Cette unité 40 est connectée aux différents moyens 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 38a, 38b, 38c, 38d d'acquisition et détermine ces signaux en fonction des consignes délivrées par le conducteur et des paramètres de fonctionnement du véhicule acquis.This unit 40 is connected to the different acquisition means 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 38a, 38b, 38c, 38d and determines these signals as a function of the instructions issued by the driver and the operating parameters of the acquired vehicle.

La figure 2 est une vue schématique de l'unité 40 de contrôle.Figure 2 is a schematic view of the control unit 40.
L'unité 40 comprend un module 50 de diagnostic de l'état de chacun des pneumatiques du véhicule, et notamment son état de gonflage et la présence d'hernie et de balourd. Le module 50 estime cet état d'une manière connue en soi en fonction de la pression acquise Pi de gonflage de celui-ci, de l'accélération verticale fi acquise de la roue et de la vitesse de rotation A1 acquise de la roue sur laquelle il est monté. Le module 50 estime notamment le type et le niveau de défaillance du pneumatique et délivre ceux-ci aux moyens 42 de délivrance d'informations pour en avertir le conducteur du véhicule.The unit 40 comprises a module 50 for diagnosing the state of each of the tires of the vehicle, and in particular its state of inflation and the presence of hernia and unbalance. The module 50 estimates this state in a manner known per se as a function of the acquired pressure Pi of inflation thereof, the vertical acceleration fi acquired wheel and the speed of rotation A 1 acquired from the wheel on which he climbed. The module 50 estimates in particular the type and the level of failure of the tire and delivers them to the means 42 for issuing information to warn the driver of the vehicle.
Notamment, le module 50 diagnostique que le pneumatique est sous-gonflé si sa pression de gonflage est inférieure à une première valeur de seuil prédéterminée et détermine que ce sous-gonflage est critique si la pres- sion de gonflage est inférieure à une seconde valeur de seuil prédéterminée.In particular, the module 50 diagnoses that the tire is underinflated if its inflation pressure is lower than a first predetermined threshold value and determines that this underinflation is critical if the inflation pressure is less than a second value of predetermined threshold.
Le module 40 de diagnostic est également connecté à un module 52 de commande du comportement routier du véhicule.The diagnostic module 40 is also connected to a module 52 for controlling the road behavior of the vehicle.
Le module 52 comporte des moyens 54 d'estimation de paramètres de roulage du véhicule, par exemple les vitesses Vlac, Vlat, Vlong de lacet, Ia- térale et longitudinale du véhicule en fonction en fonction de différentes informations acquises θPf, θpa, θv, Rb et N comme cela est connu en soi.The module 52 comprises means 54 for estimating rolling parameters of the vehicle, for example the speeds Vlac, Vlat, Vlong of yaw, longitudinal and longitudinal of the vehicle depending on the different acquired information θ P f, θ pa , θ v , R b and N as is known per se.
Le module 52 comprend également des moyens 56 connectés au module 50 de diagnostic et aux moyens 52 d'estimation. Les moyens 56 mettent en œuvre une loi de pilotage du moteur 12 et des systèmes de direction 16 et de freinage 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d, comme par exemple une commande ABS, ESP, et de limitation/régulation de la vitesse du véhicule, en fonction des informations acquises et de l'état diagnostiqué des pneumatiques.The module 52 also comprises means 56 connected to the diagnostic module 50 and the estimation means 52. The means 56 implement a control law of the motor 12 and steering systems 16 and braking 18a, 18b, 18c, 18d, such as an ABS control, ESP, and limitation / regulation of the speed of the vehicle, depending on the information acquired and the diagnosed condition of the tires.
Plus particulièrement, les moyens 52 sélectionnent une loi de commande en fonction de l'état des pneumatiques diagnostiqués par l'unité 40. Par exemple, si le gonflage des pneumatiques est diagnostiqué comme satisfaisant, les moyens 52 mettent alors en œuvre une loi de commande ABS classique. Si un pneumatique est diagnostiqué comme sous- gonflé, les moyens 52 sélectionnent alors une loi de commande ABS qui a pour effet de réduire la quantité de freinage appliquée à la roue associée à ce pneumatique et qui a pour effet d'augmenter la quantité de freinage appliquée aux autres roues dont les pneumatiques sont diagnostiqués comme satisfaisants afin de compenser cette réduction de freinage. Le véhicule est ainsi commandé par les moyens 52 dans un mode de sécurité.More particularly, the means 52 select a control law depending on the condition of the tires diagnosed by the unit 40. For example, if the inflation of the tires is diagnosed as satisfactory, the means 52 then implement a control law Classic ABS. If a tire is diagnosed as underweight inflated, the means 52 then select an ABS control law which has the effect of reducing the amount of braking applied to the wheel associated with this tire and which has the effect of increasing the amount of braking applied to the other wheels whose tires are diagnosed as satisfactory to compensate for this reduction in braking. The vehicle is thus controlled by the means 52 in a security mode.

3. Véhicule selon la revendication 2, caractérisé en ce que le système de commande est propre à limiter la vitesse du véhicule lorsque l'état de gonflage diagnostiqué n'est pas satisfaisant. 3. Vehicle according to claim 2, characterized in that the control system is adapted to limit the speed of the vehicle when the diagnosed inflation state is not satisfactory.
4. Véhicule selon la revendication 2 ou 3, caractérisé en ce que le système de commande est propre à réduire le freinage appliqué à une roue lorsque le pneumatique de celle-ci est diagnostiqué comme sous-gonflé.4. Vehicle according to claim 2 or 3, characterized in that the control system is adapted to reduce the braking applied to a wheel when the tire thereof is diagnosed as underinflated.
5. Véhicule selon la revendication 4, caractérisé en ce que le système de commande est propre à augmenter le freinage appliqué aux roues du véhicule dont les pneumatiques sont diagnostiqués comme présentant des états de gonflage satisfaisants pour compenser la réduction du freinage appliqué à la roue ayant un pneumatique diagnostiqué comme sous-gonflé. 5. Vehicle according to claim 4, characterized in that the control system is adapted to increase the braking applied to the wheels of the vehicle whose tires are diagnosed as having satisfactory inflation conditions to compensate for the reduction in braking applied to the wheel having a tire diagnosed as underinflated.
