  • Coordination of a vehicle dynamics control system with other vehicles stability systems
    Patent number: 7305292
    Abstract: Described is a device for stabilizing a vehicle in critical driving situations, including a vehicle dynamics control system having a control unit, including a vehicle dynamics control algorithm, and at least one actuator and an additional vehicle stability system having an associated actuator. Vehicle dynamics control may be executed in a particularly simple and trouble-free manner when the vehicle dynamics control algorithm is retrofitted with a distribution function which derives an actuating request for an actuator of the vehicle dynamics control system as well as an actuating request for at least one actuator of the vehicle stability system from a controller output variable.

  • Driving stability management by a vehicle regulator system
    Publication number: 20050256622
    Abstract: A method and a device for influencing the handling characteristics of a vehicle, by increasing the vehicle stability and hence increasing the driving comfort for the driver of the vehicle. This is done by activating at least two systems in the vehicle, which improve the handling characteristics and thus the vehicle stability. The activation of a system occurs in a specified sequence as a function of the activation and/or of the effect of the preceding systems on the handling characteristics achieved by the activation. The sequence provided for this purpose is the initial activation of a chassis system, followed by a steering system and finally by a brake system.
