Abstract: |
For regulating the driving dynamics of a road vehicle, setpoints for the yaw rate {dot over (¨)} and the float angle beta of the vehicle are generated continuously by evaluating a simulation computer implemented vehicle model. The simulation computer generates control signals for activating at least one wheel brake of the vehicle based on a comparison of the reference values {dot over (¨)}SO as a setpoint, and the actual values {dot over (¨)}I of the yaw rate continuously recorded by a yaw rate sensor. The vehicle model is represented by a linear differential equation system of the form [P].({overscore ({dot over (X)})})=[Q].({overscore (X)})+({overscore (C)}).delta(t). The driving-dynamic state values betaZ(k-1) and {dot over (¨)}Z(k-1) are updated at a point in time t(k-1), followed by a point in time t(k) that is later by a clock time interval TK, by evaluation of the system of equationswith the values of the matrix elements pij and qij updated for that point in time TK.

What is claimed is:
1. A method for driving dynamic regulation of a road vehicle in which reference values for at least a yaw rate .PSI. and a float angle β of the vehicle are generated, under clock control in sequential cycles of a presettable duration TK, by a simulation computer in an electronic control unit which automatically regulates driving dynamics of the vehicle based on a model that represents the vehicle in terms of design and load state parameters thereof, and based on operating data which includes measured current values of steering angle δ and vehicle speed vx, said simulation computer generating control signals for activating at least one wheel brake of the vehicle based on a comparison of a reference value .PSI.SO as a setpoint for the yaw rate of the vehicle and actual values .PSI.I of the yaw rate of the vehicle that are continuously recorded a yaw rate sensor device, or for reducing an engine drive torque of the vehicle; wherein
- the vehicle model is implemented by a linear differential equation system of the form
[P].multidot.({dot over (X)})=[Q].multidot.(X)+(C).multidot.δ(t)
in which [P] represents a 4×4 matrix with elements pij (pij =0,mZ v,0,0; 0,0,0,JZ ; 0,0,0,0; 0,-1,0,0) mZ being a mass of the vehicle, JZ being a yaw moment of inertia of the vehicle, and v being a lengthwise velocity of the vehicle; [Q] represents a 4×4 matrix with elements qij (qij =0, -Cv -CH, 0, -mz.multidot.v-(Cv 1v -CH 1H)/v; 0, CH 1H -Cv 1v, 0, (-1v2 Cv -1H2 CH)/v; 0,0,0,0; 0,0,0,1), CV and CH being diagonal travel stiffnesses of front and rear wheels of the vehicle respectively, and lV and lH being a distance between vehicle center of gravity and a front axle or a rear axle; C represents a four-component column vector with components ci (ci =cV,CV lV,0,0); X represents a four-component column vector formed from state values βZ and .PSI.z with components xi (xi =0, βz, 0, .PSI.z); and {dot over (X)} represents the time derivative dX/dt of the column vector X; and
- driving-dynamic state values βZ (k-1) and .PSI.z (k-1) are determined at a point in time t(k-1), and updated at a point in time t(k) that is later by the clock time interval TK, by evaluation of a system of equations [Figure]
with values of matrix elements pij and qij that are updated at a point in time t(k).
