摘要:
A method and a device for regulating the pressure prevailing in at least one wheel brake. Pressure is regulated in a stepless, continuously variable manner, by a regulator generating at least one driving signal quantity for a pressure-influencing valve arrangement on the basis of the active operating point of the valve arrangement.

In a method for determining the position of an object with reference to a measurement device having an optical transmitter which emits a light beam at a varying transmission angle, and having an angularly resolving optical receiver spaced away from the transmitter, a conclusion being drawn, from the respective transmission angle and from the respective angle at which the receiver receives radiation reflected from the object (reception angle), as to the resolution cell, defined by the angular resolution of the transmitter and the receiver, in which the object is located, the light beam emitted from the transmitter is modulated. The phase difference between the modulation of the transmitted light beam and the modulation of the received radiation is measured. From the phase difference, the position of the object within the respective resolution cell is calculated.

The invention relates to a vehicle hydraulic brake system with a twin-circuit emergency brake pressure source which can be put into operation by a pedal and with wheel brakes which can be supplied from this emergency brake pressure source through emergency brake main conduits and with a power-assisted brake device which has a power source, and, between the latter and the at least one wheel brake, at least one valve arrangement generates brake pressures and also reduces brake pressure using a pressure medium from the power source. At least one valve arrangement is installed between the emergency brake pressure source and the wheel brakes and, in emergency brake operation, this valve arrangement connects the emergency brake pressure source to the wheel brakes and, in power-assisted brake operation, separates the emergency brake pressure source from the wheel brakes. This valve arrangement is designed in such a way that in power-assisted brake operation, the valve arrangement permits pressure medium which has to be drained from wheel brakes to escape to a reservoir of the emergency brake pressure source through the emergency brake main conduits and a return conduit. This valve arrangement can be controlled by a small control force and is therefore of low cost. The vehicle brake system is suitable for motor vehicles.

A method and an apparatus based thereon are described for the automatic recognition of whether, in a traffic situation or in a traffic environment, vehicles are driving on the right or on the left. Said method is used in a motor vehicle as part of adaptive speed control. The prevailing direction of traffic flow is determined on the basis of other vehicles, which are traveling toward the cited vehicle. For this purpose, a frequency distribution is created as a function of a lateral, preferably directional distance y; a center of gravity S of this frequency is determined; and then it is determined on what side of the controlled vehicle this center of gravity S is located.

An external energy source of a hydraulic motor vehicle power brake system, which has first and second valves that can be electrically controlled to adjust wheel brake pressures for wheel brakes, must be protected from being overloaded. To avoid the necessity for a safety valve, which has been used up to this point for protecting the external energy source, it is proposed that the first valve be embodied as a seat valve having a valve seat connected to the external energy source by means of an inlet opening disposed upstream, having a valve closing body associated with the valve seat, and having a closing spring that presses the valve closing body against the valve seat, which spring is dimensioned as a safety valve spring in a fashion according to the invention. In a reasonably priced manner, the first valve is used as a safety valve that protects the external energy source and on the other hand, for braking procedures, is used as a valve for adjusting wheel brake pressures.
摘要:
A method and a device for adjusting the velocity of a motor vehicle to a programmable target velocity, with a current velocity of the controlled vehicle being measured. A distance sensor measures at least one distance to a vehicle or another obstacle in front of the controlled vehicle. The controlled vehicle is accelerated or decelerated as a function of at least the measured distance and the measured instantaneous velocity. A positive acceleration of the controlled vehicle ceases or is reduced, or the instantaneous velocity of the controlled vehicle is reduced, if a blinding sensor is used to determine that the driver of the controlled vehicle is being blinded by the light of oncoming traffic.
摘要:
A steering wheel (10) is proposed, especially for controlling a motor vehicle, which is provided with a device that detects the elastic deformation of the sheath of the steering wheel (10) caused by its being gripped by the driver, and which controls vehicle-specific functions on the basis of this deformation. To that end, a fiber-optical sensor is mounted on the steering wheel (10). This sensor has an optical fiber (14), into which a transmitter (16) injects a light signal (16.1), which is received by a pickup (18). Exertions of pressure or force on the optical fiber (14) cause a change in polarization of the light signal (16.1), which is evaluated by an evaluation circuit (15) to form a driver signal (20.x).
摘要:
A power-assisted brake system which can be activated by a pedal including a travel simulator and a desired value transmitter which is coupled thereto and a second sensor which can be used alternatively as a desired value transmitter. The second desired value transmitter is a pressure transmitter. The signals of both desired value transmitters are monitored in an electronic control unit for essentially corresponding signal values. If there is an unacceptable difference in signal value, power-assisted braking operation is suppressed. Braking is then possible by an emergency brake cylinder. The power-assisted brake system can be used for motor vehicles for passenger transport and goods transport, in motor vehicles which are equipped with an anti-lock brake system (ABS) or with a traction control system (TCS).
