Description
Device and Method to Derive Optimum Speed of Vehicle for Comfortable Ride The present invention relates to a method for improving the ride comfort of a vehicle during driving operation set forth in claim 1 and a device implementing the method set forth in claim 5.
Great efforts have been made lately in order to improve the ride comfort of a vehicle during driving operation, since bad road conditions have a strong effect not only upon the driving occupants in the vehicle but also on the life span of the vehicle itself. Moreover, a comfortable ride adapted to an optimum speed and undercarriage adjustment means also optimum safety at which the vehicle can move based on the road condition for comfortable ride of the passenger.
Several conventional suspension control systems have been designed which are adaptable to the current road conditions during driving operation of the vehicles while the systems are controlled by evaluation and control units, which process data received from a plurality of sensors including sensors for detecting the current road surface condition.
But the majority of the proposed solutions consider only road conditions that are sensed in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle in motion or sense only the effects of the road conditions on the chassis and the undercarriage, respectively, the undercarriage of the vehicle.
In view of the above-described circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide and a device for a vehicle which enables an excellent ride quality and excellent running stability to be obtained even when the vehicle is running on a bad road.
Accordingly, the object of the invention is solved using a method for improving the ride comfort of a vehicle during driving operation of the vehicle by means of one or more sensors detecting a current road condition in terms of road roughness values, and feeding the road roughness values into an evaluation and control unit where the detected road roughness values are compared with a predetermined reference value, whereby in case of a deviation the velocity of the vehicle is adjusted in such a way that a predetermined ride comfort parameter can be maintained, by setting automatically an inclination angle of the one or more sensors, which are directed obliquely to the surface in front of the road, as a function of the current velocity or a maximum velocity of the vehicle. Due to a variable inclination angle of the sensors, which can identify obstacles or any unevenness of the road ahead of the vehicle, an adjustment of the velocity can be made before crossing over the identified unevenness of the road. Thus, road conditions such as uneven road surfaces, potholes, humps, external bodies, and obstacles can therefore be identified in advance and a possible negative impact upon the vehicle, caused by the obstacles avoided. Therefore, an increase in ride comfort goes along with an optimization of the safety of the passengers.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention the one or more sensors is/are pivoted at least about a horizontal axis, thereby the viewable area may be increased.
In another preferred embodiment of the invention the ride comfort parameter is set according to a chassis adjustment of the vehicle. Setting the right ride comfort parameter is very important with respect to the maximum velocity that can be reached without damaging the vehicle or putting in danger the passengers therein. The chassis adjustment is directly associated with the parameters for comfortable ride such as natural frequency, forced frequency, modes of vibration, stiffness, damping of vehicle indicating a passenger comfort index, which is obtained by actual practical testing of the vehicle itself.
In a further embodiment of the invention the one or more sensors used for detecting the current road condition are ultrasonic and/or radar and/or infrared and/or optical sensors.
These sensors allow for identifying a current road condition even if a driver of the vehicle is not able to see the obstacles ahead, because situations in which the driver's visibility is affected either by high beam headlights of other vehicles, direct sunlight hitting the eyes, fog, heavy rain or any other such conditions influencing negatively the driver's visibility.
Another aspect of the invention concerns a device for improving the right comfort of a vehicle during driving operation comprising: One or more sensors detecting a current road condition in terms of road roughness values, and an evaluation and control unit where the detected road roughness values are fed into and compared with a predetermined reference value, whereby in case of a deviation of the road roughness values from the predetermined reference value the velocity of the vehicle is adjusted in such a way that the predetermined ride comfort parameter can be maintained by setting automatically an inclination angle of the one or more sensors, which are directed obliquely to the surface in front of the road, as a function of the current velocity or a maximum velocity of the vehicle. The resulting advantages are directly derivable from the above-described method.
In another advantageous embodiment the device includes an output display connected to the evaluation and control unit for indicating the deviation of the road roughness values from the predetermined reference values -to a driver of the vehicle. Thereby a driver can be warned and adapt to the automatic response of the vehicle whose sensors identified an obstacle.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention the one or more sensors are mounted pivotally on one or either side of the roof at the front part of the vehicle. Arranging the sensors for instance above the windshield, the region of vision of the transmitting sensor will be the same as that of the driver's eyes. Similarly, the angle of the transmitting sensor is varied automatically according to the speed vehicle as well as do the driver's eyes.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following description of embodiments thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawing.
The single/only figure by means of a sketch shows a vehicle which is equipped with a device according to one advantageous embodiment of the invention comprising two sensors 1 -only one of which is shown -acting as e.g. radar, laser gun, or similar telemetry devices installed on either side of the root of the vehicle to send a signal 2 and at least one receiver, e.g. antenna for receiving the transmitted signal 2-not shown. The transmitters are preferably arranged at a position just above the windshield in order to correspond to a driver's view. The sensors 1 -transmitters and receivers -are pivotally mounted. Thus, they can be inclined by a predetermined angle e in correspondence to a predetermined velocity V towards a road 3 surface in front of the vehicle in order to detect the current road condition during driving operation of the vehicle.
This means, that at a lower velocity V the angle S of inclination of the signal 2 is higher and thus giving the output of the road condition of a nearby region of the vehicle. On the other hand, at a high velocity V of the vehicle, the angle of inclination of the signal 2 is lesser thus giving the output of the road condition of a far region in front of the vehicle.
The two conditions of the lower or larger angular e range facilitate to derive an optimum response while braking/accelerating the vehicle.
The sensors 1 -transmitters and receivers -are connected to an electronic control unit which in turn is connected to an output display arranged in a dash board of the vehicle.
The sensors 1 detect the current road condition in terms of road roughness values which are fed into an evaluation and control unit where the detected road roughness values are compared with predetermined reference values. The road roughness parameters are conditioned parameters used to measure deviations from an intended longitudinal profile of a road surface with characteristics that affect vehicle dynamics, ride quality and dynamic pavement loading. The reference values themselves are derived from a function considering parameters for comfortable ride such as: Natural frequency, forced frequency, modes of vibration, stiffness, and damping of the vehicle in accordance to a passenger comfort index which is obtained by practical/real testing of the vehicle.
According to the figure the sensors 1 transmit a signal 2 and the antenna receives the signal 2 reflected by the road 3. Under normal circumstances, in which the road conditions are good, a nominal cycle time of the signal 2 corresponds to a distance dl, d2 which the signal 2 is travelling while leaving the transmitter and being received by the receiver of the sensor 1. In case of a bad road condition with e.g. humps 4, obstacles 4, potholes etc. the cycle time corresponds to the run through distance d3 of the signal 2.
The distances dl, d2, d3 are distances corresponding to location-based Snapshots A, B and C of the vehicle during driving operation of the vehicle. As long as the distances dl, d2 dn correspond to a predefined ride comfort parameter, no acceleration or braking of the vehicle is necessary. If the distance d3 does not correspond to the predefined ride comfort parameter the velocity of the vehicle is adjusted in such a way, that the predetermined ride comfort parameter can be maintained. This can happen by automatic intervention of the evaluation and control unit, accelerating or braking the vehicle. In a preferred embodiment of the invention an intervention, or need for an intervention, detected by the evaluation and control unit is displayed on the dashboard in the vehicle in order to inform the driver. This is especially necessary in such cases in which the driver's visibility is limited due to surrounding climatic conditions like rain or fog or affected by direct sunlight or high beam headlights of other vehicles.
The output indicates the driver and optimum velocity at or below which the passenger will have a comfortable ride. Moreover, sudden shocks to vehicle are avoided and accidents are prevented.
