Abstract
A method to determine a roll angle (λE) of a vehicle, wherein the roll angle (λE) is calculated as a combination of at least a first roll angle variable (λ1) and a second roll angle variable (λ2), wherein the first roll angle variable (λ1) is determined from an acquired rolling rate ({dot over (λ)}m) of the vehicle using a first method, wherein the second roll angle variable (λ2) is determined from one or more further vehicle movement dynamics characteristic variables using a second method.
Claims15
A method to determine a roll angle (λE) of a vehicle, comprising:
- calculating the roll angle (λE) as a combination of at least a first roll angle variable (λ1) and a second roll angle variable (λ2),
- determining wherein the first roll angle variable (λ1) from an acquired rolling rate ({dot over (λ)}m) of the vehicle using a first method, and
- determining the second roll angle variable (λ2) from one or more further vehicle movement dynamics characteristic variables using a second method.
A device to determine a roll angle (λE) of a vehicle, comprising:
- a combination circuit used to combine at least a first roll angle variable (λ1) and a second roll angle variable (λ2) to calculate a roll angle (λE),
- wherein, the first roll angle variable (λ1) is determined from an acquired rolling rate ({dot over (λ)}m) of the vehicle, and the second roll angle variable (λ2) is determined using at least one vehicle movement dynamics characteristic variable.
