Publication number: 20240112283Abstract: The present disclosure provides an ecological governance method based on erosion prevention and control for a gentle slope farmland and relates to the technical field of ecological governance of farmlands. The ecological governance method based on erosion prevention and control for a gentle slope farmland includes the following steps: sampling a gentle slope farmland to investigate erosion thereof; and determining erosion of a gentle slope cultivated land and selecting a corresponding recovery strategy based on a detection result of a sample, a soil quality index (SQI), and a comprehensive vegetation quality index (VQI), where the recovery strategy includes a natural recovery method and a biological-farming comprehensive recovery method; enclosing the gentle slope cultivated land, fallowing the gentle slope cultivated land and reducing tillage; exterminating insect pests and poisonous weeds in the enclosed area; and turning over straws under soil by a cultivator. The growth of poisonous weeds is inhibited.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Inventors: Weiping Yan, Shaofeng Bian, Yongjun Wang, Hongxiang Zhao, Lihua Zhang, Baoyu Chen, Hongjun Wang, Tiehua Cao, Xuanhe Liang, Guobo Tan, Ning Sun, Chen Xu, Fei Li, Xiangmeng Meng, Jinghua Wang, Qingge Wang

Patent number: 9691282Abstract: A method for a driver assistance system for a vehicle is specified, wherein objects in the surroundings of a vehicle are detected on the basis of data of a system that covers the surroundings, and a potential free zone in which only no objects and/or objects which the vehicle can drive over have been reliably detected is determined. The potential free zone is verified by further vehicle and/or surroundings information.Type: GrantFiled: February 29, 2012Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Andreas Hartmann, Ning Bian, Kai Bretzigheimer, Thorsten Staab, Daniel Förster

Patent number: 9014921Abstract: A method in which the driving behavior of a vehicle is influenced as a function of data on the surroundings in order to assist an avoidance maneuver, as soon as a risk of a collision is detected on the basis of the data from one or more environment sensors, in particular radar sensors and/or cameras, and the data from one or more vehicle sensors, in particular a steering angle sensor and/or yaw rate sensor and/or wheel speed sensors, and the vehicle has an electronically controlled brake system which permits a driver-independent buildup and modulation of the braking forces at the individual wheels of the vehicle, wherein when a risk of a collision is detected, in a first phase a turning-in operation by the driver is assisted and/or in a second phase a steering operation by the driver is damped. Furthermore, an electronic control unit for a brake system is defined.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2011Date of Patent: April 21, 2015Assignee: Continental Teves AG & Co. oHGInventors: Kai Bretzigheimer, Daniel Förster, Ning Bian, Andreas Hartmann, Thorsten Staab

Patent number: 8437907Abstract: In a method for determining a roadway state (STATE) of a roadway on which a vehicle (10) is travelling which has at least one wheel (14) and an acceleration sensor (24) which is assigned to the wheel (14), in order to determine a vertical component of an acceleration of the wheel (14), a characteristic value which is representative of the roadway state (STATE) is determined as a function of a measured signal (AC_VERT) of the acceleration sensor (18).Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2007Date of Patent: May 7, 2013Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventors: Ning Bian, Celine Gamulescu, Andreas Mayer, Thomas Schweiger

Patent number: 8370019Abstract: A friction coefficient between at least one tire of a motor vehicle and a roadway is estimated recursively. A kingpin inclination angle is detected or measured. A model determines a lateral friction value by defining a functional correlation between that value and the angle such that a non-linear course of that value relative to the angle is dependant on an initial increase of that value relative to the angle and on a recursively determined estimated value of the friction coefficient. The initial increase is defined substantially independently from the recursively determined estimated value. In addition, a measurement variable of the driving dynamics is captured. Depending on the lateral friction value, the driving dynamics model variable is determined. Furthermore, a variance between the driving dynamics measurement variable and the driving dynamics model value is determined. The recursion when acquiring the estimated value includes that the estimated value is adjusted.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2007Date of Patent: February 5, 2013Assignee: Continental Automotive GmbHInventors: Ning Bian, Jens Fiedler, Celine Gamulescu, Andreas Mayer

Publication number: 20110015906Abstract: In a method for determining a coefficient of friction between a motor vehicle tire of a motor vehicle and the surface of a roadway, a first coefficient of friction parameter (?est—used,ij) is determined using a model (RM) in which a functional correlation between the first coefficient of friction parameter (?est—used,ij) and a slip (Sij) of the motor vehicle tire is set. A second coefficient of friction parameter (?quasi—meas—used,ij) is determined from the quotient between a longitudinal force (FL) and a vertical force (FZ) of the motor vehicle tire. The first and the second coefficient of friction parameters (?est—used,ij, ?quasi—meas—used,ij) are used to determine the coefficient of friction (?R,ij) by a recursive estimation algorithm.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2008Publication date: January 20, 2011Inventors: Ning Bian, Celine Gamulescu, Thomas Haas, Matthias Kretschmann
