  • Vehicle stability control system
    Patent number: 7966113
    Abstract: A vehicle stability system for a vehicle. In an embodiment the vehicle stability system includes a yaw rate sensor, an acceleration sensor, a steering sensor, a torque request sensor, and a controller. The controller is configured to receive an output of the yaw rate sensor, the lateral acceleration sensor, the steering sensor, and the torque request sensor, generate a torque signal and a braking signal, and transmit the torque signal to a differential in addition to transmitting the braking signal to a braking system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 25, 2005
    Date of Patent: June 21, 2011
    Assignee: Robert Bosch GmbH
    Inventors: Michael Kroehnert, Siegfried Jauch, Flavio Nardi, Andris Samsons, Vaughan Scott

  • Method and device for stabilizing a vehicle
    Patent number: 6904991
    Abstract: 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.
