    摘要: The present invention provides a system and method for enabling a vehicle having adaptive cruise control to reduce its speed in a turn according to the vehicle's position within the turn as well as ignoring objects detected during the turn that are not in the vehicle's path. The method of the present invention includes the steps of operating the vehicle in an adaptive cruise control mode such that the vehicle is traveling at a set speed; determining whether the vehicle is in a turn in the vehicle's path by detecting change in the vehicle's lateral acceleration; and when the vehicle is determined to be in the turn, reducing the vehicle's speed according to the vehicle's position in the turn, monitoring for objects and maintaining the vehicle's speed if an object is positioned out of the path of the vehicle.

    摘要: A vehicle curve speed control system (10) adapted for use with a vehicle (12) having an operator (14), includes a map database (16) representing a current vehicle path, and a locator device (20) communicatively coupled to the database (16) and configured to determine the location of the vehicle (12) on the path. The system (10) further includes a controller (36) configured to identify approaching curve points of a curve (18a) in terms of curvature or radius, and determine a desired speed profile based on operator preference and/or vehicle characteristic input. An acceleration profile is determined, based on the current vehicle speed, and desired speed profile. An acceleration/deceleration command at the present control loop is modified towards achieving an optimal curve speed, and is delivered to either a brake or acceleration module (40,42) to automatically accelerate or decelerate the vehicle (12) accordingly.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method for detecting a driving situation ahead of a motor vehicle. In a first step, a first function (f—1) is evaluated, which calculates a variable path length ahead (I_vor) as a function of a current vehicle speed (v) and a current degree of sportiness (gsp). In a second step, a second function (f—2) is evaluated, which calculates the road course data (str_vor) at least as a function of the variable path length ahead (I_vor) and environment data (u). In a third step, a third function (f—3) is evaluated, which calculates a possible driving situation ahead (sit_cand) at least as a function of the road course data (str_vor), the vehicle speed (v) and the degree of sportiness (gsp). Finally, in a fourth step, a fourth function (f—4) is evaluated, by means of which a driving situation ahead (sit_vor) is detected at least as a function of the possible driving situation ahead (sit_cand). The detected driving situation ahead (sit_vor) can be used, for example, to influence electronic and/or mechanical vehicle systems, such as electronically controlled vehicle transmissions.

    摘要: In a method of controlling the speed of a vehicle, at least one vehicle traveling ahead in the same lane within a radar detection range is detected using a radar sensor and in which the transverse acceleration in the vehicle to be controlled is detected. Acceleration or a change in acceleration is limited in the vehicle to be controlled if, in addition to or instead of a transverse acceleration, it is evaluated that the vehicle to be controlled has reached the limit of the radar detection range and/or the vehicle traveling ahead has left the radar detection range when no change of lanes takes place.

    摘要: A curve approaching mode controller is capable of continuing vehicle control operations for the longest possible time even if curve information is not available from a navigation system. The navigation system provides curve information about a curve on a road stretching ahead of a vehicle. A control unit estimates a curve approaching mode in which the vehicle will approach the curve on the basis of the curve information and, when necessary, gives a warning and executes a decelerating control operation. If only insufficient curve information is available from the navigation system, a road attribute calculating and storing unit stores the normal node information received immediately before receiving the insufficient node information (curve information) without updating the same, and informs a warning speed calculating and storing unit of a fact that the node information is insufficient. A warning speed calculating and storing unit calculates a warning speed that serves as a reference for warning on the basis of the normal node information received immediately before receiving the insufficient node information, taking a distance traveled by the vehicle after the insufficient node information has been received.
