A method of coordinating a plurality of intervention measures into a driving performance of a vehicle includes determining a wheel slip angle of a front axle, determining a coefficient of friction on the front axle, determining a wheel slip angle threshold value, comparing the wheel slip angle to the wheel slip angle threshold value, and initiating a first intervention measure through at least one of a brake system of the vehicle and a drive system of the vehicle if an absolute value of the wheel slip angle is greater than an absolute value of the wheel slip angle threshold value.

Method and device for coordinating measures influencing the driving performance of a vehicle

A device and a method of controlling a movement parameter representing the movement of the vehicle, includes a first arrangement for detecting at least the transverse acceleration of the vehicle is proposed. The device also contains a second arrangement at least for determining a transverse acceleration component which depends on the transverse slope of the road surface and/or for correcting at least the transverse acceleration of the vehicle at least as a function of the transverse acceleration component. In the second arrangement a status of the vehicle whereby the transverse acceleration component which depends on the transverse slope of the road surface is determined at least as a function of the slip angle occurring on the rear axle of the vehicle.

Method and device for adjusting an amount of movement representing the vehicle motion

An apparatus and a process for closed loop control of a motion quantity representing the vehicle motion which means determine the yaw rate of the vehicle, the longitudinal speed of the vehicle, and the transverse acceleration of the vehicle. Moreover, the apparatus influences the forward moment and/or the braking moment of individual wheels of the vehicle. The apparatus further determines a transverse acceleration component dependent on the roadway transverse inclination, as well as correcting the transverse acceleration of the vehicle at least as a function of the transverse acceleration component dependent on the roadway transverse inclination. The determination of the transverse acceleration component dependent on the roadway transverse inclination and also the correction of the transverse acceleration of the vehicle as carried out in a stable state of the vehicle characterized by the yaw rate and the transverse acceleration.

A control system for motor vehicles in which the errors in wheel velocities created by tolerances between the tires are compensated.

Motor vehicle control system and method

A method for improving the controllability of motor vehicles during braking wherein desired slip values are determined and adjusted with the aid of a wheel slip controller. According to the method, the following are measured: the yaw rate .psi., the steering angle .delta., the wheel speeds V.sub.Ri, the inlet pressure P.sub.inlet or wheel brake pressure P.sub.i, and, if required, the engine speed and the throttle valve angle. The following variables are estimated using the measured values: the longitudinal vehicle speed V.sub.X, the longitudinal vehicle acceleration V.sub.X, the wheel slip values .lambda..sub.i, the braking forces F.sub.Bi, the tire forces F.sub.Ri, and the transverse speed V.sub.Y. Desired slip values .lambda..sub.i * are then determined from these measured and estimated variables with the aid of a simple vehicle model and supplied to the slip controller to control the vehicle wheel brake pressure.

Control of vehicle side slip using yaw rate

A method for controlling vehicle stability comprises the steps of determining the rate of yaw and comparing it to a setpoint rate of yaw. The deviation is used to adjust a counter rate of yaw by means of a controller when the rate of yaw is too large. An optimal profile for a setpoint rate of yaw is determined, even when parameters such as the coefficient of friction of the road surface and the vehicle speed vary.
