Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Route planning for road vehicles is performed taking into account a ride quality that results from the roadway conditions along road segments on a route. A plurality of vehicles equipped with controlled suspensions calculate ride quality indices as the vehicles move over a plurality of road segments. The plurality of vehicles transmit the ride quality indices tagged with respective geographic coordinates to an aggregating server. The aggregating server determines a composite ride quality index for each road segment. A subscriber generates a route planning request identifying an origin and a destination. At least one potential route is identified between the origin and the destination comprised of selected road segments. A route ride quality index is determined in response to the selected road segments, and the potential route and the route ride quality index are presented to the subscriber for selection.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of route planning for road vehicles, comprising the steps of: a plurality of vehicles equipped with controlled suspensions calculating ride quality indices as the vehicles move over a plurality of road segments, wherein the ride quality indices comprise primary ride quality data and secondary ride quality data, wherein primary ride quality data corresponds to ride quality at a frequency of about 1-2 Hz, and secondary ride quality data corresponds to…
