Abstract

PURPOSE:To accurately detect the acceleratiopn of a vehicle irrespectively of the gravitational acceleration, by calculating the acceleration of the vehicle from the 1st acceleration information related to the front-rear direction of the vehicle and 2nd acceleration information related to the top-bottom direction of the vehicle. CONSTITUTION:The acceleration information VA2 detected by means of an accelerometer A is composed of a component VA1 depending upon the run of a vehicle and another component V'A1 produced when the acceleromater A is inclined. In the case of, for example, a plumb type acclerometer, the V'A1 becomes as follows: V'A1=komegasintheta, where, theta is the grade of a slope, k is a proportional constant, and omega is the weight of the plumb. Therefore, the vA2 becomes as follows: vA2=vA1+komegasintheta. Wheh another acceleromater B is taken into consideration, sintheta=vB2/vB1 is found by comparing the output vB1 at the time of running flatland and the output vB2 at the time of running a slope. Accordingly, the acceleration vA1 (vA1=vA2-lomegavB2/vB1) produced in relation with the run of the vehicle is found from the above-mentioned formulae.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Application of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method for detecting acceleration (positive and negative acceleration are collectively referred to) of a vehicle.

In general, vehicle acceleration information is considered to be useful information when determining the vehicle's absolute speed or when using it to detect braking torque in a brake system. A weight type or other type of accelerometer is used on the assumption that the vehicle is moving, and if there is an effect of gravitational acceleration on a slope etc., the information obtained by such an accelerometer will be interpreted as the acceleration in the direction of travel of the vehicle. The accuracy of this method is poor, and therefore, it is not suitable for applications that require acceleration detection that takes into account driving on slopes and the like.

The method according to the present invention, which has been made to achieve such an object, is characterized by detecting first acceleration information regarding the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and second acceleration information regarding the vehicle vertical direction, and The acceleration of the vehicle is calculated from a component of the first acceleration information that depends on the running of the vehicle and road surface slope information obtained from the second acceleration information.

Specifically, in the method of the present invention, when the longitudinal direction of the vehicle is the X-axis direction and the vertical direction is the two-axis direction, individual accelerometers are installed for each of the X-axis and Z-axis directions, and from these accelerometers. This is implemented by using a control circuit (usually a microcomputer) that receives the signal as input and performs a predetermined calculation. The accelerometer used in the above is not particularly limited, and various known accelerometers can be used, but the unevenness of the road surface on which the vehicle is running may cause errors due to vibration, especially for accelerometers in two axial directions. Generally, those with low response frequency,
It is often desirable to use a frequency of preferably about 1 QHz or less.
