STEERING SYSTEM BASED ON INTENDED YAW RATE DURING LOSS OF TRACTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18100648 titled 'STEERING SYSTEM BASED ON INTENDED YAW RATE DURING LOSS OF TRACTION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application relates to steering a vehicle based on an intended yaw rate during loss of traction.
- Detect slipping tire of a vehicle losing traction with a road
- Decouple control of a pair of front tires by the steering wheel
- Identify intended yaw rate by detecting angle of the steering wheel
- Steer the vehicle separately to achieve intended yaw rate
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in autonomous vehicles, off-road vehicles, and sports cars to improve handling and stability during loss of traction situations.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of maintaining control of a vehicle when one tire loses traction, by allowing for precise steering adjustments based on the intended yaw rate.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include increased safety, improved vehicle stability, and enhanced driving performance in challenging road conditions.
Potential Commercial Applications
- "Enhancing Vehicle Stability and Control System for Off-Road Vehicles"
Unanswered Questions
How does this technology impact driver experience?
This technology can potentially improve driver confidence and safety by providing better control in slippery road conditions.
What are the limitations of this technology?
One limitation of this technology could be its effectiveness in extreme weather conditions or on certain types of terrain.
Original Abstract Submitted
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to steering a vehicle based on an intended yaw rate during loss of traction. In one arrangement, a method for steering a vehicle during loss of traction is disclosed. The method includes detecting a slipping tire of a vehicle losing traction with a road. The method also includes decoupling control of a pair of front tires of the vehicle by a steering wheel of the vehicle. The method also includes identifying an intended yaw rate for controlling the vehicle by detecting an angle of the steering wheel while the slipping tire does not have traction. The method further includes steering the vehicle separately from an input of a steering wheel of the vehicle to cause intended yaw rate.
