METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ASCERTAINING AN ACCELERATION PREVAILING IN A VEHICLE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18538195 titled 'METHOD AND DEVICE FOR ASCERTAINING AN ACCELERATION PREVAILING IN A VEHICLE
The method described in the abstract pertains to determining the acceleration in a vehicle by analyzing input signals representing transverse accelerations at different locations on the vehicle axis.
- The method involves reading a first input signal representing a transverse acceleration at one location on the vehicle axis, and a second input signal representing a transverse acceleration at another location on the vehicle axis.
- An output signal is then ascertained, representing a translational acceleration acting in the vehicle transversely to the vehicle axis at a position different from the input locations.
- The input signals and distances along the vehicle axis between the locations and the position are utilized to calculate the translational acceleration.
Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for vehicle dynamics analysis - Autonomous driving systems for real-time acceleration monitoring - Vehicle safety systems for crash detection based on acceleration data
Problems Solved: - Accurately determining translational acceleration in a vehicle - Enhancing vehicle safety through precise acceleration measurements
Benefits: - Improved accuracy in analyzing vehicle dynamics - Enhanced safety features in vehicles - Potential for advanced autonomous driving systems
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Vehicle Acceleration Monitoring System This technology can be utilized in automotive engineering for developing advanced safety systems, in autonomous vehicle technology for enhancing navigation capabilities, and in research institutions for studying vehicle dynamics.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does this method differ from traditional methods of measuring vehicle acceleration? - The method uses input signals from specific locations on the vehicle axis to calculate translational acceleration accurately. 2. What are the potential implications of this technology in the field of autonomous driving? - This technology could significantly improve the accuracy of acceleration data used in autonomous driving systems, leading to safer and more efficient vehicles.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for ascertaining an acceleration prevailing in a vehicle. The method includes reading in a first input signal which represents a first acceleration acting transversely to the vehicle axis at a first location located on a vehicle axis in the vehicle, and a second input signal which represents a second acceleration acting transversely to the vehicle axis at a second location in the vehicle located on the vehicle axis, and an ascertainment of an output signal which represents a translational acceleration acting in the vehicle transversely to the vehicle axis at a position which differs from the first location and the second location. For this purpose, the input signals and distances along the vehicle axis between the locations and the position are used.
