Abstract:
The present invention presents a method and a system for the control of preparatory measures during a road section, for at least one system. First, one or several parts of a road section are identified, during which parts one or several engines comprised in the vehicle may be shut down. Such identification is carried out when the road section is ahead of the vehicle, that is to say before the vehicle has entered the road section. The identification is based on available information about the road section. Subsequently it is determined whether at least one preparatory measure for at least one respective system in the vehicle needs to be carried out, in order to facilitate that one or several of the engines may be shut down. Subsequently, the preparatory measures are controlled based on the determination of the need to carry out the at least one preparatory measure.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a system arranged for the control of a combustion engine in a vehicle. According to the invention, at least one future speed profile v Sim coast for an actual speed v act of the vehicle during a road section is simulated. The simulation is based on information about the road section, and assumes that coasting will at least partly be applied during the road section. Subsequently, an applicability for coasting during the road section is evaluated. Subsequently, it is evaluated whether the combustion engine may be shut down during a coasting for at least a part of the road section that is deemed applicable. The evaluation of the shutdown of the combustion engine is here based at least on whether one or several system conditions for engine shutdown have been met, on one or several properties for one or several brake systems in the vehicle, and on a shutdown period T ICE_off , when the combustion engine could be shut down. The combustion engine is then controlled based on this evaluation of turning off the engine.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for guidance of driver behaviour during driving of vehicles (1) in the context of hilltop driving, comprising the step of continuously determining (S1) topography along the vehicle's itinerary as a basis for determination of a profile of the vehicle's speed (v) as a result of at least one given form of action concerning the driving of the vehicle, and further comprising, subject to desired consideration to given subconditions for the vehicle's driver, the step of presenting (S2) suggestions for said action with a view to desired decrease in fuel consumption. The present invention relates also to a system for guidance of driver behaviour during driving of vehicles in the context of hilltop driving. The present invention relates also to a motor vehicle. The present invention also relates to a computer programme and a computer programme product.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for assessment of drivers' hilltop driving behaviour, comprising the steps of determining (S1) a vehicle's speed pattern continuously during a hilltop driving process, of identifying (S2) forms of action taken by the vehicle's driver during said process, and of using (S3) vehicle speeds arising from the speed pattern thus defined as a basis for determining the results of the actions identified as having been taken by the driver. The present invention also relates to a system for assessment of drivers' hilltop driving behaviour. The present invention relates also to a motor vehicle. The present invention also relates to a computer programme and a computer programme product.
Abstract:
A method and a system for control of a combustion engine in a vehicle is presented. According to the present invention, at least one future speed profile v sin ICE off for an actual speed V act of the vehicle is simulated during a road section ahead. The simulation is based on information about the road section and on knowledge that coasting with the combustion engine shut down will, at least initially, be applied during the road section. Subsequently, based at least on the at least one future speed profile v sin ICE off, starting point in time t ICE start is determined, when the combustion engine will need to be started because of a requirement for a forward driving force for the vehicle and/or a need to brake the vehicle. Subsequently, a starting point brought forward in time, t ICE pre_start , is determined, which precedes the starting point in time t ICE start . Thus, according to the present invention, the starting point brought forward in time, t ICE pre start, will occur before the starting point in time t ICE start, which is determined based on the need for a forward driving or braking force arising. Subsequently, the combustion engine is controlled to be started at the starting point brought forward in time, t lCE_pre_start.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for guidance of driver behaviour during driving of motor vehicles (1) which comprises the step of determining the consequences of an upshift sequence, comprising the steps of: determining (S1) whether effecting an upshift sequence is appropriate from the operability perspective; if an upshift sequence is not appropriate, determining (S2) a prevailing engine speed; if said prevailing engine speed is above a first predetermined level (A), presenting (S) the driver with a suggestion to lower said engine speed. The present invention also relates to a system for guidance of driver behaviour during driving of motor vehicles. The present invention relates also to a motor vehicle. The present invention relates also to a computer programme and a computer programme product.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for controlling the driving of a vehicle, which vehicle can be run in at least one mode focused on operability and at least one mode focused on economical operation and can be switched between said modes, comprising the steps of determining (S1 ) a torque offtake pattern continuously over a given period of time (t 1 - t 2 ), of determining (S2) the proportion (Q) of said period during which the vehicle runs with a torque offtake which is either above a predetermined value (M max ) or below a predetermined value (M min ), and of using said proportion as a basis for deciding (S3) whether the current mode is the most appropriate. The present invention also relates to a system for controlling the driving of a vehicle. The present invention relates also to a motor vehicle. The present invention also relates to a computer programme and a computer programme product.
