At least one of PAth and PA is changed based upon a correlation of a value related to a lateral acceleration based yaw rate Yg with a value related to the standard yaw rate Ys and a correlation of a value related to the actual yaw rate Y with a value related to the standard yaw rate Ys. | 10-03-2013 |
20130261841 | MOTION STABILIZER FOR TRACTOR - In a pendular motion determination unit of a motion stabilizer for a tractor, a parameter computation unit computes a determination parameter PA indicative of a quantity of change in an actual yaw rate Y, a threshold value setting unit computes a threshold value PAth for the parameter PA, and a determination unit determines that a pendular motion caused by swaying motion of a trailer is imparted, if the parameter PA is greater than the threshold value PAth. Based upon at least one of a value related to the actual yaw rate Y and a value related to the standard yaw rate Ys, an evaluation value computation unit computes a steering-back maneuver evaluation value TS (indicative of a possibility of making periodical steering-back maneuvers), based upon which at least one of the threshold value PAth and the parameter PA is changed. | 10-03-2013 |
