A control system (18) and method for an automotive vehicle (10) includes a roll rate sensor (34) for generating a roll rate signal, a lateral acceleration sensor (32) for generating a lateral acceleration signal, a longitudinal acceleration sensor (36) for generating a longitudinal acceleration signal, and a yaw rate sensor (28) for generating a yaw rate signal. A safety device or system (44) and the sensors are coupled to a controller. The controller (26) determines an added mass and the height of the added mass on the vehicle, or a roll gradient, a roll acceleration coefficient, and/or a roll rate parameter that take into account the added mass and height from the roll rate, the lateral acceleration, the longitudinal acceleration, and the yaw rate of the vehicle, and controls the safety system in response thereto.

A control system (18) and method for controlling an automotive vehicle (10) includes a number of sensors that are used to generate a potential rollover signal. In response to the potential rollover, active differentials (112, 114, 116) may be used alone or in addition to braking to prevent the vehicle from rolling over.

A vehicle includes a control system that is used to control a vehicle system. The control system determines a roll condition in response to a yaw rate sensor and a pitch rate sensor without having to use a roll rate sensor. A relative roll angle, relative pitch angle, global roll angle, and global pitch angle may also be determined. A safety system may be controlled in response to the roll condition, roll angle, or the pitch angles individually or in combination.

A system for providing post-impact signals in a vehicle is provided. The vehicle includes at least one impact zone with a passive safety sensor positioned at designated sections of the vehicle. The system comprises a plurality of passive safety sensors, a passive safety controller, and an active safety controller. The passive safety controller determines the impact location, impact direction and intensity. The passive safety controller transmits a passive output signal indicative of the impact intensity, impact direction and impact location. The active safety controller stabilizes the vehicle post-impact in response to the passive output signal.

A system determines an absolute tilt angle in relation to the horizontal, especially for use in a motor vehicle. The system includes at least one sensor element having a main axis of sensitivity and disposed such that its main axis of sensitivity lies in the plane of the tilt angle to be detected. The at least one sensor element produces a sensor signal depending on the tilt angle in relation to the horizontal. The sensor signal is a measured acceleration of the system. The system also includes a device for detecting an acceleration component of the measured acceleration and a processing unit to which the measured acceleration and the acceleration component are supplied in order to determine an acceleration component-corrected acceleration from which the absolute tilt angle of the system in relation to the horizontal can be determined.

A road surface friction coefficient μ is calculated based on a detected lateral acceleration and a front-rear acceleration, and a roll angle is calculated using a roll rate. Further, a maximum engine torque value that can be applied to a drive wheel without causing slipping thereof is calculated based on the road surface friction coefficient μ and a gear ratio. A torque transmission rate that indicates a reduction rate for engine output is set so as to reduce in accordance with a roll angle, and a target engine torque value is calculated by correcting the maximum engine torque value using the torque transmission rate. Accordingly, adjustment is executed such that the engine output is made smaller as the roll angle increases. Thus, abrupt changes in vehicle behavior are not caused by sudden starting of control, and it is possible to inhibit drive feeling from deteriorating.

A system and method for providing a vehicle roll stability indicator that dynamically estimates the probability for vehicle rollover. The system determines vehicle kinematics from various vehicle sensors. From these kinematic values, the system estimates a roll angle of the vehicle and a bank angle of the vehicle. The estimated bank angle is used to correct the roll angle. The system determines a roll energy of the vehicle and a roll energy rate of the vehicle from the corrected roll angle. The system also calculates a tire lateral load transfer of the relative forces on the vehicle tires, and the duration that any of the tires have been off of the ground. From the roll energy, the roll energy rate, the tire lateral load transfer and the wheel airborne duration, the system calculates the roll stability indicator.

A stability control system (24) for an automotive vehicle as includes a plurality of sensors (28–37) sensing the dynamic conditions of the vehicle and a controller (26) that controls a distributed brake pressure to reduce a tire moment so the net moment of the vehicle is counter to the roll direction. The sensors include a speed sensor (30), a lateral acceleration sensor (32), a roll rate sensor (34), and a yaw rate sensor (20). The controller (26) is coupled to the speed sensor (30), the lateral acceleration sensor (32), the roll rate sensor (34), the yaw rate sensor (28). The controller (26) determines a roll angle estimate in response to lateral acceleration, roll rate, vehicle speed, and yaw rate. The controller (26) changes a tire force vector using brake pressure distribution in response to the relative roll angle estimate.

摘要:
A roll-over suppressing control apparatus for a vehicle is disclosed which can carry out roll-over suppressing control appropriately in response to the type of turning. Upon turning of the vehicle, if a parameter corresponding to the rolling behavior of the vehicle becomes higher than a control start criterion value set in advance, then roll-over suppressing control of suppressing rolling of the vehicle is started. Then, if the parameter becomes lower than a control end criterion value set in advance, then the roll-over suppressing control is ended. As the control end criterion value, a steady turning control end criterion value is used when the turning of the vehicle is steady turning, but when the turning of the vehicle is non-steady turning such as lane change turning, a non-steady turning control end criterion value set to a value lower than that of the steady turning control end criterion value is used.
