Abstract: A method for stabilizing an unstable driving state in a single-track vehicle, in particular a motorcycle, wherein a prespecified driving situation, in particular braking, particularly while driving in a straight trajectory or a nearly straight trajectory, is detected; at least one yaw rate ({dot over (?)}) and/or one side slip angle (?) of the vehicle is determined for the detection of an unstable driving state of the vehicle; the determined yaw rate ({dot over (?)}) and/or the determined side slip angle (?) is/are evaluated; and when an unstable driving stat is detected, the braking torque of one wheel, in particular the front wheel, is reduced. A device for stabilizing an unstable driving state in a single-track vehicle is also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for determining a vehicle reference speed (VREF) in a brake system of amotorized single-track vehicle (201), of a type having an anti-lock control system (203). The slip control (204) can be carried out at one wheel (VR) of the motor vehicle depending on the vehicle reference speed (VREF). A sensor (202) for measuring the wheel speed (v) is arranged on this slip-controllable wheel (VR) and comprises the steps of forming a first wheel speed signal (vfilt—gradlim) by low-pass filtering of the measured wheel speed (v). Wherein the negative gradient of the first wheel speed signal (vfilt—gradlim) is limited to a predetermined gradient limit value (?vmax—n/T), and that the first wheel speed signal (vfilt—gradlim) is used as a wheel-specific vehicle reference speed (VREF, 3, 42, 62, 102, 110, 122, 123, 142) for slip control of the wheel (VR).

Abstract: The present invention describes a method for detecting a tire pressure drop in motor vehicle tires by comparing ratios of tire pressures from select pairs of vehicle tires and detecting a prelimimary pressure drop by checking whether at least one reference value includes a predetermined minimum difference from a nominal value for this reference value.

Abstract: A method for creating a correction value table for a test variable for identifying the pressure loss in a tire of a vehicle comprises the steps of determining a driving dynamics variable of the vehicle, determining a correction value for the test variable, and storing the said in dependence on the value of the driving dynamics variable that prevailed during the correction value determination. A method of determining a corrected test variable for identifying a pressure loss in the tire of a vehicle comprises the steps of determining a test variable from the wheel radii or from variables that mirror these wheel radii of at least two wheels, preparing a correction value table by means of the method as described hereinabove, determining a driving dynamics variable of the vehicle, reading out of a correction value from the table in accordance with the value of the driving dynamics variable, and correcting the test variable by means of the correction value.

Abstract: A method for improving side roll, initially based on a conceivably unfavorable motor vehicle load to indicate a stability-critical transversal acceleration or related variable when the vehicle begins to travel. By observing the motor vehicle during travel, information on real mass distribution can be obtained. Whenever there is a danger of tilting during cornering, braking occurs in at least the front wheel that is located towards the outside of the bend, resulting in a reduction of lateral forces and transversal acceleration. An additional active motor vehicle suspension can also be provided.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of detecting the roll angle of a cornering vehicle which comprises at least one axle and at least two wheels, the vehicle being equipped with a transverse acceleration sensor means which senses the transverse acceleration that acts on the center of gravity of the automotive vehicle generally in the horizontal plane of the vehicle. To provide a method which does not require an additional sensor means and is virtually independent of given vehicle characteristics or dimensions, the component of the transverse acceleration which essentially acts in the horizontal plane of the vehicle is detected by the transverse acceleration sensor means during cornering.

Abstract: A method for limiting the transverse acceleration of a traveling vehicle consisting of the steps: detection of a driving condition with a critical transverse acceleration, influencing the braking pressure on at least one wheel, and/or influencing the driving torque when the driving condition having a critical transverse acceleration has been detected. A device for limiting the transverse acceleration of a traveling vehicle has a detection device for detecting a driving condition with a critical transverse acceleration, and an influencing device for influencing the braking pressure on at least one wheel and/or for influencing the driving torque when the detection device has detected a driving condition with a critical transverse acceleration.
