A vehicle combination comprising a tractor vehicle and a trailer vehicle, each vehicle including wheels on different sides of the vehicle and wheel brakes associated with the wheels. A method for controlling the vehicle combination includes determining a yaw rate difference between a yaw rate of the tractor vehicle and a yaw rate of the trailer vehicle; determining, on the basis of the yaw rate difference, that an orientation of one of the vehicles deviates from an intended travel direction of the vehicle combination; and activating a wheel brake of the vehicle on only one side of the vehicle in order to counter the orientation deviation of the vehicle relative to the intended travel direction.

A method for adjusting one or more vehicle dynamics systems of a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a road wheel and at least one vehicle sensor configured to provide vehicle condition data, the road wheel comprising a tyre sensor configured to output tyre operation data, the method comprising: receiving tyre operation data from the tyre sensor; receiving vehicle condition data from at least one vehicle sensor; calculating one or more vehicle dynamics parameters based on the vehicle condition data and the tyre operation data; and adjusting one or more vehicle dynamics systems in response to the calculated one or more vehicle dynamics parameters.

A remotely positionable stabilizer wheel arrangement for a towable agricultural implement utilizes an electronic control unit that receives an input signal indicative of a desired position of the stabilizer wheel, and/or a desired depth of penetration of tillage tools operatively attached to the front and rear of the implement frame, to automatically control a hydraulic positioning cylinder of the remotely positionable stabilizer wheel arrangement to position and hold the stabilizer wheel at the desired position of the stabilizer wheel.

A method is provided for controlling a brake system (12) of a motor vehicle (2), having wheel brakes controllable for carrying out an anti-lock function (ABS) and for carrying out a roll stability control function (RSC). During cornering or in the event of a sudden evasive movement, the motor vehicle (2) is braked by actuation of the wheel brakes (26a, 26b, 28a, 28b) on account of a determined risk of tilting. With the start (t1) of an ABS control operation on the braking force (p.sub.B_KA) of a wheel brake (26b; 28b) on the inside of the bend on at least one motor vehicle axle (4; 8), the braking force (p.sub.B_KA) of at least one wheel brake (26a; 28a) on the outside of the bend is increased, and is lowered again with the end of the ABS control operation (t3).

Disclosed is a method for automatically controlling brakes in a trailer vehicle having antilock control, wherein wheel rotational speeds are continuously monitored and evaluated at wheels having antilock control. According to the method, lateral acceleration and longitudinal acceleration of the trailer vehicle are determined. If a predefined, critical lateral acceleration is exceeded, an automatic braking process occurs. A control unit and trailer vehicle are also disclosed in connection with the inventive method.

A method for preventing a rollover of a vehicle or a tractor-trailer combination in curves, by counteracting a rollover risk of the vehicle by independent regulating interventions, performed without action by a vehicle driver, in a regulation system that actuates the drive and/or the brakes of the vehicle, the method including: capturing the current driving situation and the current load of the vehicle or the tractor-trailer combination as to the current driving position of the vehicle or the tractor-trailer combination, ascertaining a maximum admissible transverse acceleration at the current driving position, at which maximum admissible transverse acceleration the vehicle or the tractor-trailer combination just does not roll over, as to the current driving situation and the current load of the vehicle or the tractor-trailer combination. Also described is a related apparatus for preventing a rollover of a vehicle or a tractor-trailer combination in curves.

A method for adjusting brake pressures on pneumatically actuated wheel brakes of a vehicle includes, in a normal braking mode, continuously determining, by the brake control unit, at least one differential slip value as a difference between slip values of two wheels or axles of the vehicle, and determining, by the brake control unit, an interaxle braking distribution index for a relevant pair of axles by an assessment of a change in the at least one differential slip value within an evaluation interval. The method further includes, in a pressure control mode, using, by the brake control unit, the interaxle braking distribution index that is determined in the normal braking mode for the weighting of the control signals for the respective pair of axles.

A remotely positionable stabilizer wheel arrangement for a towable agricultural it utilizes an electronic control unit that receives an input signal indicative of a desired position of the stabilizer wheel, and/or a desired depth of penetration of tillage tools operatively attached to the front and rear of the implement frame, to automatically control a hydraulic positioning cylinder of the remotely positionable stabilizer wheel arrangement to position and hold the stabilizer wheel at the desired position of the stabilizer wheel.

Provided are a braking temperature control method and system for an electromechanical brake. In the braking temperature control method for an electromechanical brake provided by the present disclosure, an intermediate temperature is obtained based on temperatures acquired by thermistors mounted on a stator winding, and a braking temperature control solution is generated based on a relationship between the intermediate temperature and a preset temperature, to control the heating of an electromechanical braking (EMB) driving motor. Therefore, under a conventional temperature control strategy, the operating environment of the EMB driving motor can be effectively improved, and the EMB efficiency is ensured. In addition, in a high-temperature abnormal operating state of the EMB driving motor, the operating temperature of the driving motor can be effectively controlled through a braking force redistribution strategy, thereby avoiding the braking failure caused by motor overheating.

The present disclosure discloses a trailer braking control method and system based on an electric brake controller. A lateral displacement and speed of a vehicle are acquired first; whether the vehicle has Death Wobble and a degree of the Death Wobble are then determined according to the lateral displacement; if there is Death Wobble, a driving state of the vehicle is determined according to the speed; and finally, a set voltage is added based on a set output voltage according to the degree of the Death Wobble and the driving state, so as to brake the vehicle. The present disclosure avoids setting of a weight ratio in the prior art to prevent the phenomenon of Death Wobble, and can identify and prevent the phenomenon of Death Wobble of a trailer, thereby avoiding an overturning accident and ensuring the personal safety and the integrity of a vehicle.
