METHOD AND DEVICE TO CONTROL DRIVER STYLE-SENSITIVE AUTOMOTIVE SUBSYSTEM

摘要

FIELD: transport. ^ SUBSTANCE: set of inventions relates to automotive control appliances. Method to control at least one active subsystem of vehicle chassis comprises determining normalised lengthwise and crosswise acceleration of vehicle. Driver style is estimated by calculating scalar descriptor of driving style on the basis of normalised accelerations, driving style is determined by comparing driving style descriptor with threshold value and subsystem operating state is set up according to determined driving style. Driving style descriptor calculation comprises the step whereat sum of squares of normalised accelerations is calculated. Motorised vehicle comprises chassis with at least one active subsystem and controller 11 to set up operating style of subsystem in compliance with driver's style estimated by comparing driving style descriptor with threshold value. Controller can calculate sum of squares of normalised accelerations. ^ EFFECT: valid determination of driving style, higher safety of driving. ^ 10 cl, 4 dwg
