Abstract: A method for controlling a braking system in an all-wheel drive vehicle having a viscous coupling or a viscous lock, wherein a viscous torque acting on a wheel is estimated, the viscous torque is taken into account in estimating a desired braking pressure for the wheel, and the desired braking pressure is applied to the wheel.

Abstract: First and second signals representing unevenness of the roadway are generated for at least one wheel, and brake pressure is controlled using control parameters based on the second signal. The first signal is compared to a first threshold which is dependent on the second signal, and an extreme value signal which represents large impacts on the vehicle is generated when the threshold is exceeded. The control parameters are then adjusted so that the channels for controlling brake pressure at each controlled wheel are less sensitive.

Abstract: The object of the inventional system is the so-called "modal" variant of the skyhook damping. The advantage of this variant over the local version is essentially constituted by enabling an individual damping of the eigenoscillation forms. Moreover, a definitive roll or sway moment distribution can be adjusted. For that purpose there are signals determined which represent the local vehicle body movements at selected points of the vehicle body. Basing on these signals, the heave, roll and pitch movements are inferred. These movements are differently weighted depending on travel maneuvers. By actuation of the damper systems dependent on the weighted heave, roll and pitch movements a specific influencing of certain components of the body movement is possible.

Abstract: Suspension systems are actuated during braking and/or acceleration maneuvers whereby each wheel unit has a momentary normal force between the tire and road surface, i.e., the wheel load which is influenced in the direction of its greatest possible value. For that purpose, the progression of the wheel load, specifically the dynamic share, is determined from the sensed movements between the wheel units and the vehicle body and/or from the sensed movements of the wheel units. Results of a frequency analysis of the wheel loads and the time progression, specifically the time derivation of the wheel load, are utilized for adjustment of the suspension systems in the sense described above. The suspension systems between the vehicle body and wheels are during braking and/or acceleration maneuvers actuated whereby the mean spacing between the vehicle body and the wheels units is time-progressively reduced during the braking and/or acceleration maneuvers.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the undercarriage regulation of vehicles, especially of passenger and utility motor vehicles, in which the undercarraige properties are varied in dependence on the particular sensor-determined traveling state by the regulating system. For an adaptation of the undercarriage tuning to the various requirements in respect to traveling comfort and traveling safety it is provided that the regulator parameters (R) of the regulating circuit are automatically varied in dependence on the dynamics of the traveling process.

Abstract: Described is a process for conditioning of sensor signals for at least one of undercarriage regulation and control. The objective of this process is to superimpose on processed first signals which represent the acceleration of the vehicle body the low-frequency information absent from the signal of a vehicle body acceleration sensor by a circuit of simple design through a defined superimposition with the sensor signals corresponding to at least one of the spring deflection path and the spring deflection velocity. For that purpose, the sensor signals to be superimposed are processed in filter units whose transfer functions show a specific functional correlation.
