A system for multi-mode autobrake control may comprise a wheel speed sensor and a BCU electrically coupled to the wheel speed sensor. A tangible, non-transitory memory may be configured to communicate with the BCU and may have instructions stored thereon that, in response to execution by the BCU, cause the BCU to perform operations comprising receiving a wheel speed signal from the wheel speed sensor, inputting the wheel speed signal into an antiskid filter and a nominal filter, calculating an estimated aircraft deceleration rate, and determining an autobrake pressure command based on the estimated aircraft deceleration rate.

A method of providing an additive offset of a longitudinal acceleration signal of a traveling motor vehicle. The signal being measured by an inertial sensor is ascertained. At least the longitudinal acceleration signal, a braking signal, and a drive signal are detected. A force balance of the longitudinal dynamic of the motor vehicle is analyzed. The signals are detected both during at least one acceleration process as well as during at least one braking process. The signals during the acceleration processes are detected and/or analyzed separately from the signals during the braking processes, and the additive offset is ascertained by comparing the signals detected during the acceleration processes or the values calculated therefrom with the signals detected during the braking processes or the values calculated therefrom. The invention further relates to an electronic controller.

Provided is a vehicle turning control device that can stabilize a vehicle by performing yaw moment control considering a tire grip limit and gives no uncomfortable feeling to a driver even if the control is switched from the yaw moment control to control for stabilizing the attitude of the vehicle. The vehicle turning control device includes a target yaw rate calculation module (25), a yaw moment calculation module (27), a yaw rate deviation calculation module (29), a road surface frictional coefficient calculation module (24), and a control gain calculation module (26). The control gain calculation module (26) causes a yaw response characteristic used in the target yaw rate calculation module (25) to approach a reference yaw response characteristic from a predetermined yaw response characteristic as a calculated yaw rate deviation increases or as an estimated road surface frictional coefficient decreases.

A method for adjusting an estimated height of the center of gravity (HCOG) value of a vehicle includes concomitant calculations, based on parameters dependent on the HCOG value and parameters independent from the HCOG value. The method further comprises the adjustment of a parameter related to the HCOG value.

A method of changing an anti-lock brake system (ABS) control mode includes: determining, by a controller, whether a first stage of an electronic stability control (ESC) of the vehicle is in an off state and a launch control of the vehicle is in an on state, and determining, by the controller, whether a driver intends to slow down an operation of the ABS installed in the vehicle; and when it is determined that the driver intends to slow down the operation of the ABS, comparing, by the controller, revolutions per minute (RPM) of an engine of the vehicle, a vehicle acceleration speed, a vehicle speed, and a steering angle with predetermined threshold values, respectively, and when each of the comparison results is satisfied, changing, by the controller, an ABS general control mode to an ABS sport control mode which slows down the operation of the ABS.

A system for a vehicle and a trailer connected to the vehicle is provided. The system includes a trailer brake output circuit configured to output a trailer brake output signal, and an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to determine whether a value of a yaw rate of the trailer connected to the vehicle becomes greater than a threshold value, change a yaw rate oscillation counter in response to determining that the value of the yaw rate of the trailer becomes greater than the threshold value, instruct the trailer brake output circuit to output the trailer brake output signal to the trailer in response to the yaw rate oscillation becoming a first value, and activate trailer sway control in response to the yaw rate oscillation becoming a second value. The second value is greater than the first value.

A vehicle control system of a vehicle includes a trailer brake control electronic control unit (ECU), which in turn includes a trailer brake output circuit. The trailer brake control ECU is configured to receive an electronic parking brake (EPB) state flag and a vehicle acceleration message. The dynamic EPB state flag indicates one of an ON state and an OFF state of a dynamic EPB, and the vehicle acceleration message indicates an acceleration of the vehicle. The trailer brake control ECU outputs, via the trailer brake output circuit, a trailer brake signal based on the acceleration of the vehicle indicated by the received vehicle acceleration message in response to determining that the received dynamic EPB state flag indicates the ON state.

A system for controlling a trailer brake output circuit includes an electronic control unit having one or more processors and one or more memory modules. The trailer brake output circuit is configured to output a trailer brake output signal. Machine readable instructions cause the electronic control unit to: receive a signal from a vehicle stability control system indicating that a vehicle stability control flag is set, generate the trailer brake output signal in response to the vehicle stability control flag being set such that the trailer brake output signal ramps up to a target value over a predefined period of time, maintain the trailer brake output signal at the target value while the vehicle stability control flag is set, and output the trailer brake output signal such that the trailer brake output signal ramps down from the target value when the vehicle stability control flag changes from set to not set.

A braking device for a vehicle includes a plurality of braking force generators; a steering assist device; a yaw rate detecting unit; and a control device. The control device is configured to perform control such that, in a case where the plurality of braking force generators perform a braking operation and there is a malfunctioning braking force generator, braking forces of the plurality of braking force generators other than the malfunctioning braking force generator are maintained or increased when an acquired value of an actual yaw rate acquired from the yaw rate detecting unit is equal to or less than a reference value, and a steering torque is applied to a steering system in a direction in which the actual yaw rate decreases when the acquired value of the actual yaw rate is larger than the reference value.
