摘要:
In estimating the relative speed between a vehicle and an objective obstacle, a plurality of objective obstacle data are labeled, and an objective obstacle data preestimated on the basis of the past objective data is compared with an objective obstacle newly provided, thereby judging whether or not there is the same obstacle for every label. With regard to the objective obstacle data decided as being the same, the amount of variation in distance is determined for every label by comparison of the last data and the now data and divided by a sampling time to provide a relative speed. Thus, noise data can be eliminated to reliably provide a relative speed between a subject vehicle and an existent objective obstacle.

A collision judging system for a vehicle comprises a subject vehicle position estimating means for estimating the position of the subject vehicle after a lapse of a preset time from a certain braking start time, on the assumption that the braking is starting at such braking start time, an obstacle position estimating means for estimating the position of an objective obstacle after the lapse of the preset time, and the judging means for judging whether or not the position of the subject vehicle estimated by the subject vehicle position estimating means and the position of the obstacle estimated by the obstacle position estimating means coincide with each other. Thus, the judgment of collision can be performed with the avoidance of the collision by the driver's operation being taken into consideration, leading to an improved feeling of driving operation.
摘要:
In a vehicle equipped with a distance measuring unit capable of measuring a distance between the subject vehicle and an objective obstacle, the objective obstacle is detected along a widthwise direction of the vehicle by the distance measuring unit. Detection data detected by the distance measuring unit are developed on X and Y coordinates in which the widthwise direction of the subject vehicle is represented by an X axis; the longitudinal direction of the subject vehicle is represented by a Y axis, and the position of the subject vehicle is defined as an origin. Each of obstacle data is labeled in such a manner that the same labels are affixed to obstacle data which are in proximity to one another on the coordinates. The amount and direction of movement are calculated for every label on the basis of the last data and the current data, and a relative speed for every label relative to the subject vehicle is calculated by dividing the amount of movement by a sampling time. The position of the objective obstacle after a lapse of a predetermined time is estimated on the basis of a relative speed vector determined from the relative speed and the direction of movement. Thus, the accuracy of estimating of the position of the objective obstacle is improved.
摘要:
An antilock brake system with separate front- and rear-wheel safety means, in which front-wheel antilock control means and rear-wheel antilock control means are made so operative independently of each other that, when the front-wheel antilock control means for a front wheel generally having a larger proportion of the brake force distributed is troubled in its brake force suppressing state, front-wheel saftey means makes the function of the front-wheel antilock control means wholly ineffective to ensure the brake force to the front wheel whereas, when the rear-wheel antilock control means for a rear wheel generally having a smaller proportion of the brake force distributed is troubled in a state having lost its brake force suppressing function, rear-wheel safety means operates to effect that the brake force to the rear wheel is always stronger than that to the front-wheel thereby to maintain the steering stability of the wheeled vehicle.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for controlling an anti-skid brake in a vehicle, in which an estimated vehicle speed signal is obtained by selecting the higher value signal from wheel speed signals of the front and rear wheels at the left and right side and anti-skid brake devices for the front and rear wheels are independently controlled by independent signals. In this way, the anti-skid brake control can always be performed assuredly while preventing locking of the wheels on slippery roads while also preventing unnecessary anti-skid braking operations at the time of sharp turning. In a modified method and apparatus, control of the anti-skid brake of the rear wheel on the left or right side is effected according to vehicle speed estimated from the speed of a front wheel on the right or left side, whereby gradual locking of the wheels at the time of braking on a slippery road is prevented, and the anti-skid brake control can always be accomplished assuredly and excellent braking effects can always be obtained.
摘要:
A skid prevention method for reducing braking torque during a wheel lock while braking, using a main control system of an anti-skid brake device regardless of the brake input by the driver. When wheel lock is overcome, reduction of braking torque ceases. When wheel lock lasts more than a preset period without reduction in breaking torque, even when wheel lock results from failure of the main control system, the braking torque is reduced for a preset period through an auxiliary system. If the main control system reduces the braking torque for a period longer than a preset time, braking torque reduction by the main control system may be nullified, and when wheel lock lasts longer than a preset period, the braking torque may be reduced by the auxiliary control system for the preset period. An anti-skid device for carrying out this method has a brake for applying the braking torque to the wheels, a main control system for controlling the brake to reduce braking torque in case of wheel lock. An auxiliary control system replaces the main control system in case of failure of the latter; this auxiliary system has a circuit for detecting wheel lock, and circuit actuated when the wheel lock detector circuit is actuated for more than a preset period.
摘要:
A method of preventing wheels of a vehicle from skidding in which a wheel-acceleration signal representative of the peripheral acceleration of a wheel is obtained by differentiating a wheel-shaped signal representative of a suitably detected peripheral speed of the wheel. The braking torque applied to the wheel during braking is controlled and held constant when the level of a wheel-acceleration signal is higher than that of a first reference wheel-acceleration signal and lower than that of a second reference wheel-acceleration signal, whereas it is increased when the level of the wheel-acceleration signal is higher than that of the second reference wheel-acceleration signal. A reference wheel-speed signal, representative of a predetermined reference wheel speed, and a reference wheel-deceleration signal are set for comparison with the wheel-speed signal and the wheel-acceleration signal, respectively, and the brake torque is held constant when the level of the wheel-acceleration signal is higher than that of the reference wheel-deceleration signal and lower than that of the second reference wheel-acceleration signal if the level of the wheel-speed signal is lower than that of the reference wheel-speed signal. The brake torque is further controlled to increase when the level of the wheel-acceleration signal is higher than that of the second reference wheel-acceleration signal.
摘要:
A method of preventing wheels of a vehicle from skidding, including the steps of detecting the peripheral speed of a wheel and picking it up as a wheel-speed signal, detecting the vehicle speed and setting a reference wheel-speed signal based on the detected vehicle speed, deriving a wheel-acceleration signal from said wheel-speed signal, and setting a reference wheel-deceleration signal for comparison with said wheel-acceleration signal. During braking operation, the brake torque applied to the wheel is controlled such that it is maintained constant to prevent the further increase thereof when the level of the wheel-accleration signal decreases below the level of said wheel-deceleration signal under the condition that the level of said wheel-speed signal is higher than that of said reference wheel-speed signal. On the other hand, if the level of said wheel-speed signal is lower than that of said reference wheel-speed signal, the brake torque is reduced when the level of said wheel-acceleration signal decreases below the level of said reference wheel-deceleration signal. Preferably, in order to make much finer and more accurate control over the brake torque, various reference signals are set for comparison with said vehicle-speed signal, said wheel speed signal and said wheel-acceleration signal, and logical judgements are made on the respective signals. In addition, peripheral speeds of a plurality of wheels are preferably detected and the greatest peripheral speed thereof is used for estimation of said vehicle speed.

An antiskid brake controlling method and apparatus comprising: comparing by a first comparator and during braking of a vehicle, a wheel speed signal V.sub.w representative of the peripheral speed of a wheel of the vehicle with a first reference wheel speed signal V.sub.R 1 less than a vehicle speed signal V.sub.E and with a second reference wheel speed signal V.sub.R 2 which is less than the first reference wheel speed signal V.sub.R 1; comparing by a second comparator a wheel acceleration signal V.sub.w representative of the peripheral acceleration of the wheel with a first reference wheel acceleration signal V.sub.wl representing a predetermined positive peripheral acceleration of the wheel, a second reference wheel acceleration signal V.sub.w2 greater than the first reference wheel acceleration signal and a reference wheel deceleration signal -V.sub.w3 representative of a predetermined negative peripheral acceleration of the wheel. The comparators are connected through an electrical circuit to solenoids of control valves which regulate flow of pressure fluid to a wheel brake cylinder for selectively counteracting the pressure of brake fluid from a master cylinder to the brake cylinder or maintaining constant pressure in the brake cylinder. The electrical circuit is operative to decrease the braking torque T.sub.B from an instant at which the wheel acceleration signal V.sub.w has dropped below the reference wheel deceleration signal -V.sub.w3 when the wheel speed signal V.sub.w is less than the first reference wheel speed signal V.sub.R 1 but greater than the second reference wheel speed signal V.sub.R 2; to stop the decrease of the braking torque T.sub.B after the wheel acceleration signal V.sub.w comes to increase again, at an instant at which the wheel acceleration signal V.sub.w exceeds the reference wheel deceleration signal -V.sub.w3 ; and also to decrease the braking torque T.sub.B until the wheel acceleration signal V.sub.w increases to exceed the first reference wheel acceleration signal V.sub.wl when the wheel speed signal V.sub.w has dropped below the second reference wheel speed signal V.sub.R 2.
