Title:
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR INFLUENCING THE OPERATING MODE OF AT LEAST ONE VEHICLE STABILISING DEVICE ARRANGED IN A VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2003072410
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for influencing the operating mode of at least one vehicle stabilising device (203) arranged in a vehicle. A plurality of vehicle stabilising devices (203) operating according to various strategies are arranged in the vehicle, said devices controlling, independently of the driver, at least the brake actuators (204) associated with the vehicle wheels, in order to stabilise the vehicle. The vehicle is provided with at least one switchable differential lock (104) located in the drive train. The differential lock (104) takes on a non-switched operating state, a first operating state wherein the differential lock (104) is preset, and a second operating state wherein the differential lock (104) is switched. According to the invention, when the differential lock (104) takes on the first operating state, the operating mode of some of the vehicle stabilising devices (203) all of the vehicle stabilising devices (203) arranged in the vehicle, except the stabilising device which prevents the vehicle wheels (101ij) from blocking during a braking process, as a result of the driver-independent control of the brake actuators (204) is influenced, and when the differential lock (104) takes on the second operating state, the operating mode of all of the vehicle stabilising devices (203) is influenced. The operating mode of the vehicle stabilising devices (203) is influenced in such a way that the brake actuators (204) cannot be controlled independently of the driver.
