Abstract
A method and an arrangement are provided for detecting the measurement quantity in a vehicle, which is characterized by at least one extreme value. The measurement quantity is evaluated for the control in combination with a vehicle while considering the extreme value. This extreme value is adapted. The adaptation is only enabled under pregiven conditions. When these conditions are present, the method and arrangement proceed on the premise of a measurement quantity which is uninfluenced by factors which make this measurement quantity incorrect.
Claims18
A method for detecting a measurement quantity in a motor vehicle, the measurement quantity having an extreme value, the method comprising the steps of:
- detecting said measurement quantity;
- evaluating said measurement quantity while considering said extreme value for control in combination with the vehicle;
- enabling an adaptation of said extreme value only under pregiven conditions which, when present, virtually ensure that said measurement quantity is unaffected by factors which make said measurement quantity incorrect;
- and,
- adapting said extreme value.
An arrangement for detecting a measurement quantity in a motor vehicle which has at least one extreme value, the arrangement comprising:
- a control apparatus including:
- an input circuit for detecting the measurement quantity;
- and, an output circuit for outputting actuating signals for controlling the vehicle;
- said control apparatus further including a computer unit which functions to evaluate the detected measurement quantity for forming the actuating signals while considering the extreme value of the measurement quantity;
- and,
- said computer unit having at least one program which enables an adaptation of the extreme value only under pregiven conditions which, when present, virtually ensures that said measurement quantity is unaffected by factors which make said measurement quantity incorrect.
