Abstract
The invention relates to a method for determining a roadway state (STATE) of a roadway on which a vehicle (10) is travelling which has at least one wheel (14) and an acceleration sensor (24) which is assigned to the wheel (14) in order to determine a vertical component of an acceleration of the wheel (14), in which method—a characteristic value which is representative of the roadway state (STATE) is determined as a function of a measured signal (AC_VERT) of the acceleration sensor (18).
Claims15
A method for determining a roadway state of a roadway on which a vehicle is traveling which has at least one wheel and an acceleration sensor that is assigned to the wheel in order to determine a vertical component of an acceleration of the wheel, the method comprising the step of:
- determining a characteristic value, which is representative of the roadway state, as a function of a measured signal of the acceleration sensor.
A device for determining a roadway state of a roadway on which a vehicle is traveling which has at least one wheel and an acceleration sensor that is assigned to the wheel in order to determine a vertical component of an acceleration of the wheel, comprising an evaluation unit which is operable to
- determine a characteristic value, which is representative of the roadway state as a function of a measured signal of the acceleration sensor.
A vehicle comprising:
- at least one wheel and an acceleration sensor that is assigned to the wheel in order to determine a vertical component of an acceleration of the wheel;
- an evaluation unit for determining a roadway state of a roadway on which a vehicle is traveling, the evaluation unit being operable to determine a characteristic value, which is representative of the roadway state as a function of a measured signal of the acceleration sensor.
