Vehicle Control Reset by Selective Voltage Fault Isolation

The patent segments the system components into multiple groups, each associated with specific reset signals. Instead of deactivating all components uniformly, the system can selectively deactivate only the affected segments based on which voltage error is detected, thereby reducing unnecessary energy consumption while maintaining safety.

The patent implements partial deactivation by generating different reset signals for different voltage errors. When a voltage error is detected, only the specific component or subsystem affected by that error is deactivated, rather than deactivating the entire system, thus optimizing energy usage during autonomous operation.

By segmenting system components and associating them with specific reset signals, the patent enables selective deactivation. This allows the system to maintain autonomous operation of unaffected components while isolating only the problematic segments, thereby extending overall autonomy duration without compromising safety.

The patent applies partial deactivation strategy where only the specific component or subsystem experiencing voltage errors is reset, while other components continue operating autonomously. This partial action approach extends the duration of autonomous operation compared to complete system shutdown.

The patent segments system components and their associated power requirements. By enabling selective deactivation of only affected components during voltage errors, the system reduces the total energy reserve capacity needed, thereby lowering capacitor size and manufacturing costs while maintaining required availability during crash scenarios.

The patent changes the operational parameters by implementing selective component deactivation rather than uniform system shutdown. This parameter change optimizes energy consumption patterns, allowing smaller energy reserve capacitors to achieve the same availability targets, thus reducing system costs.
