Modern vehicles are increasingly equipped with new mechanisms to improve occupant safety. These new systems are often active parts using data from sensors on the vehicle. However, in case of malfunction of a sensor, the consequences for the vehicle can be dramatic. To ensure safety in the vehicle, new methodologies for detection of faults suitable for vehicles are proposed. The developed methodologies are extended from the method of parity space for linear parameter varying systems (LPV). In addition, the transformation of fault detection problem for the detection of critical situations is also available. Application of results achieved on a real vehicle within the INOVE project illustrate the performance of fault detection and detection of loss of stability of the vehicle.
