Actuating Apparatus for a Vehicle - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18602578 titled 'Actuating Apparatus for a Vehicle
Simplified Explanation: The actuating apparatus for a vehicle allows for braking and acceleration requests to be specified through actuating surfaces, which are detected by sensor units.
- The apparatus includes actuating surfaces for braking and acceleration requests.
- Sensor units detect actuation of the surfaces.
- One sensor unit can detect actuation of both surfaces.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Dual actuating surfaces for braking and acceleration requests.
- Sensor units for detecting actuation of the surfaces.
- Ability for one sensor unit to detect actuation of both surfaces.
Potential Applications: The technology can be applied in various vehicles, particularly motor vehicles, to enhance braking and acceleration control.
Problems Solved: This technology addresses the need for precise braking and acceleration control in vehicles.
Benefits:
- Improved braking and acceleration control.
- Enhanced safety and performance in vehicles.
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include automotive industry for vehicle safety and performance enhancement.
Questions about Actuating Apparatus for a Vehicle: 1. How does the actuating apparatus improve vehicle control? 2. What are the key features of the sensor units in the apparatus?
Original Abstract Submitted
An actuating apparatus for a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, includes (i) at least one first actuating surface for specifying a braking request, (ii) at least one second actuating surface for specifying an acceleration request, (iii) a first sensor unit for detecting an actuation of the first actuating surface, in particular an actuating force exerted on the first actuating surface, and (iv) a second sensor unit for detecting an actuation of the second actuating surface, in particular an actuating force exerted on the second actuating surface. At least one of the sensor units is provided for detecting an actuation of both actuating surfaces.
