Title: Method for operating an ultrasonic parking sensor in a vehicle
Inventor: YOPP WILFORD TRENT
IPC: G01S15/931
Filed: 2013-07-31
Abstract: It is known to use a measure of ambient air temperature, humidity and/or pressure to correct for changes in propagation speed of ultrasonic signals through air between a vehicle and an object. There is a further need to correct for the effect of increased temperature of the ultrasonic sensor itself as a result of heat from the engine compartment. This is achieved by deriving an estimate of the sensor temperature from powertrain information such as engine intake temperature, vehicle road speed, fuel consumption, coolant temperature, sun load, and climate control settings. The signal strength is initially corrected on the basis of outside temperature and powertrain information. A further correction is applied upon determination of a particular vehicle operating condition, e.g. speed and duration of the vehicle (see figs. 6 and 7), which takes into account at least one of the current outside temperature and powertrain information.
