Abstract
A method is provided for controlling movement of a first vehicle component relative to a second vehicle component, including the steps of determining a deceleration rate of the first vehicle component in order to achieve a predetermined final speed at a final position, determining a starting position for initiating the deceleration on the basis of the predetermined final speed, the final position and the determined deceleration rate and controlling deceleration of the component from the starting position to the final position according to the determined acceleration rate.
Claims23
A method for controlling a movement of a first vehicle component relative to a connected second vehicle component, comprising
- determining, using a control unit, an acceleration rate of the first vehicle component relative to the second vehicle component required in order to achieve, relative to a starting speed at a starting position of the first vehicle component relative to the second vehicle component, an increased, predetermined final speed at a final position of the first vehicle component relative to the second vehicle component, and
- controlling acceleration of the first vehicle component relative to the second vehicle component from the starting position to the final position according to the determined acceleration rate.
A method for controlling movement of a first vehicle component relative to a connected second vehicle component, comprising
- determining, using a control unit, an accepted force level on the second vehicle component, the accepted force being a force resulting from an acceleration movement of the first vehicle component relative to the second vehicle component,
- determining a magnitude of an acceleration rate of the first vehicle component relative to the second vehicle component such that the accepted force level on the first vehicle component is not exceeded, and
- controlling acceleration of the first vehicle component relative to the second vehicle component according to the determined acceleration.
