- An objective of existing vehicle electronic control systems is to facilitate the driving task by identifying driver intent and aiding the driver by controlling the vehicle to achieve the driver intent safely, robustly, and smoothly.
- the control effectiveness of electronic control systems may be significantly increased when the driver and the electronic control system work together towards the same accident avoidance goal and maximize the accident avoidance capability of the driver-in-the-loop vehicle as a system.
- One approach to achieve this is to provide timely clear and transparent advisory information to a driver such that a responsible driver can respond accordingly.
- advisory information can be gathered or computed from sensors normally found on a vehicle, which implement a bilateral closed-loop control between the driver and the electronic control.
- the electronic control follows the driver intent and the driver responds to the advisory information from the electronic control to modify his drive inputs (such as dropping throttle, easing steering inputs, etc.) In this way, a seamless coordination between the driver and the electronic control system is possible and is likely to minimize the effect of potential safety hazards due to driver errors .
- the driver advisory system approach discussed herein can also be used to improve fuel economy, i.e., a system which can use advising and/or coaching to help the driver learn driving habits that conserve fuel.
- a system which can use advising and/or coaching to help the driver learn driving habits that conserve fuel We also discuss using data from vehicle stability controls to provide real-time warnings when the vehicle approaches the handling limit. This may be part of a cluster of warning functions that may be defined as an Intelligent Personal Minder (IPM) system.
- IPM Intelligent Personal Minder
- the intelligence computed for the IPM system can be sent to warn or advise a driver through various devices including a haptic pedal, a heads-up-display, an audio warning device, a voice system, etc.
- Figure 1 depicts the interaction of an embodiment of an IPM system 10 with other components/subsystems 12 of a vehicle 14.
- the other components/subsystems 12 may include vehicle sensors 16, 18 (e.g., a yaw rate sensor, steering angle sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, longitudinal acceleration sensor, wheel speed sensor, brake pressure sensor, etc.), actuators 20 and one or more controllers 22.
- the one or more controllers 22 may include stability control 24, arbitration logic 26 and other controllers/systems 28 (e.g., anti-lock braking system, traction control system, etc. )
- the plant model may play a role in designing an effective control strategy.
- a driver model is important for generating effective and appropriate driver advisory signals.
- driving style characterization may be needed.
- driver modeling and driver behavior characterization have been studied, we suggest an approach in which the driving behavior/style and/or the driving experience level may be deduced, for example, based on the frequency and duration of driving close to the handling limit (as well as other techniques) .
- driver characterization information may be used in a variety of applications, some of which are discussed below.
- a vehicle's handling determines the vehicle's ability to corner and maneuver. The vehicle needs to stick to the road with its four tire contact patches in order to maximize its handling capability.
- a tire which exceeds its limit of adhesion is either spinning, skidding or sliding.
- a condition where one or more tires exceed their limits of adhesion may be called a limit handling condition and the adhesion limit may be called a handling limit.
- the average driver is usually no longer in control.
- understeer case the car under performs a driver's steering input, its front tires pass their handling limit, and the vehicle continues going straight regardless of the driver's steering request.
- the so- called oversteer case the car over performs the driver's steering inputs, its rear tires pass their handling limit, and the vehicle continues spinning.
- most vehicles are built to understeer at their handling limits.
- ESC electronic stability control
- ABS anti-lock braking systems
- TCS all- speed traction control systems
- ESC systems may provide the yaw and lateral stability assist to the vehicle dynamics centered around the driver's intent. It may also proportion brake pressure (above or below the driver applied pressure) to individual wheel (s) so as to generate an active moment to counteract the unexpected yaw and lateral sliding motions of the vehicle. This leads to enhanced steering control at the handling limits for any traction surface during braking, accelerating or coasting. More specifically, current ESC systems compare the driver's intended path to the actual vehicle response which is inferred from onboard sensors.
- the ESC controller applies braking at selected wheel (s) and reduces engine torque if required to keep the vehicle on the intended path and to minimize loss of control of the vehicle.
- a limit handling condition can be detected using data already existing in ESC systems, so new sensors may not be required.
- a vehicle equipped with an ESC system using a yaw rate sensor, a steering wheel sensor, a lateral accelerometer, a wheel speed sensors, a master cylinder brake pressure sensor, a longitudinal accelerometer, etc.
- vehicle motion variables are defined in the coordinate systems as defined in ISO-8855, where a frame fixed on the vehicle body has its vertical axis up, longitudinal axis along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and a lateral axis pointed from the passenger side to the driver side.
- vehicle level feedback controls can be computed from individual motion variables such as yaw rate, sideslip angle, or their combination together with arbitrations among other control commands such as driver braking, engine torque request, ABS and TCS. Vehicle level control commands are discussed in the following.
- the well-known bicycle model captures the vehicle dynamics, its yaw rate ⁇ z along the vertical axis of the vehicle body and its sideslip angle ⁇ r defined at its rear axle, and obeys the following equations
- I z ⁇ z -b f c f ⁇ r + b ⁇ zt v; 1 - ⁇ )+ b r c r ⁇ r + M z
- v x is the vehicle's travel speed
- M and I z are the total mass and the yaw moment of inertia of the vehicle
- Cf and Cr are the cornering stiffness of the front and rear tires
- bf and b r are the distances from the center of gravity of the vehicle to the front and rear axles
- b b f + b rr M z is the active moment applied to the vehicle
- ⁇ is the front wheel steering angle.
- a target yaw rate ⁇ zt and a target sideslip angle ⁇ rt used to reflect the driver's steering intent can be calculated from (1) using the measured steering wheel angle ⁇ and the estimated travel velocity v x as the inputs.
- the yaw rate feedback controller is essentially a feedback controller computed from the yaw error (the difference between the measured yaw rate and the target yaw rate) . If the vehicle is turning left and ⁇ z > ⁇ zt + cozdbos (where ⁇ ZC jbos is a time varying deadband) , or the vehicle is turning right and ⁇ z ⁇ ⁇ zt - ⁇ Z dbos, the vehicle is oversteering and activating the oversteer control function in ESC. For instance, the active torque request (applied to the vehicle for reducing the oversteer tendency) might be computed as in the following
- M z min( ⁇ ,-k os ( ⁇ z - ⁇ zt - ⁇ zdbos ))
- M z max( ⁇ ,-k os ( ⁇ z - ⁇ zt + ⁇ zdbos ))
- k os is a speed dependent gain which might be defined as in the following k dbu - k dbl
- the active torque request can be computed as in the following
- M z max( ⁇ ,-k us ( ⁇ z - ⁇ zt + ⁇ zdbus j)
- the sideslip angle controller is a supplementary feedback controller to the aforementioned oversteer yaw feedback controller. It compares the sideslip angle estimation ⁇ r to the target sideslip angle ⁇ rt . If the difference exceeds a threshold ⁇ r db, the sideslip angle feedback control is activated. For instance, the active torque request is calculated as in the following
- M z max( ⁇ , * B (/? - * fashion + B rdb )- k sscmp ⁇ rcmp ) where k ss and k sscmp are tunable parameters and ⁇ rcmp i s a compensated time derivative of the sideslip angle.
- yaw acceleration and sideslip gradient can be similarly generated.
- the dominant vehicle motion variable is either the yaw rate or the sideslip angle
- the aforementioned active torque can be directly used to determine the necessary control wheel (s) and the amount of brake pressures to be sent to corresponding control wheel (s) . If the vehicle dynamics are dominated by multiple motion variables, control arbitration and prioritization will be conducted. The final arbitrated active torque is then used to determine the final control wheel (s) and the corresponding brake pressure (s) . For example, during an oversteer event, the front outside wheel is selected as the control wheel, while during an understeer event, the rear inside wheel is selected as the control wheel.
- the front outside wheel is always selected as the control wheel.
- the amount of brake pressure may be computed by integrating both yaw error and the sideslip angle control commands.
- a vehicle can reach its limit handling condition in its longitudinal motion direction. For example, braking on a snowy and icy road can lead to locked wheels, which increases the stopping distance of the vehicle. Open throttling on a similar road can cause the drive wheels to spin without moving the vehicle forward. For this reason, the handling limit may also be used for these non-steering driving conditions. That is, the conditions where the tire longitudinal braking or driving forces reach their peak values may also be included in a definition of the handling limit.
- v y is the lateral velocity of the vehicle at its e.g. location
- v min is a preset parameter reflecting the allowable minimum longitudinal speed.
- (6) is only valid when the vehicle is not in the reverse driving mode.
- the ABS module will release the brake pressure at that wheel.
- the TCS module will request engine torque reduction and/or brake pressure applied to the opposite wheel at the same axle. Consequently, ABS or TCS activations can be predicted by monitoring how close X 1 S are from ⁇ bp and ⁇ tp .
- TCS TCS
- augmentation of ESC systems may be desirable for roll stability control.
- the appropriate correction which ESC tries to make, however, may be counteracted by the driver or ambient conditions.
- a speeding vehicle, whose tire forces go far beyond the traction capability of the road and the tires, might not be able to avoid an understeer accident even with ESC intervention.
- the proposed Handling Limit Minder determines how close the current driving condition is to the handling limit.
- ESC systems may be configured to determine the potential limit handling conditions through monitoring the motion variables of a vehicle such as those described in the last section.
- the ESC systems may start to compute differential braking control command (s) and determine control wheel (s) .
- the corresponding brake pressure (s) is then sent to the control wheel (s) to stabilize the vehicle.
- the starting point of the ESC activation can be thought of as the beginning of the handling limit.
- a relative handling limit margin h x as in the following
- x is the deviation of a motion variable from its reference value and [x,x] defines the deadband interval within which x falls without initiating the ESC, ABS or
- TCS. x can be any of the control variables defined in the last section (or any other suitable control variable) .
- the benefit of h x defined in (8) is that the driving condition can be quantitatively characterized into different categories. For instance, when h x ⁇ 10%, the driving condition may be categorized as a red zone condition where the driver needs to have special attention or take some special actions (e.g., slowing down the vehicle) ; when 10% ⁇ h x ⁇ 40%, the driving condition may be categorized as a yellow zone condition which needs some level of special attention from the driver; when 40% ⁇ h x ⁇ 100%, the driving condition may be characterized as a normal condition. In the normal condition, the driver need only to maintain his normal driving attention. Of course, other ranges may also be used.
- Various audible and/or visual warnings may be activated to alert a driver about the handling limit margin.
- a warning light/haptic device may activate to inform the driver that they need to slow down.
- a voice enabled display system may instruct the driver to take particular action.
- an audible tone or display may inform the driver that they are approaching unstable driving conditions, etc.
- ⁇ ZC jbus is the understeer yaw rate deadband as defined in (4) .
- the deadbands for the understeer situation (x ⁇ 0) and the oversteer situation (x > 0) are different and they are tunable parameters.
- the longitudinal handling limits of the vehicle involve the conditions when either the driving or braking force of the tires approach the handling limit.
- the final traction and braking handling limit margins may be defined as
- a magnitude of the target yaw rate is beyond a certain threshold
- a magnitude of the measured yaw rate is greater than a certain threshold
- a driver's steering input exceeds a certain threshold
- extreme conditions such as the vehicle's cornering acceleration is greater than 0.5g, the vehicle's deceleration is greater than 0.7g, the vehicle is driven at a speed beyond a threshold (e.g., 100 mph) , etc.
- Knv mi ⁇ l ⁇ s AjS > h TCS ⁇ ABS ⁇ SSR ⁇ ) ( 1 ° )
- a low-pass filter F(z) is used to smooth h env so as to obtain the final handling limit margin
- the HRF may be further used to develop a probabilistic model describing different categories of driving styles which are reflected by the current driving conditions with respect to the handling limit.
- a cautious driver usually drives without frequent aggressiveness, i.e., fast changes of steering, speed and acceleration.
- it is reasonable to characterize a cautious driver as one who constantly avoids using extreme driving inputs and getting close to the maximal handling risk.
- An average driver likely exhibits a higher level of HRF than a cautious driver.
- An expert driver might be more skilful in controlling the vehicle, i.e., he can drive with a relatively high level of HRF for a long duration without having the vehicle pass the maximal handling limit.
- a reckless driver exhibits a careless handling behavior which is unpredictable and could induce fast changes.
- Figure 8 shows the relationship between the degrees of membership for each of those categories and the HRF.
- the membership functions in Figure 8 can be assigned to any event that is represented by a specific HRF with value r k using a four dimensional vector
- the vector of membership values d k makes the association between a single driving event and the possible driver characterization with respect to the HRF of that event.
- the aggregated possibilities can be considered as frequencies (sometimes referred to as fuzzy frequencies) since they reveal how frequently and to what degree the HRFs for the multiple events can be cascaded to the four example categories.
- the alternative to aggregating the possibilities, i.e., adding the membership functions, is to add 1 if the specific membership grade ⁇ r ⁇ J e ⁇ c,a,e,r ⁇ is greater than a prescribed threshold value, e.g., 0.8, or 0 otherwise, resulting in calculating the conventional frequency of the four example categories. From the aggregated possibilities, we can calculate the probabilities of the cautious, average, expert and reckless driver style
- the probabilities are calculated from the aggregated possibilities (fuzzy frequencies) and can be considered fuzzy probabilities.
- the reason for the fuzziness here is the lack of certainty in characterizing the relationship between the four example categories and the HRF.
- the possibilities transform to Boolean values, their aggregated values become frequencies, and consequently the fuzzy probabilities are translated to conventional probabilities.
- the most likely driver category i* is the one that is characterized with the highest probability, i.e.,
- the frequencies based calculation of the probabilities can be expressed in terms of the average frequencies
- the process of generating a weighted average with higher weights corresponding to the recent observation can be accomplished by applying a low pass filter implementing the exponential smoothing algorithm in the time domain

- Vector W delineates a weighted average type aggregating operator with exponentially decreasing weights that are parameterized by the forgetting factor a.
- Weighted average (17) is calculated over the events with indexes belonging to a soft interval
- a may be selectable so that a characterization for a desired period of time is achieved. For example, a user may supply input related to a such that every half hour, a characterization is made. Other scenarios are also possible.
- the individual P 1 1 S are shown on Figure 9B indicating that for most of the driving, the driver exhibited a reckless driving behavior, which is consistent with the large value of the sideslip angle in Figure 3C (peak magnitude of the sideslip angle exceeds 10 degrees) .
- the individual p ⁇ ' s are shown in Figure 1OB, indicating that the driver initially exhibited an average driver behavior and then transitioned to a reckless driver behavior.
- the calculated probabilities define the most likely HRF based characterization of a driver for the time window that is specified by the forgetting factor a.
- the Markov model P probabilistically describes the set of transitions between the current and the predicted value of the driver category:
- p ⁇ J is the probability of switching from category i at time k to category j at time k+1
- P 11 max (p 2 ) is the probability that is associated with the dominating category i at time k, i,je ⁇ c,a,e,r).
- the transitional probabilities are then calculated by converting the aggregated transitional possibilities to the probabilities.
- the maximal transitional probability P 1J determines the transition from category i to category j as the most likely transition.
- Figures HA and HB use a driving vehicle test to verify long term driving behavior characterization.
- the driver generally shows a cautious driving style (which could be a novice, average or expert driver) .
- the vehicle was turned with some degree of aggressiveness which can be seen from the peak at the HRF plot, and the driving style transitioned to the average category. Since no major HRF events were further identified, this category was carried out for the rest of the driving cycle in conjunction with the concept of the long term characterization.
- various audible and/or visual warnings may be activated to alert a driver about the handling limit margin.
- the margin thresholds that define whether (and/or what type) of warning is to be issued may be altered (or suspended) based on the driver characterization. For example, if it is determined that the driver is an expert driver, the warning threshold may be reduced from h x ⁇ 10% to h x ⁇ 2%, or the warnings regarding the handling limit margin may be suspended (an expert driver may not need the warnings) .
- V. Unsupervised Driving Style Characterization During a normal driving maneuver, a driver' s long term longitudinal vehicle control may be used to determine driving behavior regardless of the vehicle's dynamic response. For instance, a driver may exhibit a specific longitudinal control pattern during driving on a highway for a long period of time. His pattern of acceleration pedal activation can be smooth or abrupt even in the absence of emergency conditions. The variability of the pedal and its rate change can be used to differentiate between smooth and abrupt application. Such a smooth or abrupt application exhibits strong correlation with fuel economy and acceleration performance when driving conditions are unconstrained. Identifying such driving behaviors can be used, for example, to implement a fuel economy advisor. Anomaly detection can be used to estimate major changes in the overall variability of the control actions indicating changes in corresponding behaviors.
- Anomaly detection is a technique that puts a major emphasis on the continuous monitoring, machine learning, and unsupervised classification to identify a trend of departure from a normal behavior and predict potential significant change.
- the determinant of the covariance matrix of the population of a driver's actions may be used as a measure of the generalized variance (spread) of the population, and hence as an indicator for a change in the driver's behavior.
- the determinant D of the covariance matrix of the population can be recursively calculated as
- G k+l Q k (y k -vja(l-a + a(y k - v k )ft (y k - v k ) ⁇ ) l
- v k is a filtered version of y k
- Q k is the estimated inverse covariance matrix
- a is a constant which reflects the forgetting factor related to the filter memory depth.
- Dk thus computed in (21) has initial means and standard deviations for abrupt and smooth type behaviors.
- the instantaneous behavior is classified as abrupt if its value is higher than a control limit l abrupt and is classified as smooth if its value is lower than a control limit "smooth • hbrupt and u sm oo,h are defined as
- Figure 12 shows the determinant of the covariance matrix from the vector of acceleration pedal position and its rate change for 8 runs of vehicle tests.
- the 4 runs with solid lines of determinant were for abrupt acceleration pedal applications. These determinants show a large value, for example, greater than 7.
- the 4 runs with dotted lines of determinant were for smooth acceleration pedal applications. These determinants show a small value, for example, less than 4.
- the size of the determinant reveals the unique informative patterns which can be used to distinguish smooth driving behavior from abrupt driving behavior.
- suspension of the continual updating may be required to prevent numerical problems during recursive computation.
- the following suspension conditions may be used: (i) If vehicle speed is less than 1 mph, vehicle speed and acceleration related recursive calculations are suspended, (ii) If the accelerator pedal position is less than 1%, pedal related recursive calculations are suspended.
- All driver inputs may not be accessible by electronic control systems. Certain variables, however, may construct an input-output pair that may be used to deduce driver control structure. For example, during a car-following maneuver, the relative distance between the leading and following car and the driver's braking and throttle requests are usually well coordinated.
- TS Tagaki-Sugeno
- a fuzzy system may utilize the signal conditioned mean driving headway (gap-time) relative to the other vehicle, as well as the standard deviation of the rate changes of the accelerator pedal and brake pedal to determine whether the driver is aggressive or cautious.
- the driver index value from fuzzy computation and rule evaluation may determine the aggressiveness of the driver based on car following, vehicle speed and the driver' s control actions on acceleration and deceleration .
- the recursive estimation of the mean and variance of a variable of interest is applied.
- the signal conditioned average mean gap-time at sample time k can be computed as
- FIGS. 13A and 13B show the mean gap-times computed from two runs of vehicle testing: one for aggressive driving and the other for cautious driving .
- the acceleration pedal rate mean can be computed as
- Figures 14A and 14B show the standard deviations of two runs of test data for aggressive and cautious driving.
- Figures 15A and 15B show the standard deviations of two runs of test data for aggressive and cautious driving. The variables are first normalized before presenting them to the fuzzy inference system. The fuzzy sets and membership functions were determined for the features to transform the crisp inputs into fuzzy terms.
- the mean gap-time fuzzy set G s is defined by
- G is given by the bounded collection of gap-times g in the vehicle path.
- the gap-time membership function ⁇ is chosen to be a Gaussian function.
- a zero-order TS model was used to compute the driver index level.
- a normalized output scale from 0-1.0 represented the levels from cautious, to less aggressive, to aggressive driving behavior.
- the driver index is obtained from fuzzy computation and rule evaluation. Table 1 shows the rules used. Notice that a higher gap- time is relatively more safety conscious compared to a lower gap-time.
- Figures 16A and 16B show the driver index computed from two runs of vehicle testing data: one for aggressive driving with a driver index greater than 0.8 and the other for cautious driving with a driver index less than 0.2.
- the car-following task requires the driver to maintain with the leading vehicle one of the following (i) a zero speed difference; (ii) a constant relative distance; and (iii) a constant relative gap-time defined by the division of the relative distance by the relative velocity.
- a human driver may be modeled as a PD feedback controller.
- the closed loop system during a car following maneuver may be expressed as
- a vehicle equipped with stability controls has a longitudinal accelerometer with output a x , which measures
- the unknown parameters c v and c s in (30) can be used to characterize a driver's control structure during a car following. Using the low-pass filtered As and ⁇ v to replace the gap offset reference x g and its derivative x g , and considering the time delays, we have the following equations
- a is a low-pass filter coefficient similar to the one used in (22), and if is a high frequency uncertain signal that may be treated as white noise.
- c v and c s can be identified in real-time from (31) .
- the response time t p and the damping ratio ⁇ of the driver-in-the-loop system can be related to c v and c s as
- the handling limit and/or driving style characterization may be used for driver advising, coaching, monitoring and safety enforcement.
- Another possible application relates to the opportunity for vehicle personalization through tuning of control parameters to fit the specific driver's style.
- the ESC or brake control system can exploit such a driver style characterization to adapt the actuation threshold to fit the personal driving behavior.
- an expert driver might need less frequent ESC activations compared to a less experienced driver in facing the same driving conditions. (There may, however, be a minimum requirement for adjusting the thresholds such that a mistake by an expert driver can still be assisted by the ESC function) .
- steering sensitivity the degree of vehicle steering response to a given steering input
- accelerator pedal sensitivity the degree of vehicle acceleration response to a given accelerator pedal input
- the steering wheel and/or accelerator pedal may be made more sensitive if the driver is characterized as an expert (providing greater vehicle responsiveness) .
- the steering wheel and/or accelerator pedal may be made less sensitive if the driver is characterized as cautious (potentially leading to improved fuel economy) .
- Figure 21 is a block diagram of an embodiment of an advisory system 30 for a vehicle 32.
- the advisory system 30 may include a plurality of vehicle state sensors 34 (e.g., yaw rate sensor, steering angle sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, longitudinal acceleration sensor, wheel speed sensor, brake pressure sensor, etc.), one or more controllers 36 configured to perform, for example, electronic stability control, anti-lock braking and traction control as well as the handling limit and driver characterization described above, an audio and/or visual indicator system 38 (e.g., a display panel, speaker system, LED array, USB port, etc.), and a vehicle input and/or control system 40 (e.g., accelerator pedal, powertrain controller, steering wheel, etc.)
- vehicle state sensors 34 e.g., yaw rate sensor, steering angle sensor, lateral acceleration sensor, longitudinal acceleration sensor, wheel speed sensor, brake pressure sensor, etc.
- controllers 36 configured to perform, for example, electronic stability control, anti-lock braking and traction control as well as the handling limit and driver characterization described above
- an audio and/or visual indicator system 38 e.g., a display panel,
- the vehicle state sensors 34 may detect the various parameters described above, such as vehicle speed, wheel slip, etc., that characterize the motion of the vehicle 32 (e.g., current handling condition and limit handling condition) as well as the driver inputs described above (e.g., accelerator and brake pedal position, etc.)
- the one or more controllers 36 may use this information as inputs to the handling limit and/or driver characterization algorithms described above. Based on the output of these algorithms, the one or more controllers 36, as described above, may (i) activate the audio and/or visual indicator system 38 to, for example, alert or coach the driver or (ii) modify aspects of the vehicle input and/or control system 40 to customize the vehicle's response to the type of driver.
- the one or more controllers 36 may determine that a driver of the vehicle 32 is driving recklessly. Because the driver has been classified as reckless, the one or more controllers 36 may, for example, begin to issue driving instructions via the audio and/or visual indicator system 38 to encourage the driver to change their behavior. The one or more controllers 36 may also/instead activate haptic elements of the vehicle input and/or control system 40, such as a haptic accelerator pedal, to alert the driver of their reckless behavior .
- a memory accessible by the one or more controllers 36 may include a database of instructions (audio and/or visual) that are mapped with certain predefined rules.
- FIG 22 is a block diagram of another embodiment of an advisory system 130 for a vehicle 132, where like numerals have descriptions similar to those of Figure 21.
- the vehicle 132 includes a token recognition system 142 configured in a known fashion to recognize a token 144.
- the token 144 may be a key including an identification chip identifying a particular driver or class of drivers (e.g., teen drivers) .
- the token recognition system 142 may include a chip reader arranged in a known fashion within an ignition system of the vehicle 132 to read the identification chip and communicate this information to the one or more controllers 136.
- the token 144 may be a key-fob or plastic card having an RFID chip embedded therein.
- the token recognition system 142 may include an RFID chip reader arranged in a known fashion within the vehicle 132 to detect and read the RFID chip and communicate this information to the one or more controllers 136.
- the token 144 may be a cell phone.
- the token recognition system 142 may include known modules (such as Ford's SYNC technology) configured to recognize the cell phone and communicate this information to the one or more controllers 136. Other arrangements and scenarios are also possible.
- a variety of functions may be implemented based on driver identification and the handling limit and/or driving style characterization described above.
- the token recognition system 142 supplies information to the one or more controllers 136 identifying the driver as a teen driver
- the one or more controllers 136 may issue instructions to the driver via the audio and/or visual indicator system 138 to drop throttle or to brake as the handling limit is being approached.
- the one or more controllers 136 may implement rule based commands similar to those described above to effectuate such driving instruction. (An example rule may be that if the driver is a teen driver and if the handling limit margin is less than 15%, then instruct the driver to slow down.)
- the one or more controllers 136 may record a history of the calculations of handling limit margin and/or driver style characterization in order to generate reports describing driving behavior. These reports, for example, may detail, for a given trip, the number of times the teen driver exceeded certain levels of the handling limit margin. These reports, for example, may also describe the teen driver as cautious, aggressive, reckless, etc. during any given trip. Such reports may be accessed, reported or displayed in any suitable/known fashion, such as through the audio and/or visual indicator system 138. As yet another example, driver coaching and/or instruction may be implemented based on the driver identification described above.
- the one or more controllers 136 may, for example, issue instructions to encourage a driver to provide driving inputs to the vehicle 132 that will result in the driver being classified as cautious. If, for example, a driver begins to frequently accelerate and decelerate, the one or more controllers 136 may instruct the driver via the audio and/or visual indicator system 138 to increase the distance between the vehicle 132 and vehicle in front of them so as to reduce the frequency of acceleration and braking. Rules similar to those described above, or any other suitable intelligence technology such as neural networks, etc. may be used to facilitate the instructions. In embodiments where driving behavior is recorded for later reporting, whether the driver heeds or ignores the instructions may also be recorded as an indication of the driver's behavior.
- FIG 23 is a block diagram of yet another embodiment of an advisory system 230 for a vehicle 232, where like numerals have descriptions similar to those of Figure 21.
- This embodiment includes a radar and/or camera system 246 (any suitable forward sensing system, however, may be used) that may periodically/continuously detect, in a known fashion, the distance between the vehicle 232 and another vehicle in front of the vehicle 232.
- the advisory system 230 may also include a token recognition system and associated capabilities similar to that discussed with reference to Figure 22. Other configurations are also possible.
- the distance information collected by the system 246 may be monitored by the one or more controllers 236.
- the one or more controllers 236 may warn the driver via the audio and/or video indicator system 238 and/or activate elements of the vehicle input and/or control systems 240 if they are of the haptic type (e.g., haptic accelerator pedal, haptic steering wheel, haptic seat, etc.)
- some predefined threshold e.g. 20 feet
- the one or more controllers 236 may warn the driver via the audio and/or video indicator system 238 and/or activate elements of the vehicle input and/or control systems 240 if they are of the haptic type (e.g., haptic accelerator pedal, haptic steering wheel, haptic seat, etc.)
- the haptic type e.g., haptic accelerator pedal, haptic steering wheel, haptic seat, etc.
- the distance information, X, collected by the system 246, together with the change in distance over time, V x , and longitudinal acceleration of the vehicle 232, A x may used by the one or more controllers 236 to determine a time to collision, t c , with the vehicle in front of the vehicle 232 by the following equation
- the one or more controllers 236 may warn the driver as described above.
- the one or more controllers 236 may base the warning threshold on the gap time (discussed above) between the vehicle 232 and the vehicle in front of it. If the gap time is less than a threshold value, the one or more controllers 236 may, for example, activate (vibrate) haptic elements of the vehicle input and/or control systems 240, etc.
- the one or more controllers 236 may access tables of distance and speed/relative speed to determine when to warn the driver. As an example, if the distance falls within a certain range and the speed falls within a certain range, the one or more controllers 236 may activate a haptic accelerator pedal. Other scenarios are also possible.
- the intensity (frequency and/or amplitude) with which haptic elements of the vehicle input and/or control systems 240 are activated may depend on the distance, time to collision, gap time, etc. between the vehicle 232 and the vehicle in front of it. As an example, the intensity may increase as these parameters decrease. This increasing intensity may signal increasing urgency.
- the predefined thresholds may depend on the type of driver. That is, the one or more controllers 236 may implement the driver characterization algorithms discussed above and, based on the characterization, increase or decrease the warning threshold. A threshold may be decreased, for example, for an expert driver because they may be less likely to experience an accident as a result of tailgating. A threshold may be increased for a reckless or aggressive driver because they may be more likely to experience an accident as a result of tailgating, etc.
- the predefined thresholds may be altered based on whether the driver heeds the warning they indicate. As an example, if a driver does not increase their following distance to the vehicle in front of them after activation of a haptic accelerator pedal, the predefined following distance that is used to trigger the activation of the haptic pedal may be decreased so as to avoid becoming a nuisance to the driver.
- the predefined thresholds associated with time to collision and gap time may be similarly decreased. A minimum, however, may be established beyond which the threshold will not be decreased.
- the algorithms disclosed herein may be deliverable to a processing device, which may include any existing electronic control unit or dedicated electronic control unit, in many forms including, but not limited to, information permanently stored on non-writable storage media such as ROM devices and information alterably stored on writeable storage media such as floppy disks, magnetic tapes, CDs, RAM devices, and other magnetic and optical media.
- the algorithms may also be implemented in a software executable object.
