| 20080262693 | METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE DESIRED SPEED IN AN OVERRUN CONDITION FOR A VEHICLE COMPRISING A RETARDER - A method for controlling the desired speed in overrun condition for a vehicle comprising a retarder is proposed, such that the desired speed is controlled by a continuously adjustable retarder braking and/or engine braking control system. | 10-23-2008 |
| 20080300766 | Cruise control system and method - In a cruise control system for a vehicle, a cruise ECU calculates a cornering resistance applied to the vehicle based upon a steering angle, when a vehicle turns. The cruise ECU calculates a speed reduction amount as a correction vehicle speed based upon the cornering resistance. The cruise ECU subtracts the correction vehicle speed from a set vehicle speed to set a target vehicle speed so that the vehicle speed becomes lower as the cornering resistance is larger. The cruise ECU controls the vehicle speed to be within a permissible speed range of the target vehicle speed. | 12-04-2008 |
| 20090069997 | Vehicle control device and vehicle control method - A vehicle control device for controlling the driving force and braking force that is applies to a vehicle to maintain a target wheel speed includes: a plurality of determination parts each of which determines the wheel speed of a corresponding one of a plurality of wheels of the vehicle; a calculation part that calculates the wheel speed validity threshold for each wheel based on the determined wheel speeds; a decision part that decides whether the wheel speed validity threshold calculated for each wheel is below a specific threshold speed; a setting part that resets the target wheel speed depending on the result of the decision by the decision part; and an estimation part that estimates the vehicle speed based on the determined wheel speeds. | 03-12-2009 |
| 20100318273 | Method and Apparatus for Controlling Traveling Speed of a Vehicle - In a method for controlling the driving speed of a vehicle that has a speed control device into which a set speed can be entered as driver command, a reference variable of the speed control device is varied within a specified or specifiable speed range of the set speed, based on an evaluation of a section of the road ahead of the driver and maintaining a minimum fuel usage in a first operating mode of the speed control device. To enable a better control of the driving speed, the method includes steps of i) detecting a change of the set speed; ii) changing over from the first operating mode to a second operating mode of the speed control device when a change of the set speed has been detected; iii) determining the reference variable in the second operating mode based on the change in such a manner that a tuning of the speed control device to a higher driving speed takes place with an increase of the set speed resulting from the change, and a tuning process of the speed control device to a lower driving speed takes place with a decrease of the set speed resulting from the change; and iv) changing back from the second operating mode to the first operating mode, if an interruption criterion is fulfilled. | 12-16-2010 |
| 20130035837 | MODULE AND A METHOD PERTAINING TO MODE CHOICE WHEN DETERMING VEHICLE SPEED SET-POINT VALUES - A module for determining speed set-point values V | 02-07-2013 |
| 20130253797 | PREDICTION OF DRIVER-SPECIFIC CRUISE SPEED USING DYNAMIC MODELING - A controller for predicting cruising speeds of a vehicle includes a processor and an extracting unit to extract feature data from segments of a prior trajectory of the vehicle, the feature data including cruising speeds of the vehicle and predictive feature data. The controller also includes a model generator to generate a probabilistic model associating the predictive feature data with the cruising speeds of the vehicle and a predicting unit to predict a cruising speed of the vehicle for a target segment, which is an upcoming cruising segment of the vehicle, by conditioning the probabilistic model on real-time predictive feature data of segments of a current trajectory. | 09-26-2013 |
