Systems and methods for controlling a vehicle. The system includes a plurality of sensors and an electronic controller. The electronic controller is configured to receive data from the plurality of sensors and determine a target vehicle travel direction of the vehicle based on the received data. The electronic controller then determines a heading error based on the target travel direction, determines a heading error derivative, and generates a vehicle control command based on the heading error and the heading error derivative.

Vehicle dynamics control system utilizing heading error and derivative

A method is described for generating at least one feature for an occupant protection system, which is determined from at least one basic feature and analyzed for generating a triggering signal for an occupant protection device, and a corresponding device. During normal operation, at least one short-term window integral is calculated from the at least one basic feature and used as a starting value for calculating a corresponding long-term integral when a starting condition for a crash operation obtains, the at least one long-term integral being made available to a following method as a feature for generating the triggering signal for the occupant protection system.
