A method of controlling a brake system of an all-wheel driven motor vehicle, which includes an electro-regenerative brake and a number of friction brakes such that a total brake torque comprises brake torque components of the friction brakes and of the electro-regenerative brake; the brake torque of the electro-regenerative brake is subdivided between the front axle and rear axle in predetermined ratios. The brake torque generated by the electro-regenerative brake is limited to such an extent that the brake slip of one axle of the motor vehicle does not exceed a selectable maximum value.

Method for controlling a brake system of a motor vehicle with all-wheel drive

The invention relates to a method for controlling a motor vehicle, in particular a traction-slip control system (TCS), wherein a diagonal axle twist is detected and evaluated as a regulating variable.

Method for controlling a vehicle

A method for improving side roll, initially based on a conceivably unfavorable motor vehicle load to indicate a stability-critical transversal acceleration or related variable when the vehicle begins to travel. By observing the motor vehicle during travel, information on real mass distribution can be obtained. Whenever there is a danger of tilting during cornering, braking occurs in at least the front wheel that is located towards the outside of the bend, resulting in a reduction of lateral forces and transversal acceleration. An additional active motor vehicle suspension can also be provided.

Method for improving tilt stability in a motor vehicle

The present invention relates to a method of detecting the roll angle of a cornering vehicle which comprises at least one axle and at least two wheels, the vehicle being equipped with a transverse acceleration sensor means which senses the transverse acceleration that acts on the center of gravity of the automotive vehicle generally in the horizontal plane of the vehicle. To provide a method which does not require an additional sensor means and is virtually independent of given vehicle characteristics or dimensions, the component of the transverse acceleration which essentially acts in the horizontal plane of the vehicle is detected by the transverse acceleration sensor means during cornering. In addition, a condition variable which is correlated to the centrifugal acceleration acting on the center of gravity is detected, and the roll angle of the vehicle is calculated from the difference between the detected component of the transverse acceleration and the determined centrifugal acceleration, the said difference being weighted with a factor.

Method and device for detecting the overturning hazard of a motor vehicle

A method for limiting the transverse acceleration of a traveling vehicle consisting of the steps: detection of a driving condition with a critical transverse acceleration, influencing the braking pressure on at least one wheel, and/or influencing the driving torque when the driving condition having a critical transverse acceleration has been detected. A device for limiting the transverse acceleration of a traveling vehicle has a detection device for detecting a driving condition with a critical transverse acceleration, and an influencing device for influencing the braking pressure on at least one wheel and/or for influencing the driving torque when the detection device has detected a driving condition with a critical transverse acceleration.
