Method and system for determining a reference yaw rate for a vehicle

Номер: US20120109458A1
Автор: David M. Sidlosky
Принадлежит: GM GLOBAL TECHNOLOGY OPERATIONS LLC

The method and system described herein may be used to determine a reference yaw rate (γ ref ) for a vehicle chassis control system, and may do so across a wide spectrum of vehicle operating conditions. These conditions may include, for example, when the vehicle is being driven: at low and high vehicle speeds, in forward and reverse directions, with front-, rear- and all-wheel steering systems, according to subtle and aggressive driving maneuvers, and on roads with flat or banked surfaces, to cite a few of the potential scenarios. According to an exemplary embodiment, the method and system take into account certain tire dynamics, such as the relaxation length (λ) of the tires, when estimating the reference yaw rate (γ ref ). Once an accurate reference yaw rate (γ ref ) is determined, the vehicle chassis control system may use this estimate to control one or more actuators that can influence the yaw rate of the vehicle. Some non-limiting examples of systems that may include such actuators are chassis systems, brake systems, steering systems, suspension systems, safety systems, stability control systems, traction control systems, torque control systems, or any other system that can affect the vehicle yaw rate. It is also possible for the method and system described herein to determine a reference lateral velocity (V yref ) for the vehicle as well.

A vehicle control system includes a forward vehicle sensor transmitting a forward vehicle message based on a distance to a forward vehicle. An adaptive cruise controller receives the forward vehicle message and receives at least one additional message indicating a respective status of the vehicle, the adaptive cruise controller sets a braking pressure for an adaptive cruise controller braking event above a default braking pressure if the adaptive cruise controller determines, based on the at least one of the additional messages, that the vehicle will maintain stability during the adaptive cruise controller braking event.

Vehicle systems control for improving stability

Номер: US20120265402A1
Автор: II James W. Post, William Monsma, Xiaodi Kang
Принадлежит: Honda Motor Co Ltd

Improved methods of controlling the stability of a vehicle are provided via the cooperative operation of vehicle stability control systems such as an Active Yaw Control system, Antilock Braking System, and Traction Control System. These methods use recognition of road surface information including the road friction coefficient (mu), wheel slippage, and yaw deviations. The methods then modify the settings of the active damping system and/or the distribution of drive torque, as necessary, to increase/reduce damping in the suspension and shift torque application at the wheels, thus preventing a significant shift of load in the vehicle and/or improving vehicle drivability and comfort. The adjustments of the active damping system or torque distribution temporarily override any characteristics that were pre-selected by the driver.

Disclosed is a vehicle control apparatus which can prevent the deterioration of drivability. The ECU can set a control accelerator opening degree to be converted when a control permission condition is established. The control accelerator opening degree is equal to or larger than an accelerator lower limit which is larger than an idle determination value for determining an automatic stopping of an engine by an eco-run. The control accelerator opening degree thus set can prevent the drivability from being deteriorated without the automatic stopping of the engine being caused even if the accelerator opening degree is converted to reduce the torque of the engine with the establishment of the control permission condition.

Принадлежит: ROBERT BOSCH GMBH

A method for reducing the steering torque in a motor vehicle in a driving situation in which the vehicle is being braked and steered at the same time. By shifting the brake force to the rear wheels, the front wheels become easier to steer compared to a standard brake force distribution. The maximum required power of an electric steering assistance system is thus greatly reduced.

An air delivery system is operable to on-board compressed air to an associated work vehicle from an associated or auxiliary source such as for example an external large compressor or air storage tank for assisting a tire inflation system (TIS) of the associated work vehicle to expedite tire inflation particularly when transitioning to a desired raised tire pressure, and is further operable to off-board compressed air from a compressor of the TIS system on-board the associated work vehicle for delivery from the TIS to an associated or external compressed air consuming device such as an implement attached with the associated work vehicle or the like. A bi-directional air delivery retrofit kit 700 provides on-boarding and off-boarding of an extra-vehicular compressed air product relative to an associated work vehicle. A dual source air delivery system provides pressurized air to an air storage device from on-board and off-board pressurized air sources.

Braking/driving force control system

Номер: US20200247385A1
Автор: Shin Nomura, Takeshi Inoguchi, Tomonori NONAMI, Yoshihide Nakane
Принадлежит: Toyota Motor Corp

A braking/driving force control system, during control for maintaining a target vehicle speed, performs fuel cut and then, when a required braking/driving force for maintaining the target vehicle speed reduces, makes a downshift while fuel cut is continued. The braking/driving force control system causes a brake to generate a braking force such that the sum of a braking/driving force that a powertrain generates and the braking force that the brake generates agrees with the required braking/driving force. Thus, good fuel efficiency and riding comfort are obtained.
