BEV Pseudo Shifting Control for Safe Vehicle Customization
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users of driving simulator video games cannot directly apply custom vehicle characteristics from the game to a real battery electric vehicle without risking the vehicle's ability to travel safely.
Innovation Solution
A battery electric vehicle equipped with an electric motor, a driving operation member, a pseudo shifting operation member, and a control device that allows users to customize vehicle characteristics, while ensuring that only suitable settings are applied to maintain the vehicle's operational safety.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If customized vehicle characteristics from driving simulator games are applied to a real battery electric vehicle, then user satisfaction and driving experience are improved, but vehicle safety and operational reliability may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
A control device acts as an intermediary between the customization interface and the vehicle's motion control system. It receives customized setting information, evaluates suitability based on predetermined criteria, and only applies settings that pass the suitability determination. This intermediary layer protects the vehicle from unsafe customizations while still allowing beneficial customization.
Solution Approach 2:
The control device implements a feedback mechanism where customized settings are evaluated against predetermined suitability criteria before being applied to the vehicle's motion characteristics. The system provides feedback to the user about whether customizations are appropriate, and only applies settings that receive positive feedback for safety and suitability.
2Adaptability or versatility
If all customized settings are applied without restriction, then user freedom and customization range are improved, but vehicle controllability and safety may worsen
Solution Approach 1:
The control device dynamically adjusts the application of customized settings based on real-time evaluation of suitability criteria. It selectively applies only those customization parameters that maintain safe and controllable vehicle operation, while blocking or modifying parameters that would compromise controllability. This dynamic filtering approach preserves user freedom within safe boundaries.
3Adaptability or versatility
If vehicle motion characteristics are changed to match game settings, then user preference and driving experience are improved, but vehicle performance and reliability may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The control device serves as an intermediary that translates customized game settings into vehicle motion characteristics only when suitability criteria are met. It filters and validates setting information before applying it to the electric motor control, ensuring that performance reliability is maintained while still achieving the desired vehicle characteristics matching.

AI summary
A battery electric vehicle (100) includes: a driving operation member; a pseudo shifting operation member; and a control device (101) configured to control motion of the battery electric vehicle (100) with respect to an operation of the driving operation member according to an operation state of the pseudo shifting operation member. The control device (101) is configured to acquire customized setting of vehicle characteristics of a manual-transmission internal combustion engine vehicle, change setting of motion characteristics of the battery electric vehicle (100) with respect to the operation of the driving operation member and an operation of the pseudo shifting operation member based on the customized setting when the customized setting is suitable for the battery electric vehicle (100), and maintain the setting of the motion characteristics at present setting or default setting when the customized setting is not suitable for the battery electric vehicle (100).
