Abstract
In a method and a device for slope and/or pitch recognition in a vehicle (1, 1′, 1″) at least one speed and a transverse and/or longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle are determined and a slope or pitch situation is assumed, when the speed is smaller than the limit value vGlmax and the transverse acceleration is greater than a limit value aqmax and/or the longitudinal acceleration is greater than a limit value almax. On recognition of a slope or pitch situation, a ride control system can be automatically deactivated and/or control thresholds of the ride control system are expanded.
Claims21
A device for slope and/or pitch recognition in the vehicle, comprising means for determining at least one speed and/or transverse and/or longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle, and means for displaying a slope or pitch situation when the speed is smaller than a limit value vGlmax and the transverse acceleration is greater than a limit value aqmax and/or the longitudinal acceleration is greater than a limit value almax.
A method for slope and/or pitch recognition in the vehicle, comprising the steps of:
- determining at least one speed and/or transverse and/or longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle,
- determining a slope or pitch situation, when the speed is smaller than a limit valve vGlmax and/the transverse acceleration greater than a value aqmax and/or the longitudinal acceleration greater than a limit value almax.
