  • Method for controlling vehicle brake pressure as a function of the deviation of the actual slip of wheels relative to a desired slip
    Patent number: 5556176
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling vehicle brake pressure as a function of the deviation of the actual slip of wheels relative to a prescribed desired slip. The desired slip is determined from the wheel speeds in such a way that the cornering forces occurring between wheel and roadway given the specific desired slip values and the adhesion conditions occurring, ensure stable handling.

  • Method for determining quantities which characterize the driving behavior
    Patent number: 5548536
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining quantities which characterize driving behavior. Signals indicative of steering angle, longitudinal speed of the vehicle, and two transverse accelerations located one behind the other in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle, are fed to a computing device. The measured quantities are used to derive further quantities in the computing device using vehicle-specific quantities and a vehicle model. Furthermore, at least one of the further quantities is the sideslip angle or the yaw-angle velocity which are determined and output by the computing device.
