Patent ID: 8660768

Claim:
A device for controlling driving dynamics of a vehicle, comprising: at least one steering-angle sensor; at least one acceleration sensor to measure at least a transverse acceleration of the vehicle; at least one yaw-rate sensor; and an electronic evaluation arrangement to evaluate signals supplied by the at least one steering-angle sensor and the at least one yaw-rate sensor, and to influence at least one of (i) a brake system and (ii) a drive of the vehicle as a function of the signals, the electronic evaluation arrangement performing a plausibility check of the signals supplied by the at least one steering-angle sensor and the at least one yaw-rate sensor; wherein the at least one steering-angle sensor, the at least one acceleration sensor, and the at least one yaw-rate sensor are combined in one shared subassembly, so that it may be determined whether a particular steering angle and a current yaw rate of the vehicle constitute plausible values, wherein the subassembly is accommodated in a shared housing, which is for the at least one steering-angle sensor, wherein the housing is disposed one of (i) on a steering column of the vehicle, and (ii) around the steering column of the vehicle, wherein at least one electronic signal-conditioning arrangement to condition measuring signals supplied by the sensors is also integrated in the subassembly, wherein at least one of (i) the at least one electronic signal-conditioning arrangement, (ii) the acceleration sensor, and (iii) the yaw-rate sensor are disposed on a shared circuit board, which is disposed inside the shared housing of the subassembly, and whether the plausibility check of the signals supplied by the at least one steering-angle sensor and the at least one yaw-rate sensor checks whether a particular steering angle and a current yaw rate of the vehicle constitute plausible values based on the vehicle velocity.
