  • Patent number: 8565996
    Abstract: Disclosed is a traction control system and method for a vehicle having at least one driven wheel (R, L) with an associated wheel brake, an engine, and an electronic controller encompassing at least two linear sub-controllers designed for different coefficient of friction situations. Each of the at least two linear sub-controllers (CL, CH; CLL, CLH, CHL, CHH) determines a function of a control deviation (e) of at least one wheel specific characteristic, a control variable suggestion (uL, uH; uLL, uLH, uHL, uHH) that includes a control variable suggestion for the wheel brake and a control variable suggestion for the drive engine, and an output control variable (u) including an output control variable for the wheel brake and an output control variable for the drive engine, is determined from the control variable suggestions (uL, uH; uLL, uLH, uHL, uHH) by weighted addition (1).

  • Patent number: 8493235
    Abstract: A hazard warning for a driver of a vehicle is provided which involves measured values captured by different vehicles or corresponding advance analysis results being evaluated centrally by a server. The server then decides who needs to receive a corresponding warning. In this way, the main computation power can be provided in the server, which relieves the load on the individual vehicle systems. In addition, the data transfer can be minimized, since the messages are sent only to selected receivers.

  • Publication number: 20100090521
    Abstract: Method in which an electromagnetic valve in an electronically controlled pressure control device is calibrated, wherein the differential pressure prevailing at the valve which is to be calibrated is modulated periodically, and wherein the electrical signal which is present at the valve coil of the valve is evaluated at the valve coil or at an additional measuring coil for the purpose of calibration. Also disclosed is an electronically controlled motor vehicle brake pressure control device in which the above method can be carried out.
