Modular vehicle dynamics control system
First Claim
1. A modular vehicle dynamics control system for controlling a movement variable which represents the movement of a vehicle having actuators for applying a braking force at the wheels, said system comprisingdetection means for detecting rotational movements of the wheels, a variable which represents the steering angle, and at least one variable selected from the group consisting of a variable which represents the lateral movement and a variable which represents the yaw movement of the vehicle,a first controller component which functions as a first module which forms actuation signals for the actuators with the effect of controlling a first control variable which is determined as a function of at least the detected rotational movements of the wheels, anda second controller component which functions as a second module which forms signals at least as a function of the steering angle variable which modify the actuation signals with the effect of controlling a second control variable determined as a function of at least said selected variable representing the lateral movement or the yaw movement of the vehicle.

Abstract
The movement of a vehicle is controlled by actuating actuators which apply a braking force to the wheels. For this purpose, the rotational speeds of the wheels, the steering angle and at least one of the lateral acceleration and the yawing movement of the vehicle are detected. A first module is configured so that the actuators are actuated by means of the actuation signals with the effect of controlling a first variable. The second module is configured so that signals for influencing the actuation signals are formed with the effect of controlling a second control variable. In order to obtain this second control variable, at least the variable which represents the steering angle is processed. The second controller component brings about a control of a variable which is determined at least as a function of the lateral movement or the yawing movement of the vehicle.
