Abstract
A computer-implemented method for damping a vehicle, including: receiving external load data for the vehicle; receiving at least one damper velocity of a damper of the vehicle; providing an optimization model configured to describe a relation between external load data for a vehicle, at least one damper velocity of a damper of a vehicle, and at least one damper force of the at least one damper; determining at least one damper force of the damper for the vehicle by inputting the external load data and the at least one damper velocity into the optimization model; and providing the at least one damper force of the at least one damper of the vehicle.
Claims14
A computer-implemented method for damping a vehicle, comprising:
- receiving external load data for the vehicle, wherein the external load data relates to a load request for the vehicle;
- receiving at least one damper velocity of a damper of the vehicle;
- providing an optimization model configured to describe a relation between external load data relating to a load request for a vehicle, at least one damper velocity of a damper of a vehicle, and at least one damper force of the at least one damper;
- determining at least one damper force of the damper for the vehicle by inputting the external load data and the at least one damper velocity into the optimization model, comprising a calculation of at least one force ratio of the at least one damper force and the maximum available damper force of the at least one damper;
- wherein the optimization model calculates a distribution of one or more damper forces in order to balance the external load data, taking the maximum available damper force into account;
- and
- providing the at least one damper force of the at least one damper of the vehicle.
A device for damping a vehicle, comprising:
- a first receiving unit configured to receive external load data for the vehicle, wherein the external load data relates to a load request for the vehicle;
- a second receiving unit configured to receive at least one damper velocity of a damper of the vehicle;
- a first providing unit configured to provide an optimization model configured to describe a relation between a target load for vehicle, at least one damper velocity of a damper of a vehicle, and at least one damper force of the at least one damper;
- a determining unit configured to determine at least one damper force of the damper for the vehicle by inputting the external load data and the at least one damper velocity into the optimization model, comprising a calculation of at least one force ratio of the at least one damper force and the maximum available damper force of the at least one damper;
- wherein the optimization model calculates a distribution of one or more damper forces in order to balance the external load data, taking the maximum available damper force into account;
- and
- a second providing unit configured to provide the at least one damper force of the at least one damper of the vehicle.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions for damping a vehicle stored in a memory and executed by a processor to carry out steps comprising:
- receiving external load data for the vehicle, wherein the external load data relates to a load request for the vehicle;
- receiving at least one damper velocity of a damper of the vehicle;
- providing an optimization model configured to describe a relation between external load data relating to a load request for a vehicle, at least one damper velocity of a damper of a vehicle, and at least one damper force of the at least one damper;
- determining at least one damper force of the damper for the vehicle by inputting the external load data and the at least one damper velocity into the optimization model, comprising a calculation of at least one force ratio of the at least one damper force and the maximum available damper force of the at least one damper;
- wherein the optimization model calculates a distribution of one or more damper forces in order to balance the external load data, taking the maximum available damper force into account;
- and
- providing the at least one damper force of the at least one damper of the vehicle.
