Process and Apparatus for the Sway Stabilization of a Motor Vehicle
First Claim
1. A process for stabilizing sway in a motor vehicle, which comprises the steps of:
- generating adjusting signals for actuators associated with at least one of a front axis and a rear axis of the motor vehicle on a basis of one of a measured transverse acceleration and a calculated transverse acceleration of the motor vehicle, the actuators making support moments available on the front axis and the rear axis for sway stabilization; and
using the measured transverse acceleration and the calculated transverse acceleration in at least one speed range of the motor vehicle for generating the adjusting signals for the actuators and one of the calculated transverse acceleration and the measured transverse acceleration is used to generate the adjusting signals in dependence on an absolute value of a difference between the calculated transverse acceleration of the motor vehicle and the measured transverse acceleration of the motor vehicle.

Abstract
A process for stabilizing the sway of a motor vehicle, in which adjusting signals are generated for actuators associated with a front axis and with a rear axis of the motor vehicle on the basis of a measured or a calculated transverse acceleration of the motor vehicle, which actuators make support moments available on the front axis and/or on the rear axis for stabilizing the sway. Accordingly the measured transverse acceleration and the calculated transverse acceleration are used in at least one speed range of the motor vehicle in such a manner to generate the adjusting signals for the actuators that either the calculated transverse acceleration or the measured transverse acceleration is used to generate the adjusting signals in dependence on an absolute value of the difference between the calculated transverse acceleration of the motor vehicle and the measured transverse acceleration of the motor vehicle.
