==METHODS AND APPARATUS TO REDUCE END OF STOP JERK - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17850601 titled 'METHODS AND APPARATUS TO REDUCE END OF STOP JERK

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes methods and systems to reduce the jerk experienced when a vehicle comes to a stop. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

* The patent application discusses techniques to reduce the abrupt jerk experienced when a vehicle stops.
* It proposes a system that includes a user interface, a brake system, and a controller.
* The controller is responsible for detecting a command to engage the brake system at a specific pressure.
* It also estimates the time it will take for the vehicle to come to a complete stop.
* If the estimated time satisfies a predetermined threshold, the brake system is engaged at a lower pressure than the initially commanded pressure.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Automotive industry: This technology can be applied to various types of vehicles, including cars, trucks, and buses, to improve the comfort and safety of passengers during braking.
* Autonomous vehicles: The innovation can be particularly useful in autonomous vehicles, where smooth and controlled braking is crucial for passenger comfort and to avoid sudden movements that could impact the vehicle's stability.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Reducing jerk during braking: The technology addresses the issue of abrupt jerk experienced by passengers when a vehicle comes to a stop, which can be uncomfortable and potentially unsafe.
* Improving passenger comfort: By engaging the brake system at a lower pressure when the vehicle is close to stopping, the technology aims to provide a smoother and more comfortable braking experience.

Benefits of this technology:

* Enhanced passenger experience: By reducing jerk during braking, passengers will experience a smoother and more comfortable ride, leading to increased satisfaction.
* Improved safety: The technology helps to avoid sudden movements during braking, which can contribute to better vehicle stability and reduce the risk of accidents or injuries.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to reduce end of stop jerk are disclosed. An example vehicle includes a user interface, a brake system, and a controller to execute instructions to detect a command to engage the brake system at a command brake pressure, estimate a time until the vehicle comes to a stop, and in response to determining that the time satisfies a time threshold, engage the brake system at a delivered brake pressure less than the command brake pressure.
