Process for assessing the transverse acceleration of a vehicle trailer, especially for use in articulated lorries within an electronic stability control or a rollover stability control device, comprises using a calculation to determine a filtered transvers...

A device to dampen a rolling motion in a motor vehicle trailer, especially a car trailer, comprises a detector for a rolling motion (101) and the performing of a driver-independent braking (105) and/or reduction of engine torque (104). Steering angle chang...

The trailer vehicle (2) transmits a data signal (M, D) to the control system (5, 6, 9, 11). This enables inference of the rotary speed (VD) of a wheel (33) on the inside of the curve. The control signal uses this signal to determine the danger of vehicle (...

The method involves determining signals of the dynamics of the vehicle movement in the pulling vehicle (1) and outputting the signals as braking values to the trailer (2). The trailer includes a braking system, in which the brakes are operated on the basis...

A control device (11) in the towing vehicle (1) can cause automatic application of brakes in the towed vehicle (2). The intensity of this brake application can be reduced by the control device if the value of the friction between the vehicle (1,2) and the ...

The wheel brakes temperatures are measured and compared with limiting values and between tractor and trailer. Dependent on the measurements the braking forces applied to wheels on either the tractor or the trailer can be increased, if the measured temperat...

The wheel brake temperatures are monitored during braking, and the calculated brake temperatures are compared between front and rear axles (VA, HA) and with predetermined limiting values. If a temperature limit is exceeded during braking, braking energy is...

The method has the actual steering condition and the velocity of the vehicle used for determining the required vehicle movement via a physical vehicle model, with provision of a characteristic value for the required vehicle movement, compared with the actu...
