20090076682 | VEHICLE SUBSYSTEM CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS - A method is provided for controlling at least one setting parameter in at least one active subsystem in a vehicle chassis. The method includes, but is not limited to the steps of identifying the driver and selecting the decision function associated to the identified driver from a set of predetermined decision functions, determining one or more operating parameters of the vehicle, evaluating the decision function which yields a value of the setting parameter corresponding to the determined operating parameters, and setting the value in said subsystem. | 03-19-2009 |
20090099727 | VEHICLE SUBSYSTEM CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS - A method is provided for controlling at least one active subsystem in a vehicle chassis. The method includes, but is not limited to the steps of evaluating a driver's driving style based on data (ax(K), ay(K)) representative of acceleration of the vehicle and setting an operating state of the subsystem according to the driving style. | 04-16-2009 |
20100145577 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR JOINTLY CONTROLLING MULTIPLE DEVICES - A method is provided for jointly controlling a plurality n, n being an integer greater than 1, of devices connected to a same communication channel, each of said devices D | 06-10-2010 |

20090250283 | MOTOR VEHICLE HAVING A SWITCHABLE FOUR WHEEL DRIVE - A motor vehicle is provided that has an engine, front and rear wheels and a clutch system for selectively distributing engine torque to the front and rear wheels. A controller judges in real time the state of motion of the vehicle and controls the torque distribution by the clutch system according to the judged state. | 10-08-2009 |
20090254249 | ADAPTIVE SUSPENSION CONTROL FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - A suspension control system for a motor vehicle having a chassis and wheels connected to the chassis by a suspension system the stiffness of which is variable under the control of the suspension control system comprises a controller adapted to modify autonomously the stiffness of the suspension system depending on a current state of motion of the vehicle. | 10-08-2009 |
20090254253 | ADAPTIVE STEERING CONTROL FOR A MOTOR VEHICLE - An adaptive steering control system is provided for a motor vehicle. The system includes, but is not limited to a sensor for detecting a current value of an operation quantity of a steering wheel, an actor for turning steered wheels and a controller for selecting, according to the speed of the vehicle, a map (g | 10-08-2009 |
20090319127 | MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVER ASSISTING METHOD NEAR THE STABILITY LIMIT - A method for assisting a driver of a motor vehicle is provided that includes, but is not limited to monitoring at least one quantity selected among vehicle sideslip, yaw rate error, understeer and quantities correlated to vehicle sideslip, yaw rate error or understeer, deciding that there is a risk of the vehicle becoming unstable if any of the monitored quantities or a quantity derived from one or more of the monitored quantities exceeds a predetermined first threshold, and if it is decided that there is a risk, issuing a warning signal. | 12-24-2009 |
20090319129 | MOTOR VEHICLE DRIVER ASSISTING METHOD - A method is provided for assisting the driver of a motor vehicle that includes, but is not limited to estimating a maximum safe amount of lateral acceleration based on one or more of detected vehicle lateral acceleration, yaw rate, vehicle longitudinal speed and steering wheel angle, calculating a longitudinal vehicle speed to produce a lateral acceleration equal to said maximum safe amount, and displaying a recommended longitudinal vehicle speed to the driver. | 12-24-2009 |
