VEHICLE BEHAVIOR CONTROL DEVICE AND VEHICLE BEHAVIOR CONTROL METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18415695 titled 'VEHICLE BEHAVIOR CONTROL DEVICE AND VEHICLE BEHAVIOR CONTROL METHOD
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes a device and method for controlling the behavior of a vehicle based on road surface conditions. It includes components such as a road surface condition detection unit and a ride comfort control unit.
- Road surface condition detection unit detects uneven structures on the road surface.
- Ride comfort control unit adjusts braking/driving force of the vehicle's wheels to enhance ride comfort.
- When an uneven structure is detected, the ride comfort control is suppressed to prevent unnecessary adjustments.
Key Features and Innovation: - Detection of uneven road structures - Adjustment of braking/driving force for ride comfort control - Suppression of ride comfort control when uneven structures are detected
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in various vehicles to improve ride comfort and safety by adjusting vehicle behavior based on road surface conditions.
Problems Solved: - Enhances ride comfort by adjusting vehicle behavior - Improves safety by detecting and responding to uneven road structures
Benefits: - Increased ride comfort for passengers - Enhanced safety on uneven road surfaces - Improved vehicle performance based on road conditions
Commercial Applications: Potential commercial applications include automotive industry for vehicles with advanced ride comfort control systems, transportation companies for fleet management, and road maintenance authorities for road surface monitoring.
Prior Art: Prior art related to this technology may include patents or research on vehicle behavior control systems, road surface condition detection, and ride comfort control in vehicles.
Frequently Updated Research: Researchers may be conducting studies on optimizing ride comfort control algorithms, improving road surface condition detection technology, and enhancing overall vehicle performance based on road conditions.
Questions about Vehicle Behavior Control Technology: 1. How does the road surface condition detection unit work in detecting uneven structures? 2. What are the potential implications of suppressing ride comfort control when uneven structures are detected?
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle behavior control device and a vehicle behavior control method are provided in the disclosure, which includes the following components. A road surface condition detection unit configured to detect whether an uneven structure extending or spreading along a front-rear direction of a vehicle or a left-right direction of the vehicle exists on a front road surface of the vehicle. A ride comfort control unit, configured to perform ride comfort control by adjusting braking/driving force of each of the front and rear wheels of the vehicle. When the uneven structure is detected by the road surface condition detection unit, the ride comfort control is suppressed.
