Title: Matthias Baumann: Innovator in Vehicle Dynamics Control
Introduction
Matthias Baumann is a notable inventor based in Böblingen, Germany. He has made significant contributions to the field of vehicle dynamics control, holding a total of 7 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the safety and performance of motor vehicles through innovative testing methods and balancing techniques.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a method for testing the functioning of a driving dynamics control sensor system. This invention relates to a method that tests the functioning of a vehicle's sensor system, which includes a yaw rate sensor, a transverse acceleration sensor, and/or a steering angle sensor. The method establishes the measuring signal values supplied by the sensor system as starting values at the beginning of a testing operation. During a subsequent test drive, these values are compared with the starting values to detect any errors in the sensor system. This method is particularly useful for testing the sensor's functionality before a vehicle is driven for the first time or after repairs.
Another significant patent by Baumann is a motor vehicle wheel speed balancing method. This method balances wheel speeds for vehicles equipped with a wheel-slip control system. It involves quick coarse balancing with respect to a reference wheel, followed by fine balancing in pairs of wheels. The method ensures that cornering is detected through temporal variations in the left/right deviation, achieving a sensitive and reliable wheel balancing process.
