Abstract
To provide an enhanced method to determine from a driving characteristics of the vehicle a long term mechanical stress of a vehicle, it is proposed that during operation of the vehicle an acceleration of the vehicle is detected by an acceleration sensor in the vehicle and evaluated by a vehicle analyzing system in the vehicle, wherein a driving parameter occurring during an acceleration event in which the vehicle acceleration is above a predetermined threshold is used to determine a driving characteristics value of the vehicle.
Claims16
A method for determining driving characteristics of a vehicle, wherein during operation of the vehicle an acceleration of the vehicle is detected by an acceleration sensor in the vehicle and evaluated by a vehicle analyzing system in the vehicle, wherein a driving parameter occurring during an acceleration event in which the vehicle acceleration is above a predetermined threshold is used to determine a driving characteristics value of the vehicle, wherein the vehicle analyzing system determines the driving parameter from a sequence of two opposite acceleration events during both of which the acceleration is above a predetermined threshold.
A vehicle analyzing system for a vehicle, comprising:
- an acceleration sensor, a communication unit configured for sending data to a remote server, an acceleration monitoring unit for monitoring an acceleration of the vehicle and an evaluation unit to determine a driving parameter of the vehicle occurring during an acceleration event in which the vehicle acceleration lies above a predetermined threshold.
