International ClassB60Q 001/00Foreign Application Priority Data1997-05-30 DEAbstractA vehicle having a scanning system for zero contact scanning of one or several mutually spaced road areas and having an analyzing system connected behind the scanning system. The analyzing unit is equipped for determining the roll-over angle, the roll-over moment, the vehicle load condition and/or the road condition via measured data detected and supplied by the scanning system. The resulting data is particularly suitable for the early determination of dangerous influences on the driving dynamics of a vehicle.Field of SearchOf relative distance from an obstacleOf collision or contact with external object Responsive to inertia, vibration, or tilt Tilt, imbalance, or overload Relative distence between vehicles (e.g., collision alert) Highway information (e.g., weather, speed limits, etc.) Speed and overspeed With camera Compensation for vehicle remaining at sensor position Environmental or drift compensation Photoelectric Sonic or ultrasonic LAND VEHICLE ALARMS OR INDICATORS Computer controlled Electromagnetically, electrodynamically, or electronically actuated Headlight Controlling lateral vehicle attitude (e.g., antiroll, antisway) Steering element responsive (e.g., steering angle, steering rate) Including suspension stiffness for ride comfort (e.g., damping coefficient, spring rate) | |
