Abstract
A method for determining driving characteristics of a vehicle. To provide an enhanced method to determine from a driving characteristics of the vehicle a long term mechanical stress of a vehicle, it is proposed that during operation of the vehicle an acceleration of the vehicle is detected by an acceleration sensor in the vehicle and evaluated by a vehicle analyzing system in the vehicle, wherein a driving parameter occurring during an acceleration event in which the vehicle acceleration is above a predetermined threshold is used to determine a driving characteristics value of the vehicle.
Claims15
A method for determining driving characteristics of a vehicle, wherein during operation of the vehicle an acceleration of the vehicle is detected by an acceleration sensor in the vehicle, wherein a driving parameter occurring during an acceleration event in which the vehicle acceleration is above a predetermined threshold is used to determine a driving characteristics value of the vehicle, wherein the driving characteristics value is derived from driving parameter values of a plurality of acceleration events during a driving event.
A vehicle analyzing system comprising an acceleration sensor, a communication unit prepared for sending data to a remote server, an acceleration monitoring unit for monitoring the acceleration of the vehicle and an evaluation unit to determine a driving parameter of the vehicle occurring during an acceleration event in which the vehicle acceleration is above a predetermined threshold, wherein said evaluation unit is configured to derive a driving characteristics value from driving parameter values of a plurality of acceleration events during a driving event.
