  • Patent number: 8200405
    Abstract: A method and a device for detecting the initiation of a starting process of a motorcycle are disclosed. The method includes the step of acquiring a throttle valve angle (?), an engine speed (nengine) or both the throttle valve angle (?) and the engine speed (nengine). The method further includes the step of analyzing the throttle valve angle (?), the engine speed (nengine) or both the throttle valve angle (?) and the engine speed (nengine) to detect the initiation of the starting process of the motorcycle. The device includes both a means for acquiring and a means for analyzing the throttle valve angle (?), the engine speed (nengine) or both the throttle valve angle (?) and the engine speed (nengine).

  • Patent number: 7734403
    Abstract: A system for vehicle driver support carrying out assist functions in a motor vehicle for supporting the driver in stopping and starting maneuvers, which are activated depending on a first comparison between at least one driving state parameter and a threshold value and/or based on first actuating signals from an actuating unit operable by the driver. A control unit determines a vehicle state by way of another comparison of at least one driving state variable with a predetermined threshold value and/or based on additional actuating signals of the actuating unit, in that the control unit checks whether at least one assist function is activated, and in that the control unit controls the brake system of the vehicle depending on the detected vehicle state when at least one assist function is activated.

  • Publication number: 20080294319
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for vehicle driver support, carrying out assist functions to support the driver for stopping and starting procedures, activated depending on a first comparison between at least one vehicle state parameter and a threshold value and/or based on first operating signals from an operating means operated by the driver. The system is characterised in that a control unit (SSM) determines at least one vehicle state by means of a further comparison of a vehicle state parameter with a given threshold value and/or by means of a further operating signals from the operating means, the control unit checks whether an assist function is activated and the control unit operates the brake system of the vehicle, depending on the determined vehicle state when at least one assist function is activated.

  • Publication number: 20080046159
    Abstract: A single-track vehicle comprising a brake control unit, wherein the brake control unit includes a means for actively assisting the driver by means of an active variation or limitation of a vehicle speed or of a quantity derived therefrom, in particular vehicle acceleration.
