US 10,882,523 B2 · Motorcycle adaptive cruise control target tracking

Abstract

A system for providing adaptive cruise control in a motorcycle. The system includes an electronic controller configured to determine the presence of a vehicle on one side of a direct path of travel of the motorcycle based on data received from a transceiver, the vehicle within a field of view of the transceiver. The electronic controller locks the motorcycle with the vehicle and dynamically controls the speed of the motorcycle based on an output of a kinematic controller, wherein the kinematic controller configured to receive an input including at least one of an item selected from the group consisting of distance of the motorcycle to the vehicle, velocity of the vehicle, velocity of the motorcycle, a cruise set speed associated with the motorcycle, a desired separation distance between the motorcycle and the vehicle, and a desired separation time between the motorcycle and the vehicle.

Dependent claims

A system for providing adaptive cruise control in a motorcycle, the system comprising:

an electronic controller coupled to a transceiver, the electronic controller including an electronic processor configured to
select, as a target vehicle for the adaptive cruise control, a first vehicle detected on one side of a direct path of travel of the motorcycle based on data received from a transceiver, the first vehicle within a field of view of the transceiver;
and
control, via the adaptive cruise control, the speed of the motorcycle dynamically based on an output of a first kinematic controller, wherein the first kinematic controller is configured to receive a first input including at least one of an item selected from the group consisting of distance of the motorcycle to the target vehicle, velocity of the target vehicle, velocity of the motorcycle, a cruise set speed associated with the motorcycle, a desired separation distance between the motorcycle and the target vehicle, and a desired separation time between the motorcycle and the target vehicle.

1 more element

A method of providing adaptive cruise control for a motorcycle, the method comprising:

selecting, with an electronic processor as a target vehicle for the adaptive cruise control, a first vehicle detected on one side of a path of travel of the motorcycle, the first vehicle within a field of view of the transceiver;
and
dynamically controlling via the adaptive cruise control, with the electronic processor, the speed of the motorcycle based on an item selected from the group consisting of distance of the motorcycle to the target vehicle, velocity of the target vehicle, velocity of the motorcycle, a cruise set speed associated with the motorcycle, a desired separation distance between the motorcycle and the target vehicle, and a desired separation time between the motorcycle and the target vehicle.

A non-transitory, machine-readable medium containing computer-executable instructions that when executed by one or more electronic processors cause the one or more electronic processors to perform a set of functions, the set of functions comprising:

selecting, as a target vehicle for the adaptive cruise control, a first vehicle detected on one side of a path of travel of the motorcycle;
and
dynamically controlling, via the adaptive cruise control, the speed of the motorcycle based on an item selected from the group consisting of distance of the motorcycle to the target vehicle, velocity of the target vehicle, velocity of the motorcycle, a cruise set speed associated with the motorcycle, a desired separation distance between the motorcycle and the target vehicle, and a desired separation time between the motorcycle and the target vehicle.
