Embodiment Construction

[0041] The vehicle computer may be programmed to determine damage quantification values ​​for vehicle components formed from the composite material based on vehicle sensor data, and to operate the vehicle in accordance with the determined damage quantification values. The computer may be programmed to alter vehicle missions (eg, navigation mode, vehicle path, etc.) based on detected damage, eg, to reduce the risk of injury, further damage, etc., eg, due to structural failure or reduced crashworthiness risk or occurrence. In one example, the vehicle computer may also actuate vehicle actuators, such as a communication device, to request repairs at a service center based on the detected damage.

[0042] figure 1 Vehicle 100 is shown. Vehicle 100 may be powered in various known manners, for example, with an electric motor and / or an internal combustion engine. Vehicle 100 may be a land vehicle, such as a car, truck, drone, or the like. Vehicle 100 may include computer 110 , act...

Abstract

The invention provides vehicle damage detectionA damage quantifier for a vehicle component formed of composite material is determined based on vehicle sensor data. The vehicle is operated based on a mission determined according to determined damage quantifier.

Description

technical field [0001] The present disclosure relates generally to vehicle frames, and more particularly to vehicle damage detection. Background technique [0002] Carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) can be used, for example, in the manufacture of machine parts, such as body parts. CFRP is often used for improved strength, stiffness, resistance, high corrosion resistance, weight savings, and more. However, CFRP parts may deteriorate or be damaged, thereby preventing the operation of a machine (eg, a vehicle), or preventing the safe and / or efficient operation of the vehicle. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0003] Disclosed herein is a method that includes determining a damage quantification value for a vehicle component formed from a composite material based on vehicle sensor data, and operating the vehicle based on a task determined based on the determined damage quantification value. [0004] The determining task may include selecting a navigation mode based on the deter...
