Control device for increasing safety in a fast vehicle, especially for a vehicle guided by an operator who may be located inside or outside the vehicle

摘要

The vehicle controller has detectors delivering in real-time a signal representing the longitudinal speed (CAP1) of the vehicle, and the transverse speed (CAP2) of the vehicle. Actuators control the forward motion (ACT1) and the steering (ACT2) in response to set values. A controller (COMV) receives the remotely set reference values (CREF1,CREF2) for the forward and steering control. The controller uses these inputs together with the inputs from the detectors to determine the value of the signal that will be delivered to the actuators. This involves checking against internally stored limiting values determined from a function relating forward and lateral speed.
