摘要:
A cooperative diagnostic and prognosis system for generating a prognosis of at least one component in a vehicle. An in-vehicle diagnostic unit determines a diagnostic signature of the component each time an occurrence of a condition is triggered and transmits the diagnostic signature to an off-board diagnostic unit. The off-vehicle diagnostic unit determines a SOH of the component and a rate-of-change in the SOH of the component. The off-vehicle diagnostic unit determines whether the rate-of-change in the SOH is greater than a threshold. The off-vehicle diagnostic unit requests additional information from the vehicle in response to the rate-of-change in the SOH being greater than the threshold. The additional information relating to operating parameter data associated with the component. The off-vehicle diagnostic unit receives the requested information and predicts a time-to-failure of the component.

A method for monitoring the fuel pump includes estimating a pump speed and a nominal pump motor current in relation to a pump motor control signal and a fuel pressure. An armature resistance and a back-emf constant for the electric motor are determined corresponding to the estimated pump speed, a monitored pump motor current, and the pump motor control signal. A nominal armature resistance and a nominal back-emf constant for the electric motor are adjusted in relation to a pump motor temperature. Residuals are calculated based upon the adjusted nominal armature resistance, the adjusted nominal back-emf constant for the electric motor, the estimated armature resistance and the estimated back-emf constant for the electric motor. The residuals are compared with corresponding thresholds. A fault in the electric motor is detected based upon the comparisons of the residuals with the corresponding thresholds.

An electric motor is configured to provide mechanical power to a fuel pump. A method for monitoring the fuel pump includes estimating a pump speed and a nominal pump motor current in relation to a pump motor control signal and a fuel pressure. An armature resistance and a back-emf constant for the electric motor are determined corresponding to the estimated pump speed, a monitored pump motor current, and the pump motor control signal. A nominal armature resistance and a nominal back-emf constant for the electric motor are adjusted in relation to a pump motor temperature. A plurality of residuals are calculated based upon the adjusted nominal armature resistance, the adjusted nominal back-emf constant for the electric motor, the estimated armature resistance and the estimated back-emf constant for the electric motor. The residuals are compared with corresponding thresholds. A fault in the electric motor is detected based upon the comparisons of the residuals with the corresponding thresholds.

A control system for warning a following vehicle of a potential collision with a leading vehicle. The leading vehicle includes a detection system for detecting the presence and velocity of the following vehicle. The control system determines a desired distance between the leading vehicle and the following vehicle based on the speed of the leading vehicle. The control system subtracts the desired distance from the actual distance to generate a distance error signal, and compares the distance error signal to a threshold. If the error signal is greater than the threshold, the control system may provide one or more operations, such as flashing hazard lights to warn the following vehicle, or taking other course of action in the event of an imminent collision, such as pre-tensioning seat belts and closing windows of the leading vehicle.

A method for detecting and isolating an actual fault in a fuel delivery system having a fuel pump and a fuel pump motor, includes monitoring fuel pressure, pump current, and pump voltage. Each of a plurality of fault triggers are designated as one of flagged and un-flagged based on at least one of the fuel pressure, the pump current and the pump voltage. The actual fault in the fuel delivery system is isolated from a plurality of possible faults when a condition respective to one of the possible faults is satisfied based on at least one of the plurality of fault triggers designated as flagged and un-flagged.

A method of estimating a tire-road friction coefficient includes determining when the slope of a tire characteristic curve relating a utilized longitudinal friction of a tire to longitudinal slip of the tire is linear and non-linear. When the slope of the tire characteristic curve is linear, then the tire-road friction coefficient is estimated by correlating the slope of the tire characteristic curve to the tire-road friction coefficient. When the slope of the tire characteristic curve is non-linear, indicating that the tire is near or at saturation, then the tire-road friction coefficient is estimated by calculating a current utilized longitudinal friction of the tire.

摘要:
A vehicle acceleration wheel slip control system monitors wheel slip and when a wheel slip condition becomes excessive as wheel slip increases during vehicle acceleration, engine torque output is initially reduced in accord with the rate of change in wheel slip. This derivative adjustment produces a significant correction to the engine torque output before the slip condition becomes very large. Thereafter, when the slip condition represents recovery from the excessive slip condition, the engine torque output is controlled in accord with the error in wheel slip from a desired value. This proportional adjustment maintains a desired slip value while maintaining stable acceleration slip control.
