Method of Predicting Vehicle Clutch Life Based on Real-Time Judder Diagnosis and System for Diagnosing Vehicle Judder in Real Time - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18178740 titled 'Method of Predicting Vehicle Clutch Life Based on Real-Time Judder Diagnosis and System for Diagnosing Vehicle Judder in Real Time
Simplified Explanation
The embodiment method of predicting vehicle clutch life based on real-time judder diagnosis involves storing actual road driving data to a cloud server, extracting judder occurrence conditions, calculating a judder index, predicting clutch useful life, and generating maintenance notifications.
- Actual road driving data is collected and stored in a cloud server.
- Judder occurrence conditions are identified by analyzing the actual road driving data.
- A judder index is calculated based on the judder occurrence information.
- Clutch useful life for a double clutch transmission is predicted using a prediction curve for the judder index.
- Maintenance notifications are generated when clutch maintenance is needed.
---
- Potential Applications
- Automotive industry for predictive maintenance of vehicle clutches. - Fleet management companies to optimize maintenance schedules. - Vehicle owners to prevent unexpected clutch failures.
- Problems Solved
- Prevents unexpected clutch failures. - Optimizes maintenance schedules. - Increases overall vehicle reliability and longevity.
- Benefits
- Cost savings by avoiding unnecessary clutch replacements. - Improved vehicle performance and safety. - Enhanced user experience with proactive maintenance notifications.
Original Abstract Submitted
An embodiment method of predicting vehicle clutch life based on real-time judder diagnosis includes storing to a cloud server actual road driving data measured by an actual road driving information collection device while a vehicle travels, extracting a judder occurrence entry condition by downloading the actual road driving data from the cloud server and checking judder occurrence information in a clutch life prediction device, calculating a judder index by checking judder index information from the actual road driving data in the clutch life prediction device, predicting a clutch useful life of a double clutch transmission (DCT) using a clutch useful life prediction curve for the judder index, and generating a maintenance notification at a time of clutch maintenance.
