Abstract
A method for detecting whether a vehicle on standby is in a transported situation, the vehicle including a course control device, wheel speed sensors, a yaw rate sensor, a processing unit processing data managing vehicle operation modes and a device for immobilizing the vehicle. The method includes detecting a vehicle standby mode after installing the vehicle on a transport support, detecting a zero vehicle speed using the wheel speed sensors, the speed sensor of at least one wheel able to be on the verge of oscillating over a predefined time period, detecting a non-zero yaw rate using the yaw rate sensor over a predefined time period, and under these conditions determining the vehicle is in a transported mode, in which data from at least the wheel speed sensor on the verge of oscillating is filtered, and allowing the vehicle to be put in a wake-up state.
