Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a driver intent detection device to detect at least a driver'"'"'s curve-negotiation intention;
a curvature detection device, to detect/determine a road curvature;
one or more overspeed control devices, to, based at least in part on data received from the curvature detection device and data received from the driver intent detection device, cause braking and/or reduce engine torque to keep a vehicle accurately negotiating the curved road.

Abstract
A vehicle control system includes one or more driver intent detection devices to detect at least a curve-negotiating intention of a driver. The system also includes one or more curvature detection devices, to detect or otherwise determine a road curvature. The system further includes one or more overspeed control devices, to, based at least in part on data received from the one or more curvature detection devices and data received from the one or more driver intent detection devices, cause braking to one or more vehicle tires and/or reducing engine torque to keep a vehicle accurately negotiating the curved road for the current driving condition.

15. A vehicle control system comprising:
-
one or more driver intent detection devices to detect at least a curve-negotiating intention of a driver; one or more condition detection devices, to detect at least a road condition; one or more curvature detection devices, to detect or otherwise determine a road curvature; one or more overspeed control devices, to, based at least in part on feedback received from the one or more condition detection devices, data received from the one or more curvature detection devices, and data received from the one or more driver intent detection devices, cause braking to one or more vehicle tires and/or reducing engine torque to keep a vehicle accurately negotiating the curved road for the current driving condition, wherein a determination by the one or more overspeed control devices that braking and/or engine torque reduction needs to be applied is based at least on detected yaw rate error for the current driving condition. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18)
