Abstract
A method for an emergency response in the event of a loss of tire pressure of a transportation vehicle including detecting a tire pressure at a wheel of the transportation vehicle and detecting an angle of inclination on an axle of the transportation vehicle associated with the wheel, A transportation vehicle for autonomous driving.
Claims16
A transportation vehicle comprising:
- a tire pressure sensor configured to detect a tire pressure of a wheel of the transportation vehicle;
- an inclination sensor configured to detect an angle of inclination on an axle of the transportation vehicle associated with the wheel;
- and
- a control unit configured to perform a method for an emergency response to a loss of tire pressure of the transportation vehicle that includes detecting tire pressure of a wheel of the transportation vehicle, detecting an angle of inclination of the axle of the transportation vehicle associated with the wheel, detecting an emergency situation based on a correlation of the tire pressure and the angle of inclination of the axle, and determining an emergency braking maneuver of the transportation vehicle to be performed automatically by the transportation vehicle based on the emergency situation,
- wherein the transportation vehicle is designed for autonomous driving, the control unit further configured to automatically perform the emergency braking maneuver, and
- wherein the correlation comprises the angle of inclination exceeds a predefined angle and the tire pressure is below a predefined tire pressure.
