  • Regulation of driving dynamics, featuring advanced build-up of pressure at the wheel to be regulated
    Patent number: 7848866
    Abstract: A method for improving the efficiency of a driving dynamics regulating system which intervenes in the driving operation in critical driving situations by automatic braking intervention at selected wheels. It is possible for the reaction speed of the brake system 3 to be considerably increased if, before the actual regulating intervention, the imminent critical driving situation is already detected and a slight preparatory brake pressure is already built up at least one wheel at which a future regulating intervention is expected.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 22, 2004
    Date of Patent: December 7, 2010
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Matthew Nimmo, Matthias Hey
  • Rollover stability system including allowance for the steering angle
    Patent number: 7788006
    Abstract: In a rollover stability method for a vehicle in a situation which is critical with respect to the driving dynamics, a critical rollover situation is detected by analyzing a control variable and the stabilization intervention is activated or de-activated as a function of the control variable. The regulation intervention is maintained even in driving situations featuring relatively low transverse acceleration if the control variable or a characteristic property of the stability algorithm is calculated as a function of the steering angle and/or the longitudinal vehicle velocity.
