Abstract
A demand is identified based on input from a vehicle operator. Data is received providing a history of vehicle velocities. An estimated reference velocity is generated based at least on the velocity data. A final demand is generated based at least in part on a reference velocity indicated by the velocity control signal and the estimated reference velocity.
Claims20
A system, comprising a computing device that includes a processor and a memory, the memory storing instructions executable by the processor such that the computing device is programmed to:
- receive a velocity control signal based on a driver demand;
- receive data providing a history of vehicle velocities;
- generate an estimated reference velocity based at least on the velocity data;
- and
- generate a final demand based at least in part on a reference velocity indicated by the velocity control signal and the estimated reference velocity.
A method, comprising:
- receive a velocity control signal based on a driver demand;
- receive data providing a history of vehicle velocities;
- generate an estimated reference velocity based at least on the velocity data;
- and
- generate a final demand based at least in part on a reference velocity indicated by the velocity control signal and the estimated reference velocity.
