coefficient of friction between tires and road. If the yaw speed falls below the lower limiting value, the brake pressure is reduced in order to increase lateral stability.

In a 4WD vehicle, a drive control system for controlling a driving force distribution between front and rear wheels is combined with a steer angle control system which applies an auxiliary steering quantity in accordance with a derivative of a steering input, to the front or rear wheels. The steer angle control system is arranged to vary the auxiliary steering quantity responsive to the derivative of the steering input, in accordance with the front and rear wheel speed difference so as to maintain an optimum steering characteristic.
