Abstract
In a method for generating a difference moment that is acting on a vehicle, the actuation of a wheel brake unit sets a difference moment between two vehicle wheels, and a difference moment is generated via an additional actuator, separately from the wheel brake unit. The setting of the desired difference moment takes place primarily via the additional actuator, the wheel brake unit being used in supplementary fashion in the event that the difference moment is unable to be set via the additional actuator.
Claims19
1-19. (canceled)
A method for controlling a vehicle, comprising:
- providing at least one wheel brake unit and an additional actuator;
- generating a difference moment between two vehicle wheels by the additional actuator separately from the wheel brake unit;
- and
- if a desired difference moment is unable to be achieved by actuation of the additional actuator alone, supplementing the additional actuator by actuating a wheel brake unit to achieve the desired difference moment.
1 more element
A vehicle control system in a vehicle, comprising:
- a control device including a control unit and a wheel brake unit;
- and
- at least one additional actuator configured to generate, separately from the wheel brake unit, a difference moment between two vehicle wheels;
- wherein the wheel brake unit is configured to be actuated to supplement the additional actuator if a desired difference moment is unable to be achieved by actuation of the additional actuator alone.
