Abstract
A method performed by a vehicle system for handling conditions of a road on which a vehicle travels. The vehicle system detect that a first part of the road has a first condition which is different from a second condition of a second part of the road. The vehicle system estimates friction of the first part and evaluates the estimated friction. The vehicle system determines that the vehicle's motion should be adjusted when a result of the evaluation indicates that the estimated friction of the first part of the road affects the vehicle's expected motion, and initiates adjustment of the vehicle's motion on the road as determined.
Claims15
A method performed by a vehicle system for handling conditions of a road on which a vehicle travels, the method comprising:
- detecting that a first part of the road has a first condition which is different from a second condition of a second part of the road;
- estimating friction of the first part;
- evaluating the estimated friction;
- determining that the vehicle's motion should be adjusted when a result of the evaluation indicates that the estimated friction of the first part of the road affects the vehicle's expected motion;
- and
- initiating adjustment of the vehicle's motion on the road as determined.
