  • Safety system for vehicle occupants
    Patent number: 7706946
    Abstract: A safety system for occupants of a vehicle having, e.g., acceleration sensors and/or pressure sensors for sensing a side crash. The safety system also includes a detector to detect the lateral velocity of the vehicle. The control of the restraining devices of the safety system is able to be influenced by the detected lateral velocity.

  • Safety System For Vehicle Occupants
    Publication number: 20080208413
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a safety system for occupants of a vehicle 1, having means such as, in particular, acceleration sensors and/or pressure sensors for sensing a side crash. The safety system 20 also includes means for detecting the lateral velocity vQ of vehicle 1. The control of the restraining devices of the safety system is able to be influenced by the detected lateral velocity. A method for the control of a safety system is also described.

  • Coordination of a vehicle dynamics control system with a rear-wheel steering system
    Publication number: 20060025896
    Abstract: A device is described for stabilizing a vehicle in critical driving situations, including a vehicle dynamics control system having a control unit, in which a vehicle dynamics controller is stored, at least one final control element, and a sensor system for measuring different driving condition variables, and including a rear-wheel steering system having a control unit and a final control element. The electronic stability program may be integrated into a control unit if the electronic stability program algorithm includes a distributor unit which, from a regulator output variable, generates both a setpoint requirement for the final control element of the vehicle dynamics control system and also a setpoint requirement for the final control element of the rear-wheel steering system.
