  • Control device, an at least semi-automatically driving vehicle, a vehicle combination, and a method
    Patent number: 11584454
    Abstract: A control device, a vehicle, a vehicle combination, and a method, the control device being designed to provide a first control signal for the approach of the vehicle to a further vehicle in a first portion of a travel route of the vehicle, the control device being designed to provide a second control signal for the coupling of the vehicle to the further vehicle in the first portion of the travel route, in order to provide a passage between the vehicle and the further vehicle, via which a person may change over between the vehicle and the further vehicle.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 7, 2020
    Date of Patent: February 21, 2023
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Benjamin Baust, Markus Schulz-Weiling

  • Method and device for detecting a critical snaking motion of a trailer of a vehicle combination
    Patent number: 9682709
    Abstract: A method is provided for the detection of a critical snaking motion of a trailer of a vehicle combination, in which a setpoint yaw rate of the trailer is ascertained from the transverse acceleration of the trailer and the longitudinal speed of the vehicle combination, the actual yaw rate of the trailer is ascertained using a yaw rate sensor, and by a comparison of the curve over time of the setpoint yaw rate and the actual yaw rate, the presence of a critical snaking motion of the trailer is ascertained.

    Date of Patent: June 20, 2017
    Assignee: ROBERT BOSCH GMBH
    Inventors: Benjamin Baust, Markus Beisswenger
  • Method and device for stabilizing a vehicle combination made up of a tractor vehicle and a trailer
    Patent number: 9493156
    Abstract: A method and a device are provided for stabilizing a vehicle combination made up of a tractor vehicle and a trailer in case of fishtailing motions, in which—the presence of a fishtailing motion of the tractor vehicle is detected,—after the exceeding of a first threshold value by the amplitude of an oscillating fishtailing variable characterizing the fishtailing motion, a driver-independent steering intervention in the steering actuator system of the tractor vehicle takes place and—after the exceeding of a second threshold value by the amplitude of the fishtailing variable, a driver-independent braking intervention in the brake actuator system of the tractor vehicle takes place,—the second threshold value being selected to be greater than the first threshold value.

  • METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING A CRITICAL SNAKING MOTION OF A TRAILER OF A VEHICLE COMBINATION
    Publication number: 20150353096
    Abstract: A method is provided for the detection of a critical snaking motion of a trailer of a vehicle combination, in which a setpoint yaw rate of the trailer is ascertained from the transverse acceleration of the trailer and the longitudinal speed of the vehicle combination, the actual yaw rate of the trailer is ascertained using a yaw rate sensor, and by a comparison of the curve over time of the setpoint yaw rate and the actual yaw rate, the presence of a critical snaking motion of the trailer is ascertained.
