Vehicle regulating system control device and method for determining vehicle tire states

摘要

A control device for a vehicle regulating system is configured to pick up driving state measurement signals from driving state sensors of the vehicle and determine reaction properties of the vehicle wheels from the signals. The control device is configured to also pick up roadway measurement signals of a spectroscopic sensor that is aligned with a roadway surface and determine therefrom the presence and/or properties of a layer of water on the roadway surface. The control device determines tire properties of the tires on the basis of the determined reaction properties of the vehicle wheels and the roadway measurement signals.

主权项

1. A control device for a vehicle regulating system, comprising: electronics configured to:
(i) receive driving state measurement signals transmitted from driving state sensors of the vehicle; (ii) determine reaction properties of wheels of the vehicle from the driving state measurement signals; (iii) receive roadway measurement signals of a spectroscopic sensor aligned with a roadway surface; (iv) determine properties of the roadway surface from the roadway measurement signals, the properties of the roadway surface comprising at least one of a presence and properties of a water layer on the roadway surface; (v) compare the properties of the roadway surface with the reaction properties of the tires; and (vi) evaluate whether determined reaction properties are appropriate for the properties of the roadway surface to determine tire properties of tires of the wheels.
