Patent number: 7149614Abstract: A device and the method are for the recognition and rectification of the danger of rollover of a vehicle, outfitted with a regulating system, about a vehicle axis oriented in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The regulating system controls actuators using its output signals in accordance with the output signal values. A variable describing the transverse dynamics of the vehicle is determined for the recognition of the danger of a rollover. This variable describing the transverse dynamics of the vehicle is compared to at least one characteristic value, e.g., a threshold value. In the case in which the variable describing the transverse dynamics of the vehicle is greater than, or equal to the characteristic value, the number of all possible combinations of output signal values that may be supplied to the actuators by the regulating system for stability regulation is restricted.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2002Date of Patent: December 12, 2006Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Ansgar Traechtler, Frank Leibeling, Marco Metzger

Patent number: 6904991Abstract: A method and a device for stabilizing a vehicle having at least one wheel tending to spin, are provided. In response to the tendency to spin, a driver-independent braking intervention occurs in the at least one wheel. The engine torque is reduced if the driver-independent braking intervention has not resulted in stabilizing the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2003Date of Patent: June 14, 2005Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Guenter Barth, Frank Leibeling, Michael Kroehnert

Publication number: 20050125122Abstract: A method for coordinating a vehicle stability system with an external vehicle dynamics control system, the systems processing various controller variables. The systems may be coordinated particularly well when the vehicle dynamics control system transmits a controller variable to the vehicle stability system and a resulting variable is formed from the supplied controller variable and an own controller variable, the resulting variable being taken into account in a regulation of the vehicle stability system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2004Publication date: June 9, 2005Inventors: Michael Knoop, Jochen Wagner, Frank Leibeling, Oliver Kust, Peter Zegelaar, Martin Kieren, Gernot Schroeder

Patent number: 6149251Abstract: A device and a process for controlling the braking force at at least one wheel of a vehicle include at least a first arrangement for determining a criterion which describes and/or influences the vehicle movement, a second arrangement for determining a variable which describes the wheel dynamics of the wheel in question, and a third arrangement with which it is determined, at least as a function of the criterion which was determined, whether a driver-independent brake intervention at a wheel is foreseeable. Furthermore, the device and the process contain a fourth arrangement with which a slight activation of the actuators assigned to the wheel, with variable duration, can be performed if the requirement of a foreseeable driver-independent brake intervention is met, this activation occurring before this driver-independent brake intervention. The duration of the slight activation of the actuators is determined at least as a function of the variables which describe the wheel dynamics of the wheel in question.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 1998Date of Patent: November 21, 2000Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Gebhard Wuerth, Elmar Mueller, Frank Leibeling, Dieter Schuetz

Patent number: 6061620Abstract: An device and a process for controlling the braking force at at least one wheel of a vehicle, including: a first arrangement with which a braking force can be at least built up at at least one wheel of a vehicle; a second arrangement with which an activation time for the first means to reach at least one defined state of the first means is determined; a third arrangement with which the activation time that is determined is compared with a pertinent predefined time which describes the defined state of the first means, and with which a correction factor is determined therefrom; fourth arrangement with which the activation times for the first means are corrected, as a function of the correction factor, in order to build up a selectable braking force at one wheel.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 1998Date of Patent: May 9, 2000Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Gebhard Wuerth, Elmar Mueller, Dieter Schuetz, Frank Leibeling

Patent number: 5832402Abstract: The movement of a vehicle is controlled by actuating actuators which apply a braking force to the wheels. For this purpose, the rotational speeds of the wheels, the steering angle and at least one of the lateral acceleration and the yawing movement of the vehicle are detected. A first module is configured so that the actuators are actuated by means of the actuation signals with the effect of controlling a first variable. The second module is configured so that signals for influencing the actuation signals are formed with the effect of controlling a second control variable. In order to obtain this second control variable, at least the variable which represents the steering angle is processed. The second controller component brings about a control of a variable which is determined at least as a function of the lateral movement or the yawing movement of the vehicle.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1995Date of Patent: November 3, 1998Assignee: Robert Bosch GMBHInventors: Jost Brachert, Elmar Mueller, Ralf Hadeler, Frank Leibeling, Juergen Schuh, Michael Schubert

Patent number: 5809444Abstract: Detection means are provided which detect the rotational movements of the wheels, a variable which represents the steering angle, and at least one variable which represents the lateral movement and/or the yawing movement of the vehicle. Signals for influencing actuators for braking the wheels are formed by controller means as a function of the detected data in such a way that a control variable which is dependent on at least the detected lateral movement or yawing movement of the vehicle is adjusted to a desired range of control variables, that is to say the actuators are influenced in such a way that the control variable is kept within a desired range. This desired range is defined by two specific limit values.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1995Date of Patent: September 15, 1998Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Ralf Hadeler, Frank Leibeling, Juergen Schuh, Michael Schubert

Patent number: 5790970Abstract: A movement variable which represents the movement of a vehicle is controlled by actuating at least one actuator for applying a braking force to the wheels. Controller means use controller internal variables to form signals for influencing the actuators with the effect of adjusting a control variable. The controller means has a first area adapted to the respective selected sensor configuration in such a way that the controller-internal variables are formed on the basis of the sensor signals, and a second area for processing the controller-internal variables independently of the selection of the sensor configuration. As a result, simple adaptation with low development and application outlay to a wide variety of sensor configurations is possible.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1995Date of Patent: August 4, 1998Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbHInventors: Jost Brachert, Elmar Mueller, Ralf Hadeler, Frank Leibeling, Juergen Schuh, Michael Schubert
