  • Acquisition and evaluation of measured variables which are critical for safety
    Patent number: 6317674
    Abstract: For the acquisition and evaluation of safety-critical measured quantities, for example, of yaw rates (GR) as an input quantity of an automotive vehicle control system, the measured quantities are produced by way of two measuring channels (M1, M2) which are independent of each other. One measuring channel (M1) covers the entire measuring range, and the other measuring channel (M2) is set to a partial measuring range. To identify errors, the output quantities of the measuring channels (M1, M2) are checked for correlation with the measured quantities acquired by the measuring channels and/or for plausibility of the measurement results.
