  • Control device for the active steering of a vehicle
    Patent number: 8177020
    Abstract: A control device for the active steering of a vehicle comprising a driving differential that is positioned between a steering wheel and steering control means, said differential which furthermore receives at a first input a counter-steering command supplied by a turn correction motor, wherein said steering wheel is linked to a second input of said differential by non-return means preventing any force feedback from said differential to said steering wheel.
    Type: Grant

  • Slowing down process for a vehicle taking a bend
    Patent number: 7603221
    Abstract: An automatic slowing down system for a vehicle taking a bend includes a computer that integrates a series of instructions to process at least one of first, second and third signals according to kinematic control laws of vehicle displacement to deliver signals for a forward motion actuator and a steering actuator, a forward control and a steering control that supply the first signal representative of a forward motion data and a steering data to the computer based on an operator's requirement, a linear speed sensor and a yaw speed sensor that supply the second signal to the computer, and a unit that supplies the third signal relating to road grip to the computer.
