Vehicle control device for managing acceleration during bumps
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11965471B2) discloses a method and device for operating a vehicle control system. The method involves acquiring the acceleration of front and rear wheels of a vehicle, determining if the acceleration is outside a specified range, and identifying if the wheels are passing over a bump based on fluctuation patterns within set time periods. Once it is determined that both wheels have passed the bump, the drive unit of the vehicle is controlled to manage the power source, ensuring that the output of the power source is not reduced. The device includes units for acquiring accelerations, making determinations, and controlling the drive unit based on the identified patterns and conditions, such as wheelbase, speed, and traction control system operation.
The innovative method and device described in the patent aim to enhance vehicle control and stability when encountering road bumps. By monitoring the acceleration patterns of front and rear wheels and determining bump passage based on specific criteria, the system can effectively control the power source to maintain vehicle performance and safety. Additionally, the device includes features such as calculating time limits based on vehicle parameters and receiving control authority from occupants through a user interface, further improving the adaptability and responsiveness of the system to varying road conditions and user preferences. Overall, the patent provides a comprehensive approach to optimizing vehicle control in challenging road scenarios, ensuring a smoother and safer driving experience for users.
