Rollover predictor judgment device of combination vehicle and combination vehicle
A rollover predictor judgment device for a combination vehicle includes a lateral acceleration sensor, a yaw rate sensor, an articulate angle sensor, and a judgment device in a form of a retarder controller. The judgment device judges that the combination vehicle is in a rollover predictor status when a first lateral acceleration calculated based on a detection value of the lateral acceleration sensor is a first threshold or more or when a second lateral acceleration calculated based on a detection value of the yaw rate sensor and a detection value of the articulate angle sensor is a second threshold or more.

A rollover predictor judgment device (30) for a combination vehicle (1) includes a lateral acceleration sensor (26), a yaw rate sensor (27), an articulate angle sensor (23), and a judgment device in a form of a retarder controller (32). The judgment device judges that the combination vehicle is in a rollover predictor status when a first lateral acceleration calculated based on a detection value of the lateral acceleration sensor (26) is a first threshold or more or when a second lateral acceleration calculated based on a detection value of the yaw rate sensor (27) and a detection value of the articulate angle sensor (23) is a second threshold or more.
CORNERING BRAKE CONTROL
A method and system for determining a maximum cornering braking threshold for a motorcycle includes determining an absolute lean angle with respect to horizontal and a relative lean angle for the motorcycle relative to a road surface. The maximum cornering braking threshold is determined from at least the absolute lean angle and the relative lean angle. The maximum cornering braking threshold is used to provide stability during motorcycle cornering. A multi-dimensional look-up table stores different maximum cornering braking thresholds that correspond to different combinations of absolute lean angles and relative lean angles. The relative lean angle is determined by processing video data from a video sensor. Values for additional conditions, such as motorcycle speed, wheel slip coefficient, steering angle, mue and type of road way are stored in the multi-dimensional look-up table to assist in determining the maximum cornering braking threshold.
BRAKE SYSTEM WITH ENHANCED REVERSE MODULATED BRAKE CONTROL
A brake system of a machine may receive stability data associated with multiple wheels of the machine. The brake system may initiate, based on the stability data, an automatic electrohydraulic braking operation associated with a brake that is operatively connected to a wheel, of the multiple wheels. The brake may be movable from a de-applied position to an applied position to apply a brake force to the wheel. The brake system may prevent, based on initiating the automatic electrohydraulic braking operation, an operator input from controlling a brake pressure that is supplied to the brake via a valve configuration of the brake system. The brake system may decrease, based on an electrohydraulic input, the brake pressure that is supplied to the brake, via the valve configuration, to move the brake from the de-applied position to the applied position to apply the brake force to the wheel.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTELLIGENTLY ENGAGING MULTIPLE BRAKES
A system for multiple brakes intelligently controlled by a single brake input on a personal mobility vehicle. By determining a front and rear brake differential based on the position and weight of the rider as well as the environmental and vehicle conditions, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels. By applying different braking systems based on a combination of controls and sensors, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.
Method for stabilizing a two-wheeled vehicle during cornering
In a method for stabilizing a two-wheeled vehicle during cornering, a drifting of the rear wheel or an understeering of the front wheel is inferred on the basis of measured values including the actual steering angle, and the two-wheeled vehicle is stabilized by altering the torque at the front wheel and/or the rear wheel.
METHOD FOR CONTROLLING BRAKING FORCE OF BRAKE DEVICES FOR TWO-WHEELED VEHICLE, AND DEVICE FOR CONTROLLING BRAKING FORCE
To provide braking-force control capable of suppressing a wheelie of a two-wheeled vehicle by changing braking-force distribution.
In a method for controlling a braking force of a combined brake system for the two-wheeled vehicle, a lean angle of a two-wheeled vehicle 1 is detected or computed, and, in the case where the lean angle exceeds a specified value, braking-force distribution to front and rear brake devices 11f, 11r is changed.
Method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle
In the case of a method for operating a brake system of an at least double-tracked motor vehicle (10) which comprises 2 breakable wheels (12.sub.L, 12.sub.R), which are arranged at opposite ends of an axle (14.sub.V), and a rollover protection system, which can cause braking of the wheels (12.sub.L, 12.sub.R) in order to prevent a rollover situation, automatic braking of that wheel of the axle (14.sub.V), which is loaded more greatly when cornering is brought about by way of the rollover protection system. Subsequently, a counter-steering movement is detected by way of a predefined steering angle change being exceeded in a predefined time period in the direction counter to the cornering direction, and, thereupon, a brake force is caused to be built up at the opposite wheel, which is loaded less greatly by way of the rollover protection system.

A braking system, a method, and an electric vehicle. The braking system includes a central controller and a plurality of wheel end braking apparatuses. Each wheel end braking apparatus is configured to output braking force to a brake disc of one wheel to brake the electric vehicle. The central controller is configured to control wheel end braking apparatuses corresponding to rear wheels of the electric vehicle to output braking force to implement drifting.
Self-calibrating wheel speed signals for adjusting brake and chassis controls
Systems and methods for self-calibrating wheel speed signals are provided. The method may comprise measuring, using one or more wheel speed sensors of a vehicle, a wheel speed for one or more wheels of the vehicle, detecting, using a detection module, an initial wheel speed error by comparing a measured wheel speed against a reference wheel speed, generating a wheel speed signal for each of the one or more wheels, calculating, using a recalibration module, a correction factor for each of the one or more wheels to apply to each wheel speed signal, and applying, for each of the one or more wheels, the correction factor to the wheel speed signal by multiplying each wheel speed by a corresponding correction factor.
