Abstract
An adaptive control adjusts thresholds in a vehicle stability control in response to video camera data, GPS data and weather data indicating that vehicle road conditions are not ideal. Video data determines mue (coefficient of friction) and type of road. Weather data includes temperature, visibility, precipitation and wind velocity. A human machine interface manually overrides the adaptive control in response to a user input.

FIG. 1 illustrates a relevant portion of avehicle operating system 10 that controls vehicle stability in response to GPS data and video camera data. Thesystem 10 includes anelectronic control unit 12 and avehicle stability control 14. Further, thevehicle operating system 10 includes a global positioning system (GPS)receiver 16 and avideo camera 18. A human/machine interface 20 recieves manual inputs from a vehicle operator. Theoperating system 10 includes abrake control 22 and anengine control 24 that, in some situations are controlled by thevehicle stability control 14. Acommunication network 26, such as a CAN bus or a Flex-Ray bus, provides communication between all of the devices, controls and units of thevehicle operating system 10 shown inFIG. 1 . Various other subsystems (not shown) connect to thecommunication network 26. -
FIG. 2 shows video camera data and GPS data provided via thecommunication network 26 to theelectronic control unit 12. Theelectronic control unit 12 provides adaptive control of vehicle operation. Theelectronic control unit 12 includes adata processor 30 that receives the video camera data and determines mue and road-type of a roadway therefrom. Mue relates to a coefficient of friction between vehicle tires and a road surface. Values for mue and the road-type are output by theprocessor 30 and compared with values at steps orcomparisons condition recognition unit 40 of theelectronic control unit 12. - The
data processor 30 also receives temperature, visibility, precipitation, wind velocity and vehicle location/position data from theGPS receiver 16. Thedata processor 30 compares temperature, visibility, precipitation and wind velocity with values atsteps comparisons recognition unit 40. - The driving
condition recognition unit 40 includes a plausibility check and arbitration algorithm to determine whether the various weather and road conditions result in a need for restrictive thresholds or other changes to the operation of thevehicle stability control 14 and/or theengine control 24. The recognition unit determines whether the data is plausible and the results are possible. Further, the arbitration algorithm weighs the various data to determine whether there is a need for restrictive thresholds. The drivingcondition recognition unit 40 also determines whether a maximum speed of the vehicle must be limited by the operation of theengine control 24, and if so, a value for the maximum vehicle speed. - Operation
- In operation, the video camera data is provided from the
video camera 18 overcommunication network 26 to adata processor 30 of theelectronic control unit 12. Thedata processor 30 includes initializing, estimating and predictive features for the data provided thereto. Thedata processor 30 determines a mue and a road-type from the video data. The mue is compared with a stored value. The comparisons for the mue and the road-type are provided to the drivingcondition recognition unit 40 for further processing. More specifically, the mue is obtained by the camera viewing the road. Conditions, including one of standing or running water, an icy road surface, a smooth road surface and a rough road surface, including uneven road surfaces, such as potholes formed in a road, are estimated. The road conditions are factored in determining a mue value. - The
video camera 18 anddata processor 30 also detect road type, such as a tar road, a dirt road, a cement road, a sand road and a gravel road, as well as roughness of the road surface. The above conditions, including road-type are related to mue, which is a coefficient of friction for the road and vehicle tires. - In one embodiment, essentially simultaneously with processing video camera data, the
data processor 30 of theelectronic control unit 12 obtains temperature, visibility, precipitation, wind velocity and location information from theGPS receiver 16 over thecommunication network 26 as shown inFIG. 2 . Thedata processor 30 utilizes initialization, estimation and prediction to determine when the vehicle must be placed in a restricted driving mode or condition. - More specifically, the temperature, visibility, precipitation and wind velocity are compared with various values to determine their significance with respect to restrictive driving. For example, if a temperature of below freezing is present, along with precipitation, the driving
condition recognition unit 40 of theelectronic control unit 12 will output a restricteddriving control signal 58 over thecommunication network 26. In such an instance, the restricteddriving control signal 58 passes from therecognition unit 40 over thenetwork 26 to thevehicle stability control 14 as shown inFIG. 3 . - As shown in
FIG. 3 , thevehicle stability control 14 receives the restricteddriving control signal 58 from theelectronic control unit 12 over thenetwork 26.FIG. 3 shows aswitch unit 60 having aswitch 62. The restricteddriving control signal 58 causes theswitch 62 to change from selection ofstandard thresholds 64 torestrictive thresholds 66. Thethresholds vehicle stability processor 70. Thevehicle stability processor 70 of thevehicle stability control 14 provides signals to thebrake control 22, theengine control 24 and other controls or devices to ensure proper operation of thevehicle operating system 10 under various conditions. - In response to different values of the video data and the GPS weather data, the
electronic control unit 12 shown inFIG. 3 provides an engine speed control signal 72 over thenetwork 26 to aspeed limiter 76 of theengine control 24. Thespeed limiter 76 prevents the vehicle from exceeding a maximum speed as a result of the weather condition data and/or the video data. - While a
switch unit 60 is illustrated for thevehicle stability control 14 inFIG. 3 , in some embodiments, thecontrol signal 58 is a message to thevehicle stability processor 70 that provides a selection betweenstandard thresholds 64 represented by values stored in non-volatile memory andrestrictive thresholds 66 that are stored in the non-volatile memory that is connected to theprocessor 70. In some embodiments, one of multiple sets of restrictive thresholds is selected by the restricteddriving control signal 58 based on values of the video data and the GPS weather data. - In one embodiment, an operator overrides and stops operation of driving condition recognition by the
electronic control unit 12. As shown inFIG. 3 , an input to the human/machine interface 20 by an operator results in an enablesignal 80 that is provided the drivingcondition recognition unit 40 for enabling or disabling the restricted driving control signals output by the recognition unit. Thus, a vehicle operator may disconnect entirely the portion of thevehicle operating system 10 with regard to the GPS weather signals being combined with video data to automatically change the thresholds of thevehicle stability control 14 in view of the different weather and vehicle conditions. - In some embodiments, an outdoor temperature value is obtained by a temperature sensor mounted to a vehicle. In other embodiments, weather information is relayed to the vehicle by RF antennas disposed along a roadway, rather than by a GPS signal.
- While the
electronic control unit 12 is shown having thedata processor 30 and the drivingcondition recognition unit 40 disposed therein, in some embodiments the functions of theelectronic control unit 12 receiving and processing all of the data are performed by thevehicle stability processor 70. Other electronic controls of thevehicle operating system 10 also may function as theelectronic control unit 12. - While
data processor 30 and drivingcondition recognition unit 40 are shown and disclosed, other arrangements such as ASIC circuits and digital circuits are contemplated for signal processing. - Thus, the invention provides, among other things, a method and system for enhancing vehicle stability in response to video camera data and a GPS signal that includes weather data. Various features and advantages of the invention are set forth in the following claims.
