摘要： A method for determining a driver's driving skill of a vehicle using transmission shift information. The method includes providing an ideal transmission shift map based on throttle position and vehicle speed. The method also includes monitoring an actual transmission shift point performed by the driver and comparing an actual transmission shift point to the transmission shift map to identify a shift-error distance on the map. The method also includes comparing the shift-error distance to a predetermined threshold and classifying the driver's driving skill based on the comparison of the shift-error distance to the threshold.

摘要： An adaptive vehicle control system that classifies a driver's driving style based on vehicle stopping maneuvers. The system reads sensor signals to provide a vehicle speed and a vehicle longitudinal deceleration. The system determines whether an average of the vehicle longitudinal deceleration during a time window is greater than a longitudinal deceleration threshold and, if not, determines that the vehicle is in the stopping maneuver. The system then determines that the stopping maneuver has ended if the vehicle speed signal during another time window is less than a speed threshold. The style characterization processor can then classify the vehicle stopping maneuver using selected discriminant features.

摘要： A system and method that warn a vehicle driver by shaking or dithering the steering wheel that one or more active control systems on the vehicle is providing active control. The system includes an AFS actuator for providing a steering assist signal for stability control purposes, and a VES actuator for providing resistance against turning of the steering wheel. The system also includes a controller for causing the AFS actuator to shake the steering wheel if the active control is active and for causing the VES controller to apply and release tension to the steering wheel if the steering wheel is turned and the active control is active. The controller may increase the shaking of the steering wheel as the amount of the active control increases.

摘要： A control system that employs closed-loop control for providing active vehicle rear-wheel steering, where the control system receives longitudinal wheel slip inputs to improve the vehicle directional stability. The longitudinal wheel slip inputs can be from one or more of wheel speed, traction control on and automatic braking system on. The control system includes an open-loop controller for generating an open-loop steering control signal, a yaw rate feedback controller for generating a yaw rate feedback signal, and a side-slip rate controller for generating a side-slip rate feedback signal. The open-loop steering control signal, the yaw rate feedback signal and the side-slip rate feedback signal are combined to generate the steering control signal to steer the vehicle rear wheels.

摘要： A system and method for providing autonomous and remote vehicle maintenance and repair. The system employs an on-board diagnosis and prognosis module that monitors one or more vehicle buses to identify trouble codes and other information indicating a vehicle problem. The on-board module causes a telematic device on the vehicle to broadcast a message including a problem code that identifies the problem the vehicle is having. A remote repair center may receive the message and may identify a software upgrade patch associated with the problem that can be transmitted to the vehicle to upgrade its software to correct the problem. Also, the message may be received by another vehicle that is part of a broadcast network that has previously received the software upgrade patch to fix a problem on that vehicle, where the receiving vehicle may transmit the software upgrade patch to the vehicle having the problem.

摘要： An improved method of controlling an electro-hydraulic control system by developing a motor control command in relation to the desired force to be exerted by an electric motor on a mechanical element whose displacement determines the hydraulic pressure. The control command is comprised of two magnitude signals. The first magnitude signal must be sufficient to exert enough force to overcome a static friction characteristic of the mechanical element, and the second magnitude signal is selected to achieve a desired average current or voltage over that control period. The time constant for the control command is less than the mechanical time constant of the system, but greater than the the electrical time constant of the system. The control command may be implemented by using either current or voltage control.
