  • Patent number: 9527488
    Abstract: A method for braking a vehicle, a braking intervention being performed on at least one wheel of the vehicle, a total brake force for the braking intervention being generated by a hydraulic unit in the vehicle on the one hand, and, on the other hand, by at least one electric motor assigned to the one wheel, which at all times supports the brake force generated by the hydraulic unit, the total brake force being generated by modulating a brake force generated by the hydraulic unit and by modulation of the brake force generated by the electric motor on the at least one wheel, the brake force of the hydraulic unit and the brake force of the electric motor being added to yield the total brake force, and an amount of the particular brake force being controlled by a controller as a function of a driving situation of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 9221466
    Abstract: In a method for automatically correcting a state variable of a vehicle, in the event of the vehicle having departed from the predefined lane a vehicle control system is re-parameterized in such a way that an intervention predefined by the driver is converted in a reduced manner into a change in a vehicle state variable.

  • Patent number: 9168889
    Abstract: A method for releasing a restraint device for a rider on a vehicle, the restraint device having a connecting element by which the rider is detachably connected to the vehicle, includes: ascertaining an inclination angle and/or a slope angle of the vehicle; ascertaining a rotational rate about a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and/or a transverse axis of the vehicle; comparing each ascertained rotational rate with an associated critical rotational rate which is a function of the inclination angle and/or the slope angle; and releasing the connecting element if the ascertained rotational rate is at least equal to the associated critical rotational rate.

  • Publication number: 20150232091
    Abstract: A method for avoiding an accident or for reducing the effects of an accident for a rider of a vehicle, especially a two-wheeled or three-wheeled vehicle, includes a first method step in which information is ascertained by a first accident-preventing system and/or a first system for mitigating the effects of an accident; a second method step in which the information is transmitted to a second accident-preventing system and/or a second system for mitigating the effects of an accident; and a third method step in which the second accident-preventing system and/or the second system for mitigating the effects of an accident are/is preconditioned on the basis of the information. The first and second accident-preventing systems differ from each other, and the first and second systems for mitigating the effects of an accident differ from each other.

  • Publication number: 20130184952
    Abstract: In a method for setting characteristic variables of a brake system in a motor vehicle, driver type identification is performed first and the identified driver type is classified into an assigned driver type class. Brake system characteristic variables of this class of driver type are then activated.
