Driver Brake Customizing via Wireless Profile Transfer
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing brake-by-wire systems require resetting of hydraulic pressure map parameters for different drivers and vehicles, leading to inconsistent braking feelings, especially when multiple drivers use the same vehicle or when a driver switches between vehicles.
Innovation Solution
A driver brake customizing method and system that uses a wireless network to transfer and match driver braking feeling information, allowing the braking characteristics of one vehicle to be replicated on another, by converting and synchronizing map parameters across vehicles, ensuring consistent braking experiences.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If driver brake customization is implemented using hydraulic pressure map parameters, then braking feeling can be customized for individual drivers, but parameters must be reset when changing drivers or vehicles, leading to inconsistent braking experiences
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates a universal driver profile that can be applied across multiple vehicles. The driver's braking characteristics are stored in a standardized format that can be transferred to any compatible vehicle, making the customization system universally applicable rather than vehicle-specific. This allows the same driver profile to work across different vehicle models and platforms.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a digital copy of the driver's braking characteristics and transfers it to the target vehicle. By copying the driver profile data (including pedal force characteristics, stroke patterns, and preference settings) from the source vehicle to the target vehicle, the system reproduces the same braking feeling without requiring manual reconfiguration. This copying mechanism eliminates the need for repeated parameter setup when changing vehicles.
2Adaptability or versatility
If brake-by-wire system is used to enable driver customization, then direct connection between driver operation force and braking device is broken, but system complexity increases with additional sensors and control mechanisms
Solution Approach 1:
The system introduces a wireless communication intermediary (mobile device) that facilitates the transfer of driver profiles between vehicles. This intermediary handles the complex data transmission and synchronization tasks, allowing the brake-by-wire system to leverage existing communication infrastructure rather than requiring direct vehicle-to-vehicle data links. The mobile device acts as a mediator that simplifies the overall system architecture.
Solution Approach 2:
The system replaces manual mechanical parameter adjustment with automated wireless data transfer. Instead of requiring physical connection or manual configuration of hydraulic pressure map parameters, the system uses electronic communication to automatically transfer and apply driver profiles. This substitution of mechanical adjustment procedures with digital communication reduces the need for complex physical interfaces and manual intervention.
3Adaptability or versatility
If hydraulic pressure map parameters are manually adjusted for each driver, then braking feeling can be customized, but time is lost during parameter resetting when drivers change or vehicles are swapped
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary action by pre-storing driver profiles in a portable format (on mobile devices or cloud storage) before the driver needs to switch vehicles. The driver's braking characteristics are captured and saved in advance, so when the driver changes vehicles, the profile is already ready for immediate transfer and application. This eliminates the need for time-consuming on-site parameter adjustment.
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates a portable digital copy of the driver's braking profile that can be quickly transferred to any vehicle. By storing the profile data externally (on mobile devices) and enabling rapid wireless transfer, the system reproduces the driver's customized braking feeling in minutes rather than requiring lengthy manual reconfiguration. This copying approach dramatically reduces the time loss associated with driver changes.
Data Source
AI summary
An advance driver brake customizing method applied to a brake customizing system is provided to identically implement a braking feeling set according to a driver's vehicle regardless of a vehicle type by transplanting driver braking feeling information of a driver's vehicle into a braking feeling matching vehicle. A braking characteristic of a brake of a brake system, which is applied to the braking feeling matching vehicle, is directed to follow the braking characteristic of a brake of the brake system, which is applied to the braking feeling matching vehicle, through driver matching control in conjunction with a wireless network. In particular, even when the same driver changes a vehicle or a driver for the same vehicle is changed, the same braking feeling is maintained.
