  • System for the active control of a motor vehicle differential
    Patent number: 6393351
    Abstract: The system comprises: devices operable to provide signals indicative of the angle of rotation of the steering wheel, the speed and the yaw rate of the vehicle, at well as the longitudinal acceleration and transverse acceleration of the vehicle on the basis of which a reference yaw rate is determined. A first yaw torque control signal is produced on the basis of a predetermined mathematical model of the behaviour of the motor vehicle and as a function of the determined reference value of the yaw rate. Control devices generate a second yaw torque control signal as a predetermined function of the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle. A control circuit generates electrical piloting signals for actuator devices of the differential as a function of the first and second yaw rate control signals.

  • System for the personalized automatic control of gear changes in a motor vehicle provided with servo-assisted gears
    Patent number: 6253139
    Abstract: The system includes a memory in which curves are stored which define the conditions for each gear change, corresponding to at least two reference styles of driving, sensors for operating parameters of the motor vehicle, and second processing devices set up to estimate the value of a first index which identifies the kind of driving of the motor vehicle and, respectively, the value of a second index which defines the manner or style of driving of the driver, and a processing and control unit.
