  • Driving assistance method for a vehicle, control unit, driving assistance system, and vehicle
    Patent number: 11993272
    Abstract: A driving assistance method for a vehicle. An instantaneous speed of the vehicle and an instantaneous yaw rate of the vehicle are ascertained. An operation of self-locating of the vehicle is carried out on the basis of the ascertained, instantaneous speed and the ascertained, instantaneous yaw rate of the vehicle. To that end, an instantaneous circumferential wheel speed of one or more wheels of the vehicle is directly measured, evaluated and taken as a basis of the determination of the instantaneous speed and the instantaneous yaw rate of the vehicle.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and device for ascertaining a dynamic tire circumference of a means of transportation
    Patent number: 11840242
    Abstract: A method and a device for ascertaining a dynamic tire circumference of a transportation vehicle. The method includes: receiving a first signal representing a yaw rate of the transportation vehicle, a second signal representing a wheel rotation speed of a wheel of the transportation vehicle, a third signal representing a steering angle of the transportation vehicle, and a fourth signal representing a dynamic track width of the transportation vehicle; ascertaining a first output signal of a first Kalman filter that represents the dynamic tire circumference of the wheel, using the first signal, the second signal, the third signal, and the fourth signal as input signals for the first Kalman filter; and using the first output signal in a control unit of the transportation vehicle.
