Patent number: 8471726Abstract: A system and method for collision warning in a host vehicle including: detecting a collision risk between the host vehicle and an other user of the road with a detection means based on input from at least one sensor which detects at least one parameter related to the other user of the road with respect to the host vehicle; identifying possible options to avoid a collision between the host vehicle and the other user of the road based on input from the detection means, wherein possible options for the host vehicle to avoid a collision are identified as well as possible options for the other user of the road to avoid a collision are identified; calculating among the identified possible options at least one preferred avoidance action in order to avoid a collision between the host vehicle and the other user of the road; and if the at least one preferred avoidance action involves at least one possible option identified for the other user of the road, then generating a warning signal from the host vehicle in a direcType: GrantFiled: March 1, 2011Date of Patent: June 25, 2013Assignee: Volvo Car CorporationInventors: Jonas Ekmark, Mattias Erik Brannstrom, Jonas Lars Zakarias Jansson, Erik Coelingh

Patent number: 7212896Abstract: A vehicle control system (10) including a vehicle motion control subsystem (12) that has an input receiving an intended driving demand (14) and a plurality of coordinator subsystems (16) for coordinating actuators of the vehicle. The vehicle motion control subsystem (12) communicates with the coordinator subsystems (16) to determine whether a single coordinator subsystem (16) can carry out the intended driving demand (14). The vehicle motion control subsystem (12) will distribute demand signals among one or more of the coordinator subsystems (16) to allow the vehicle to implement the intended driving demand (14).Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2002Date of Patent: May 1, 2007Assignee: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Erik Coelingh, Jonas Ekmark, Mats Andersson, Jan Ryderstam, Per Olsson, Per Persson, Soren Eriksson

Publication number: 20040148080Abstract: A steering system and control system for controlling an assist force imposed to the steering assembly of a vehicle, so as to deliver a steering wheel resist torque that can be felt by the vehicle driver and a method for the same, wherein the actual steering wheel resist torque is compared with a desired steering wheel resist torque, whereupon the actual steering wheel resist torque is adapted to be substantially the same as the desired steering wheel resist torque through adapting the amount of said assist force.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2003Publication date: July 29, 2004Inventors: Jonas Ekmark, Erik Coelingh, Jochen Pohl
