  • Method of obtaining the yawing velocity and/or transverse velocity of a vehicle
    Patent number: 5311431
    Abstract: A method for obtaining the yawing velocity .omega. and the transverse velocity v.sub.y of a vehicle so that these values can be employed, for example, in regulating the vehicle system, with the values being determined with the aid of simple sensors. Measured values are obtained for the transverse acceleration a.sub.y and the steering angles .delta. of the two axles, and the yawing velocity .omega. and the vehicle's transverse velocity v.sub.y are estimated therefrom in a state estimator.
