A vehicle body control system, a control method of the vehicle body control system, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for performing the method may alleviate deterioration of steering performance of a vehicle when an electric power steering (EPS) system of the vehicle fails. The vehicle body control system includes a brake device configured to brake the vehicle, a detector configured to detect a failure of the EPS system, a steering sensor configured to detect an operation of a steering wheel of the vehicle to generate steering operation information, a controller configured to receive the steering operation information and generate a target yaw rate when the failure of the EPS system is detected, and control a brake device to generate a differential braking force required for the calculated target yaw rate.

A motorcycle braking arrangement comprising a brake lever (and/or brake pedal) defining a grasping or stepping surface, respectively, whereby a rider is able to apply pressure in order to produce a first analogue signal, a force-sensitive resistor (FSR) mounted on and/or in the surface and configured to produce a second analogue signal. In this manner, pressure applied to the grasping surface results in simultaneous production of the first and second signals, whereby a controller is configured to electronically correlate the second signal with the first. The arrangement also includes at least one servomechanism, which is arranged in signal communication with the controller and is configured to actuate a brake of the motorcycle according to the correlation between the first and second signals.

In a method for operating a electromechanical service brake of a vehicle, wherein the electromechanical service brake comprises a servomotor, which moves a component of the service brake in order to generate a braking force, and a motor-position sensor, which registers a displacement-specific position of the servomotor, a failure of the motor-position sensor is registered, and a feedback control of the servomotor by a motor-position signal from the motor-position sensor is replaced by triggering the servomotor on the basis of at least one servomotor-specific or vehicle-dynamics-specific parameter that is independent of the motor-position sensor.

A method in a vehicle for estimating vehicle motion state during a vehicle maneuver, comprising; obtaining a trigger signal indicating an onset of the vehicle maneuver, selecting a sub-set of wheels on the vehicle to be in a free-rolling condition, measuring one or more parameters related to revolution of the sub-set of wheels in free-rolling condition, and estimating the vehicle motion state based on the measured parameters.

The motor control unit reduces the drive braking torque for applying the braking force to the drive wheel by the reverse rotation timing predicted by the reverse rotation prediction unit at the latest, and the friction braking unit increases a friction braking force applied to the drive wheel by the friction braking device so that the friction braking force exceeds the braking force provided by the drive braking torque by the reverse rotation timing predicted by the reverse rotation prediction unit at the latest.

Disclosed herein are an autonomous emergency braking system and a method of controlling the same, capable of autonomously performing emergency braking using information detected by a radar sensor. The autonomous emergency braking system includes a radar sensor and an ECU. The radar sensor transmits a radio wave and receives a wave reflected from an object in front of a vehicle, so as to detect the object in front of the vehicle. The ECU receives object detection information from the radar sensor, and stops or puts off autonomous emergency braking when the number of times the object is detected within a predetermined distance is equal to or greater than a predetermined number of times, based on the received object detection information.

A vehicle braking control apparatus includes a controller and a determiner. The controller is configured to switch between a braking-force generating control and a braking-force release control. The controller causes a braking device mounted on a vehicle to generate a braking force in the braking-force generating control and causes the braking device to release the generated braking force in the braking-force release control. The determiner is configured to determine whether an unstable-behavior with rotation around a rotation axis along a vertical direction occurs or not in the vehicle based on a determination-value determined by a state occurred in the vehicle and a state of a road surface with which wheels of the vehicle are in contact. The controller causes the braking device to generate the braking force by executing the braking-force generating control when the determiner determines that the unstable-behavior occurs.

The disclosure relates to a method for controlling a vehicle braking system on the basis of vehicle-specific data, wherein the vehicle braking system comprises individually actuatable brakes. In the method, a braking operation is detected, a status condition is queried during a temporal observation window, and a yaw variable present and a physical characterizing variable present at the same time are detected. Subsequently, the detected yaw variable is stored and the yaw variable is assigned to a data set. This is repeated in order to create a database. Further, a corrective braking force is determined and the braking force of a brake is automatically adjusted depending on the corrective braking force to reduce the yaw variable. The disclosure also relates to an apparatus for compensating a yaw moment acting on a 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 motion support device, MSD, control unit for a heavy duty vehicle, configured to control one or more MSDs associated with a wheel on the vehicle, wherein the MSD control unit is configured to be communicatively coupled to a vehicle motion management, VMM, unit for receiving control commands from the VMM unit comprising wheel speed and/or wheel slip requests to control vehicle motion by the one or more MSDs. The MSD control unit is configured to obtain a capability range indicating a range of wheel behaviors of the wheel for which the VMM unit is allowed to influence the behavior of the wheel by the control commands, monitor wheel behavior and to detect if wheel behavior is outside of the capability range, and trigger a control intervention function in case the monitored wheel behavior is outside of the capability range.
