Description

[0001] TITLE OF INVENTION

[0002] SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING VEHICLE ROLLOVER

[0003] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0004]

[0001] The present invention relates to a system and a method for assisting a driver of a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a passive system and method for preventing roll over of the vehicle.

[0005] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0006]

[0002] A rollover accident occurs when the vehicle ends up on its side or roof and may even roll further back onto its wheels. This is particularly true for two-wheeled, three wheeled and heavy vehicles such as trucks which are generally less stable and do not include systems and methods which can monitor and control the vehicle dynamics to prevent roll over during sharp manoeuvres or cornering, which is undesirable. The roll over of the vehicle is generally a combination of one or more factors. One of the factors causing roll over is aggressive driving by the driver of the vehicle. Aggressive driving, including speeding, rapid lane changes and sharp, sudden turns, which can lead to a potential rollover, especially in vehicles with a higher center of gravity. Vehicles with a high center of gravity are more prone to rollovers. This is because the higher center of gravity makes the vehicle less stable during sharp turns or sudden manoeuvres. Environmental and road conditions are another common cause of rollover accidents. Rural roads, for example, are more likely to be the scene of rollover accidents than urban settings, partly due to higher speed limits, less traffic, undivided lanes, and soft road shoulders. These factors can contribute to rollovers when vehicles veer off the road. Weather conditions, such as rain, snow, ice, and fog, can also increase rollover risk by reducing visibility and vehicle traction, making it harder to maintain control. Road design elements, including sharp curves, steep slopes, and poorly maintained surfaces, can further contribute to the likelihood of a rollover.

[0007]

[0003] In view of the foregoing, there is a need felt to overcome at least the above- mentioned disadvantages of the prior arts.

[0029] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0030]

[0017] Various features and embodiments of the present invention here will be discernible from the following further description thereof, set out hereunder.

[0031]

[0018] The present invention generally relates to a system and a method for assisting a driver of the vehicle. Particularly, the present invention relates to a passive system and method for controlling and preventing rollover of a vehicle. The term “passive” indicates that the driver of the vehicle is not actively involved in preventing the rollover of the vehicle. It should be understood that, for the purposes of the present invention, the term “driver” has been used. However, the same should not be construed as limiting and the term “driver”, in addition to being used for passenger vehicles such as rickshaws, cars, trucks etc. also includes a rider of saddle type vehicle as well as straddle type vehicle such as motorcycles, scooters etc.

[0032]

[0019] In the ensuing exemplary embodiments, the vehicle is a multi-wheeled vehicle. The vehicle may be a two-wheeled vehicle, a three-wheeled vehicle, a four- wheeled vehicle or other multi-wheeled vehicle. The vehicle may be powered by an internal combustion engine, or an internal combustion engine and an electric motor or an electric motor through one or more batteries or a hybrid-electric motor as per requirement. However, it is contemplated that the disclosure in the present invention may be applied to any automobile capable of accommodating the present subject matter without defeating the scope of the present invention.

[0033]

[0020] Figure 1 illustrates the system 100 for assisting a driver of a vehicle 118. The system 100 includes one or more sensors 101. The one or more sensors 101 are configured to detect a first set of pre-defined parameters. In an embodiment, the one or more sensors 101 include, but not limited to, a vehicle speed sensor 114, gyroscope sensor 116 and a Throttle Positioning Sensor (TPS) 112. The system 100 further includes a control unit 104. The one or more sensors 101 are coupled to the control unit 104. In an embodiment, the control unit 104 may be, but not limited to, a vehicle control unit or an electronic control unit. The control unit 104 is disposed in the vehicle 118. The control unit 104 is configured to receive the first set of predefined parameters. The first set of predefined parameters are selected from a group comprising a speed of the vehicle 118, an acceleration of the vehicle 118, a yaw rate of the vehicle 118, an orientation of the vehicle 118 and a lateral acceleration of the vehicle 118. In an embodiment, the control unit 104 receives speed from the vehicle speed sensor 114. The control unit 104 receives the acceleration of the vehicle 118, the yaw rate of the vehicle 118, the orientation of the vehicle 118 and the lateral acceleration of the vehicle 118 from the gyroscope sensor 116. In an embodiment, the control unit 104 is configured to receive input from the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) 112. The inputs from throttle position sensor (TPS) (112) helps to determine throttle / acceleration input given by the driver, which affects the acceleration of the vehicle.

[0034]

[0021] The control unit 104 is configured to determine one or more roll-over parameters of the vehicle 118 based on the first set of pre-defined parameters. In an embodiment, the one or more roll-over parameters are selected from a group comprising the lateral acceleration, the yaw rate and the orientation of the vehicle 118. In a non-limiting example, the vehicle 118 starts rolling-over, once it reaches the minimum threshold value of the lateral acceleration or the minimum threshold value of the yaw rate of the vehicle 118.

[0035]

[0022] The control unit 104 is further configured to perform a first set of pre-defined operations when the one or more roll-over parameters of the vehicle 118 are between a minimum threshold value and a maximum threshold value. In an embodiment, the control unit 104 performs a first set of pre-defined operations when the lateral acceleration or the yaw rate of the vehicle 118 is between a minimum threshold value and a maximum threshold value. In an embodiment, the first set of pre-defined operations comprises instructing a motor controller 106 to control a throttle of a motor 102 of the vehicle 118 to reduce acceleration of the vehicle. In an embodiment, the acceleration of the vehicle 118 is reduced until the lateral acceleration of the vehiclel 18 reaches below the minimum threshold value.

[0036]

[0023] The control unit 104 is further configured to perform a second set of predefined operations when the one or more roll-over parameters exceeds a maximum threshold value. In an embodiment, the control unit 104 performs the second set of pre-defined operations when the lateral acceleration or the yaw rate of the vehicle 118 exceeds a maximum threshold value. In an embodiment, the second set of pre-defined operations comprises instructing the motor controller 106 to control the throttle of the motor 102 of the vehicle 118 to reduce the acceleration of the vehicle, and further performing a braking operation to reach the one or more roll-over parameters value below the maximum threshold value or the minimum threshold value. In an embodiment, the acceleration of the vehicle 118 is reduced until the lateral acceleration of the vehiclel 18 reaches below the minimum threshold value. It is to be understood that when the roll over condition is determined, operation of the motor will be controlled by the control unit to avoid roll over and input from the driver will not be considered / sent to motor controller for changing acceleration rate of the vehicle.

[0037]

[0024] In a non-limiting example, as shown in figures 2, and 3A, when the one or more roll-over parameters of the vehicle 118 determined by the control unit 104 is the lateral acceleration of the vehicle 118, and when the lateral acceleration is less than the minimum threshold value, then the driver of the vehicle 118 can apply full acceleration and there is no acceleration modulation. Further, when the lateral acceleration of the vehicle 118 is between a minimum threshold value and a maximum threshold value, the throttle of the motor 102 is controlled by the motor controller 106 to reduce acceleration of the vehicle 118. The motor controller 106 starts decreasing the torque applied to wheels through reduction of motor torque. When the lateral acceleration of the vehicle 118 exceeds the maximum threshold value, the acceleration of the vehicle is controlled by reducing throttle of the motor 102 by the motor controller 106, and if the lateral acceleration still exceeds the maximum threshold value after controlling the throttle of the motor 102, then a braking operation is performed to reach a lateral acceleration value below the maximum threshold value or the minimum threshold value. In an embodiment, the acceleration of the vehicle 118 is reduced until the lateral acceleration of the vehiclel l8 reaches below the minimum threshold value. Further, working examples depicted in the graphs shown in figures 4 and 5, illustrates the change in acceleration of the vehicle vis-a-vis the change in the lateral acceleration of the vehicle and the TPS value of the motor of a multi-wheel electric vehicle. Figure 4 shows that when the lateral acceleration of the vehicle 118 is between a minimum threshold value (shown by E) and a maximum threshold value (shown by F), the throttle of the motor 102 is controlled by the motor controller 106 to reduce acceleration of the vehicle 118. The motor controller 106 starts decreasing the torque applied to wheels through reduction of motor torque. In figure 5, ‘A’ line on the graph depicts TPS read value i.e., the actual acceleration value of the vehicle), and ‘B’ line depicts “Throttle Out” i.e., the controlled value of throttle applied to vehicle 118 by the motor controller 106 or modulated acceleration value of the vehicle. In the above-mentioned figures 4 and 5, we can observe that whenever roll-over occurs, throttle of the electric motor is controlled such that the acceleration as well as lateral acceleration of the vehicle 118 is in control.

[0038]

[0025] In an alternate non-limiting embodiment, the one or more roll-over parameters of the vehicle 118 determined by the control unit 104 is the yaw rate of the vehicle 118. As shown in figure 2 and 3B, when the yaw rate is less than the minimum threshold value, the driver is capable of applying full acceleration and there is no acceleration modulation. Further, when the yaw rate of the vehicle 118 is between a minimum threshold value and a maximum threshold value of yaw rate, the throttle of the motor 102 is controlled by the motor controller 106 to reduce acceleration of the vehicle 118. The motor controller 106 starts decreasing the torque applied to wheels through reduction of motor torque. When the yaw rate of the vehicle 118 exceeds the maximum threshold value, the acceleration of the vehicle is controlled by reducing throttle of the motor 102 by the motor controller 106, and if the yaw rate still exceeding the maximum threshold value after controlling the throttle of the motor 102, then the braking operation is performed to reach the yaw rate value below the maximum threshold value or the minimum threshold value. In an embodiment, the acceleration of the vehicle 118 is reduced until the yaw rate of the vehiclel 18 reaches below the minimum threshold value.

[0039]

[0026] In an embodiment, the braking operation is a regenerative braking operation. During regenerative braking operation, the control unit 104 sends signal to a Battery Management System (BMS) 108 for charging one or more battery packs. In another embodiment, the control unit 104 sends brake signals to Turn ON brake lights to indicate to the driver when the regenerative braking is applied. Further, in another embodiment, the control unit 104 is configured to be in communication with a telematics unit 110 to store the processed data of the vehicle 118 for monitoring purposes. The telematics unit 110 unit also stores the preset values of the first set of pre-defined parameters.

[0040]

[0027] In an alternate non-limiting embodiment, more than one roll-over parameter can be used for performing the first pre-defined operations and the second predefined operations. For example, both the yaw rate and the lateral acceleration can be used by the control unit 104 to perform the first pre-defined operations and the second pre-defined operations.

[0041]

[0028] Figure 6 illustrates a flow diagram of a method for assisting a driver of a vehicle 118, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. At step 602, a first set of pre-defined parameters is detected by one or more sensors 101. In an embodiment, the first set of pre-defined parameters are selected from a group comprising a speed of the vehicle 118, an acceleration of the vehicle 118, a yaw rate of the vehicle 118, an orientation of the vehicle 118 and a lateral acceleration of the vehicle 118. At step 604, a control unit 104 determines one or more roll-over parameters of the vehicle 118 based on the first set of pre-defined parameters. In an embodiment, the one or more roll-over parameters are selected from a group comprising the lateral acceleration, the yaw rate and the orientation of the vehicle 118. At step 606, the control unit 104 checks if the one or more roll-over parameters of the vehicle 118 are between the minimum threshold value and the maximum threshold value. At step 608, when the one or more roll-over parameters of the vehicle 118 are between the minimum threshold value and the maximum threshold value, the control unit 104 performs the first set of pre-defined operations. In an embodiment, the first set of pre-defined operations comprises instructing the motor controller 106 to control the throttle of the motor 102 of the vehicle 118 to reduce acceleration of the vehicle. At step 606, when the one or more roll-over parameters of the vehicle 118 are not between the minimum threshold value and the maximum threshold value, then at step 610, the control unit 104 checks if the one or more roll-over parameters are less than minimum threshold value. When the one or more roll-over parameters are less than the minimum threshold value then the driver is capable of applying full acceleration and there is no acceleration modulation. At step 612, the control unit 104 checks if the one or more roll-over parameters are greater than maximum threshold value. At step 614, the control unit 104 performs a second set of pre-defined operations when the one or more roll-over parameters of the vehicle 118 exceeds the maximum threshold value. In an embodiment, the second set of pre-defined operations comprises instructing the motor controller 106 to control the throttle of the motor 102 of the vehicle 118 to reduce acceleration of the vehicle 118, and performing the braking operation to reach the lateral acceleration value below the maximum threshold value or minimum threshold value.

[0042]

[0029] In another embodiment, Figure 7 illustrates another flow diagram of the method for assisting the driver of the vehicle 118, in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention. At step 702, the first set of pre-defined parameters is detected by the one or more sensors 101. In a non-limiting example, the one or more sensors include a vehicle speed sensor 114, gyroscope sensor 116 and a Throttle Positioning Sensor (TPS) 112. In a non-limiting example, the first set of predefined parameters are selected from a group comprising a speed of the vehicle 118, an acceleration of the vehicle 118, a yaw rate of the vehicle 118, an orientation of the vehicle 118 and a lateral acceleration of the vehicle 118. At step 704, the control unit 104 determines the one or more roll-over parameters of the vehicle 118 based on the first set of pre-defined parameters. In a non-limiting example, the one or more roll-over parameters are selected from a group comprising the lateral acceleration, the yaw rate and the orientation of the vehicle 118. At step 606, when the one or more roll-over parameters of the vehicle 118 are between the minimum threshold value and the maximum threshold value, the control unit 104 performs the first set of pre-defined operations. In an embodiment, the first set of pre-defined operations comprises instructing the motor controller 106 to control the throttle of the motor 102 of the vehicle 118 to reduce acceleration of the vehicle 118. At step 708, when the one or more roll-over parameters of the vehicle 118 are not between the minimum threshold value and the maximum threshold value, then the control unit 104 checks if the one or more roll-over parameters are less than minimum threshold value. When the one or more roll-over parameters are less than the minimum threshold value then the driver is capable of applying full acceleration and there is no modulation. Further, the control unit 104 checks if the one or more roll-over parameters are greater than maximum threshold value. The control unit 104 performs a second set of pre-defined operations when the one or more roll-over parameters of the vehicle 118 exceeds the maximum threshold value. In an embodiment, the second set of pre-defined operations comprises instructing the motor controller 106 to control the throttle of the motor 102 of the vehicle 118 to reduce acceleration of the vehicle 118, and performing the braking operation to reach the one or more roll-over parameters value below the minimum threshold value.

[0031] The claimed features of the present invention as discussed above are not routine, conventional, or well understood in the art, as the claimed features enable the following solutions to the existing problems in conventional technologies. Specifically, the technical problem of roll over of the vehicle is solved by the present invention.

[0045]

[0032] The present invention is a passive system for preventing roll over of the vehicle. In other words, the driver does not actively control the vehicle parameters when a roll over condition is determined. For example, when the roll over condition is determined, the acceleration input provided by the driver of the vehicle is not considered and the control unit either reduces the speed of the vehicle and / or perform a braking operation to avoid the roll over. In view thereof, the present invention ensures safety of the driver of the vehicle by taking necessary actions upon determination of roll over conditions. The handling of the vehicle during roll-over condition is improved which as a result ensures better safety condition for the driver of the vehicle. The present invention provides proper passive control of the vehicle during or before the roll-over condition and helps in preventing such roll-over. Thereby, increasing the comfort of the driver and increasing the market value of the vehicle. The present invention is simple, reliable and cost effective. In the present invention, to avoid the roll over condition, the speed and the acceleration of the vehicle is controlled thereby avoiding collision and increasing safety of the driver of the vehicle.
