  • Patent number: 8977430
    Abstract: An electronic stability control indication system including a bar-graph-type display, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, control the operation of the electronic stability control indication system. The system receives a first signal from a yaw rate sensor indicative of an actual yaw rate of the vehicle. The system then determines a target yaw rate and a threshold difference for the vehicle. If the difference between the actual yaw rate and the target yaw rate exceeds the difference threshold, an electronic stability control system is activated. The system also provides a visual representation of the difference between the actual yaw rate and the target yaw ratio relative to the threshold difference on the bar-graph-type display.

  • Patent number: 8874306
    Abstract: Systems and methods of monitoring redundant vacuum sensors in the same vacuum chamber of a braking system to determine when an error condition is present in a braking system. The braking system includes a first sensor positioned in a chamber of the braking system and a second sensor positioned in the same chamber. A first reading is received from the first sensor and a second reading is received from the second sensor. A difference between the first reading and the second reading is determined. An error condition is indicated when the difference between the first reading and the second reading is greater than a threshold.
