SYSTEM AND METHOD OF REGULATING MANUAL CONTROL OF A VEHICLE IN A SLIDING CONDITION
First Claim
1. A method of allowing manual control for a driver of a vehicle during a sliding condition of the vehicle having an electronic stability program using a control system, the method comprising:
- recognizing the vehicle in a sliding condition;
determining whether the vehicle is manually controllable in the sliding condition;
adjusting the electronic stability program, if the vehicle is determined to be manually controllable;
activating the control system to control the vehicle, when the vehicle is not manually controllable; and
applying a compensated brake pressure based on the activation of the stability control system.

Abstract
The present invention involves a system and method of regulating manual control for a driver of a vehicle during a sliding condition of the vehicle having an electronic stability program using a stability control system. The method includes recognizing the vehicle in a sliding condition and determining whether the vehicle is manually controllable in the sliding condition. The method further includes adjusting the electronic stability program, if the vehicle is determined to be manually controllable, and activating the stability control system to control the vehicle when the vehicle is not manually controllable. The method further includes applying a compensated brake pressure on the vehicle based on the activation of the stability control system.

25. A method of regulating manual control for a compensating driver of a vehicle during a sliding condition of the vehicle having an electronic stability program using a stability control system, the method comprising:
-
recognizing the vehicle in a sliding condition;
determining whether the vehicle is manually controllable in the sliding condition;
adjusting an original ESP threshold to define a new ESP threshold configured within the electronic stability program, if the vehicle is determined to be manually controllable, calculating a yaw error based on a vehicle yaw rate minus a model yaw rate, when the vehicle is not manually controllable;
comparing the yaw error to the new ESP threshold;
determining a compensated brake pressure to be applied on the vehicle, the compensated brake pressure being based on the comparison of the yaw error and the new ESP threshold; and
applying the compensated brake pressure on the vehicle. - View Dependent Claims (26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)

46. A method of allowing manual control for a compensating driver of a vehicle during a sliding condition of the vehicle having an electronic stability program using a stability control system, the method comprising:
-
recognizing the vehicle in a sliding condition;
determining whether the vehicle is within a controllable range;
determining whether the vehicle is being steered toward a path on which the vehicle is sliding;
determining whether the vehicle is being steered at a rate which the vehicle is sliding;
determining whether a rate of rotation of the vehicle in the sliding condition is within a predetermined range;
recognizing that the vehicle is manually controllable, if;
the vehicle is within the controllable range, the vehicle is being steered toward the path on which the vehicle is sliding, the vehicle is being steered within the rate at which the vehicle is sliding, and the rate of rotation of the vehicle in the sliding condition is within the predetermined range;
adjusting the electronic stability program, if the vehicle is determined to be manually controllable;
activating the stability control system to control the vehicle, when the vehicle is not manually controllable; and
applying a compensated brake pressure based on the activation of the stability control system.
