A roll stability control system for an automotive vehicle includes an external environment sensing system, such as a camera-based vision system, or a radar, lidar or sonar-based sensing system that generates image, radar, lidar, and/or sonar-based signals. A controller is coupled to the sensing system and generates dynamic vehicle characteristic signals in response to the image, radar, lidar, or sonar-based signals. The controller controls the rollover control system in response to the dynamic vehicle control signal. The dynamic vehicle characteristics may include roll related angles, angular rates, and various vehicle velocities.

Roll stability control system for an automotive vehicle using an external environmental sensing system

A roll stability control system () for an automotive vehicle () includes an external environment sensing system, such as a camera-based vision system, or a radar, lidar or sonar-based sensing system () that generates image, radar, lidar, and/or sonar-based signals. A controller () is coupled to the sensing system and generates dynamic vehicle characteristic signals in response to the image, radar, lidar, or sonar-based signals. The controller controls the rollover control system () in response to the dynamic vehicle control signal. The dynamic vehicle characteristics may include roll related angles, angular rates, and various vehicle velocities.

A turn signal system includes at least one sensor detecting road markers and generating therefrom road marker signals. A turn signal deactivates in response to a control command generated by a controller. The controller receives the road marker signals, and determines at least one of whether the system is undergoing a turning condition or has completed the turning condition from the road marker signals. The controller generates the control command when the system has completed the turning condition. A redundancy system verifies the control command.

Vehicle turn signal system

A multipurpose sensing system () for a vehicle () includes an optic () that is directed at multiple viewing areas (). A vision sensor () is coupled to the optic () and generates multiple object detection signals corresponding to the viewing areas (). A controller () is coupled to the vision sensor () and generates multiple safety system signals in response to the object detection signals.
