International ClassG01C 009/06Foreign Application Priority Data1998-05-15 DEAbstractA method for detecting laterally inclined bends being traversed by a vehicle uses a bend-specific value, such as the rotation rate, lateral acceleration or steering angle of the vehicle, the bend-specific value being simultaneously determined by a plurality of different measuring systems. The plurality of determined values are sorted by magnitude to obtain an indication of whether a laterally inclined bend is being encountered by the vehicle.Field of SearchVEHICLE CONTROL, GUIDANCE, OPERATION, OR INDICATIONVehicle subsystem or accessory control Suspension control Attitude change suppressive control (e.g., antiroll or antipitch) Having coefficient of friction or road condition determining means Responsive to road, external, or ambient condition Having gradient responsive control to suppress hunting, overshooting, or undershooting Of lateral vehicle attitude (e.g., antiroll, antisway) Controlling lateral vehicle attitude (e.g., antiroll, antisway) And traction control With yaw control | |
