Abstract:
An active accelerator pedal for a vehicle includes a pedal position sensor configured to detect a position of a pedal lever of the active accelerator pedal and to convert the position into a pedal position signal. The active accelerator pedal further includes an actuator configured to output haptic feedback to the pedal lever. The active accelerator pedal further includes an actuator controller configured to control the actuator. The pedal position sensor is configured to transmit pedal position signals to a central engine controller of the vehicle the engine controller is configured to control drive of the vehicle using the central engine controller, and the actuator controller is configured to receive a pedal position signal from the pedal position sensor.
Abstract:
A method and a control device for controlling a haptic acceleration pedal in a motor vehicle includes determining a foreseeable signal position in which a haptically perceivable signal is foreseeably to be generated by the acceleration pedal at a future time. The signal position is configured to be located between a rest position and a maximally actuated position within the shifting range of the pedal. While the pedal is located in a current position between the rest position and the foreseeable position, an actuator that is configured to generate a haptically perceivable signal on the acceleration pedal is arranged in such manner that the actuator is in operational connection with the acceleration pedal when the acceleration pedal has reached the foreseeable position. The configuration results in a prompt generation of a haptically perceivable signal and a reduced energy consumption for the actuator.
Abstract:
An active accelerator pedal for a vehicle includes a pedal unit and an actuator unit. The pedal unit includes a pedal that is pivotable about a pivot axis. The actuator unit includes an electrical device and a worm gear positioned between the electrical drive and the pedal unit. The worm gear includes a worm and a driven worm element. The actuator unit is configured to apply a counterforce in a direction opposite to a pedal force exerted on the pedal.

Abstract:
A method for controlling a haptic accelerator pedal in a motor vehicle includes determining a current rate of change of the pedal at which a pedal lever of the pedal changes its position between a first position of rest and a second position of maximum activation when the pedal lever is moved in an activation direction. The determined current rate of change of the pedal is compared with a predefined limiting value for the rate of change of the pedal. The actuator is activated if the determined current rate of change of the pedal is lower than the limiting value for the rate of change of the pedal. The pedal is excited by means of the actuator by applying an opposing force counter to the activation direction to generate a haptically perceptible signal if the actuator is activated when an activation condition occurs.

Abstract:
A method and to a control device for controlling a haptic accelerator pedal in a motor vehicle includes displacing a pedal lever in an actuation direction between a rest position and a maximally actuated position. The pedal lever is configured to be excited by an actuator by exerting a counter force against the actuation direction to generate a haptically perceivable signal. A current position of the pedal lever relative to a current position of the actuator is determined outside the phases for generating the haptically perceivable signal, and the actuator is subsequently controlled in such a manner that the actuator actively follows a change in the determined position of the pedal lever. The positional control is configured to prevent interfering influences on the pedal lever by the actuator.
