METHOD FOR ADAPTING THE DRIVING PERFORMANCE OF A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240051543 titled 'METHOD FOR ADAPTING THE DRIVING PERFORMANCE OF A VEHICLE

Simplified Explanation

The disclosed patent application describes a method for adapting the driving performance of a vehicle. Here is a simplified explanation of the abstract:

  • The method involves saving a definition of the desired driving performance of the vehicle in the memory of a drive controller.
  • It also saves a definition of the base driving resistance of the vehicle in the memory of the drive controller.
  • The method further saves a definition of the behavior of the drive motor, including the engine speed/power correlation, in the memory of the drive controller.
  • It calculates the required nominal drive power of the vehicle needed to achieve the desired driving performance.
  • The drive controller regulates the current drive power of the vehicle according to the calculated nominal drive power.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • This method can be applied in electric vehicles to optimize their driving performance based on user preferences.
  • It can be used in autonomous vehicles to adapt the driving performance according to road conditions and traffic situations.
  • The technology can also be implemented in hybrid vehicles to efficiently manage the power distribution between the engine and electric motor.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • The method solves the problem of inefficient driving performance by dynamically adjusting the drive power based on the desired performance.
  • It addresses the issue of inconsistent driving experience by allowing customization of the driving performance parameters.
  • The technology helps optimize energy consumption by adapting the drive power to the driving conditions.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved driving experience by tailoring the vehicle's performance to individual preferences.
  • Enhanced energy efficiency by optimizing the drive power based on the desired performance.
  • Increased safety and control by adapting the driving performance to road conditions and traffic situations.


Original Abstract Submitted

the disclosure relates to a method for adapting the driving performance of a vehicle, including: saving a definition of a desired driving performance of a vehicle in a memory of a drive controller of the vehicle, saving a definition of a base driving resistance of the vehicle in the memory of the drive controller of the vehicle, saving a definition of a behavior of a drive motor of the vehicle, including an engine speed/power correlation of the drive motor, in the memory of the drive controller of the vehicle, calculating a required nominal drive power of the vehicle needed to achieve the desired driving performance, and regulating current drive power of the vehicle according to the nominal drive power calculated by the drive controller. the disclosure further relates to a drive controller as well as a vehicle having a drive controller.
