Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and a system for estimating a road gradient α by using a sensor fusion: Detect whether at least one dynamic process is affecting the vehicle. Estimate gradient α by means of the sensor fusion by joint weighting of at least two input signals to the sensor fusion. The at least two input signals include a signal based on an accelerometer and an input signal based on at least one force equation. At least one of the input signals and/or at least one weighting parameter for the sensor fusion are determined on the basis of detecting whether the at least one dynamic process is affecting the vehicle.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A method for estimating a road gradient α in a vehicle by using a sensor fusion comprising: detecting whether at least one dynamic process is affecting said vehicle and outputting a detection result to at least one electronic control unit; estimating said gradient a by conducting joint weighting of at least two input signals to said sensor fusion in said at least one electronic control unit, such that said at least two input signals comprise an inp…
