Abstract
A method for adjusting a controller of a transportation vehicle includes receiving transportation vehicle state information and information about a current value of at least one variable controller parameter of the controller, calculating a setpoint value for the variable controller parameter, and outputting the setpoint value for the variable controller parameter. The calculating the setpoint value includes using an artificial neural network based on the transportation vehicle state information and the information about the current value of the variable controller parameter.
Claims13
A method for adjusting a controller of a transportation vehicle, comprising:
- receiving transportation vehicle state information and information about a current value of at least one variable controller parameter of the controller;
- calculating a setpoint value for the at least one variable controller parameter using an artificial neural network based on the transportation vehicle state information and the information about the current value of the at least one variable controller parameter, the calculation further including (i) checking whether the calculated setpoint value for the at least one variable controller parameter is within a specified allowed range of values for the at least one variable controller parameter and (ii) changing the calculated setpoint value to a value within the allowed range of values in response to the calculated setpoint value for the at least one variable controller parameter not being included in the range of values;
- and
- outputting the setpoint value for the at least one variable controller parameter,
- wherein the controller is configured to adjust the at least one variable controller parameter in order to control a vehicle system of the transportation vehicle, and
- wherein the value within the allowed range of values is within a minimum difference from the calculated setpoint value for the at least one variable controller parameter.
A device for adjusting a controller of a transportation vehicle, comprising:
- a first interface that receives transportation vehicle state information and information about a current value of at least one variable controller parameter of the controller, the controller configured to output at least the information about the current value of the at least one variable controller parameter in order to control a vehicle system of the transportation vehicle;
- a processor unit that calculates a setpoint value for the at least one variable controller parameter based on the transportation vehicle state information and the information about the current value of the at least one variable controller parameter using an artificial neural network, the processor unit further configured to (i) check whether the calculated setpoint value for the at least one variable controller parameter is included in a specified allowed range of values for the at least one variable controller parameter and (ii) change the calculated setpoint value to a value within the allowed range of values in response to the calculated setpoint value for the at least one variable controller parameter not being included in the range of values;
- and
- a second interface that outputs the setpoint value for the at least one variable controller parameter,
- wherein the value within the allowed range of values is within a minimum difference from the calculated setpoint value for the at least one variable controller parameter.
