Method for detecting small tire-to-surface adhesive strength or increased internal friction of steering mechanism of vehicle, involves determining steering acceleration and driving speed of vehicle

摘要

The method involves detecting steering acceleration and the driving speed of a vehicle. The detected steering acceleration is compared with a minimum and a maximum pre-determined or pre-selected steering acceleration-threshold value based on the driving speed. A signal is generated and provided by detecting undershooting and overshooting of minimum or maximum steering acceleration-threshold value. An independent claim is included for a safety and warning system for detecting a small tire-to-surface adhesive strength or increased internal friction of a steering mechanism of a vehicle.
