181 METHOD OF ADJUSTING A MOTOR VEHICLE ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM US12185435 2008-08-04 US20080288139A1 2008-11-20 Christophe Bouchard; Richard Sautereau
The invention relates to a method of adjusting an electronic stability program (ESP) for a motor vehicle. This method comprises various steps, including in particular: establishing the curve of the consumption values (Cesp) as a function of time, said curve being representative of the differences (dCM) of the measured yaw angles and the setpoint yaw angles (dCM=LM−LC) versus the measured triggering threshold values (St), modifying the nominal threshold values (Sv) by a percentage that is proportional to the consumption values (Cesp).
182 Vehicle control device and vehicle control method US10864820 2004-06-10 US07373236B2 2008-05-13 Koji Matsuno; Masaru Kogure
Steering stability of a vehicle under a traveling state such as cornering is enhanced by controlling a state of the vehicle based on cornering powers of right and left wheels. A detecting unit 1 detects action force containing longitudinal force Fx, lateral force Fy and vertical force Fz which act on each wheel. A specifying unit 2 specifies a friction coefficient between the wheels and road surface. An estimating unit 6 estimates cornering power ka of each wheel based on the action force and the friction coefficient. A processing unit 7 determines control values so that the representative value ka_ave of the cornering powers concerning the right and left wheels is larger than the present value of the representative value ka_ave of the cornering powers concerning the right and left wheels. Controlling units 8 to 10 control the state of the vehicle based on the control values thus determined.
183 Yaw moment control system of vehicle US11901709 2007-09-18 US20080084110A1 2008-04-10 Kazuasa Suzuki; Minoru Higuchi; Yasuji Shibahata
A rotatable grip (ancillary operation member) is provided on a part of a steering wheel body of a steering wheel (main operation member) for turning wheels. When the grip is rotated, a difference is generated between left and right wheels, and a yaw moment generated with this difference can assist or suppress the turning of a vehicle. Because the grip constitutes a part of the steering wheel body, it is possible to rotate the grip to assist or suppress the turning of the vehicle, while operating the steering wheel to turn the vehicle. Because both the steering wheel body and the grip can be operated by the same hand of a driver, operational burden on the driver is alleviated. Thus, it is possible to concurrently provide an excellent operability of the main operation member for controlling a kinetic state of the vehicle, and an excellent operability of the ancillary operation member for controlling the operation of a yaw moment generating device.

185 Vehicle stability control enhancement using tire force characteristics US10978915 2004-11-01 US07292924B2 2007-11-06 Danny R. Milot
A method of controlling an advanced chassis control system of a vehicle such as an anti-lock brake system, traction control system, vehicle stability control system, or roll control system affecting the vehicle dynamic performance and safety is disclosed. A control unit controls the operation of the advanced chassis control system based at least in part upon predictions of force generating characteristics of tires of the vehicle and driver input signals. The advanced chassis control system of the vehicle is controlled in one manner if the tire is determined to be inflated, controlled in another, different manner if the tire is determined to be deflated. During normal driving, the chassis control systems can operate to control the vehicle according to the desires of the driver while accounting for at least one tire being deflated. During braking the controller can act to distribute braking forces in order to divert forces from the deflated tire to the inflated tires.

The present device relates to a driving dynamics control system for vehicles, including at least one signal distribution to which vehicle data, environment data and data regarding the driver's request are sent in the form of input data, and including several controllable or regulatable subsystems which modify the dynamics of the vehicle such as a driver-independently adjustable steering system, a driver-independently adjustable chassis, a driver-independently adjustable brake, and a driver-independently adjustable driving track.

195 Tire contact load control system US83718 1998-05-22 US6036199A 2000-03-14 Kei Oshida; Masaki Izawa
An active actuator is interposed between the unsprung mass and the sprung mass of a vehicle, and a controller selectively extends and retracts the actuator at a prescribed acceleration so as to selectively apply an additional contact load to the wheel by making use of the inertial force of the sprung mass and/or the unsprung mass of the vehicle. A particularly advantageous result can be achieved by increasing the tire contact load according to the judgment of the vehicle operator who would, for example, actuate a switch at a desired or appropriate time such as when braking the vehicle, turning a curve or accelerating on a slippery road surface.
