Abstract
A computer implemented method controls vehicle operation. The vehicle has vehicle components operable by processing circuitry based on predicted user behavior. The method includes receiving, by the processing circuitry, a signal indicative of a current user behavior for a user currently operating the vehicle; comparing, by the processing circuitry, the current user behavior with a predicted user behavior. When a difference between the current user behavior and the predicted user behavior is above a predetermined threshold limit: new user behavior based on the current user behavior is formed and operation of at least one of the vehicle components is controlled using the new user behavior.
Claims13
A computer implemented method of controlling a vehicle operation of a vehicle, the vehicle comprising vehicle components operable by processing circuitry based on predicted user behavior,
- the method comprising:
- receiving, by the processing circuitry, a signal indicative of a current user behavior for a user currently operating the vehicle;
- comparing, by the processing circuitry, the current user behavior with a predicted user behavior;
- and when a difference between the current user behavior and the predicted user behavior is above a predetermined threshold limit:
- removing, by the processing circuitry, historical data relating to the predicted user behavior;
- forming, by the processing circuitry, new user behavior based on the current user behavior;
- and
- controlling, by the processing circuitry, operation of at least one of the vehicle components using the new user behavior.
A vehicle control system for controlling a vehicle operation, the vehicle control system comprising a control unit comprising processing circuitry configured to control operation of at least one vehicle component, the processing circuitry being configured:
- receive a signal indicative of a current user behavior for a user currently operating the vehicle;
- compare the current user behavior with a predicted user behavior;
- and when a difference between the current user behavior and the predicted user behavior is above a predetermined threshold limit:
- remove historical data relating to the predicted user behavior;
- form new user behavior based on the current user behavior;
- and
- control operation of the at least one vehicle component using the new user behavior.
