Title: Estimator and method
Inventor: JUAN HERRERA
IPC: G01B21/30
Filed: 2017-08-14
Abstract: A method of estimating surface roughness of a terrain being traversed by a vehicle comprises receiving acceleration information of first and second accelerations along respective first and second axes (310, 320), calculating a combined value based on the two accelerations (330), and adjusting the combined value based on the vehicle speed to generate a surface roughness index value (340). The accelerations may be aligned with vertical, lateral, or longitudinal axes of the vehicle. Combining the accelerations may consist of multiplying the two values together. The surface roughness index may be used as input to a vehicle control system for adapting a driving mode of the vehicle to a particular terrain, e.g., gravel, snow, or sand. By adjusting the combined acceleration value based on the vehicle speed, the obtained surface roughness estimate is independent of vehicle speed. Further roughness index values may be estimated based on wheel torque, vehicle roll acceleration, and vehicle pitch acceleration, and may be averaged to produce an estimate of the terrain roughness.
