Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Untersuchen einer für das Auslösen einer passiven Sicherheitseinrichtung in einem Fahrzeug maßgeblichen Fahrzeuglängsbewegung. The invention relates to a method for examining one for triggering one passive safety device in a vehicle Vehicle longitudinal movement.
Bei Sicherheitssystemen in Kraftfahrzeugen, bei denen passive Sicherheitseinrichtungen, wie Airbags, Gurtstraffer, Überrollbügel und dergleichen im Falle eines gefährlichen Unfalls (i. f. auch als Crash bezeichnet), insbesondere eines gefährlichen Aufpralls, ausgelöst werden, um die im Fahrzeug befindlichen Personen soweit wie möglich vor Verletzungen zu schützen, ist es erforderlich, die einzelnen Sicherheitseinrichtungen jeweils zu einem optimalen Zeitpunkt auszulösen. Eine Voraussetzung dafür ist das einwandfreie Erkennen eines Unfalls (Crashs) hinsichtlich Crashart und des voraussichtlichen Crashverlaufs. Dabei sind Informationen über die Orientierung und/oder die Art eines Hindernisses von besonderem Interesse. Ein Maß für die Orientierung ist der Aufprallwinkel des Fahrzeugs, die Art des Hindernisses wird auch mit den Begriffen Offset und Starrheit/Nachgiebigkeit umschrieben. In security systems in motor vehicles, where passive Safety devices, such as airbags, belt tensioners, roll bars and the like in the event of a dangerous accident (also known as a crash), especially a dangerous one Impacts are triggered as far as the people in the vehicle possible to protect from injury, it is necessary to protect the individual Trigger safety devices at an optimal time. A The prerequisite for this is the correct detection of an accident (crash) with regard to Crashart and the expected course of the crash. There is information about the Orientation and / or the nature of an obstacle of particular interest. A measure the orientation is the impact angle of the vehicle, the type of obstacle is also described with the terms offset and rigidity / compliance.
Der hierfür vorgesehene Algorithmus, der die Ausgangssignale eines Crashsensors auswertet, muss diese Informationen über einen Crash zu einem sehr frühen Zeitpunkt, bezogen auf den Crashbeginn, liefern. Ein Crash gegen ein starres Hindernis mit hoher Geschwindigkeit erfordert in der Regel einen extrem frühen Zündzeitpunkt, meistens kleiner als 10 ms. Die Anzahl an Informationen, die bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt vorliegen, sind aber sehr gering und in der Regel mit Unsicherheiten behaftet. The algorithm provided for this purpose, the output signals of a crash sensor Evaluates this information about a crash at a very early stage Deliver the time, based on the start of the crash. A crash against a rigid obstacle at high speed usually requires an extremely early one Ignition point, usually less than 10 ms. The number of information up to this At the moment, they are very small and usually with uncertainties afflicted.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, ein Verfahren zum Untersuchen einer für das Auslösen einer passiven Sicherheitseinrichtung in einem Fahrzeug entscheidenden Fahrzeuglängsbewegung zu schaffen, das zuverlässig ist und das in einem frühen Stadium eine eindeutige Erkennung der genannten Crasheigenschaften ermöglicht. The invention is based on the object of a method for examining a for triggering a passive safety device in a vehicle crucial vehicle longitudinal movement that is reliable and in an early recognition of the above Crash properties enabled.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale des Anspruchs 1 gelöst. This object is solved by the features of claim 1.
Die Zuverlässigkeit der Aussage über den Crash wird durch die Verwendung zweier Bewegungssensoren erreicht. Nur wenn beide Sensoren ein für eine anormale Bewegung repräsentatives Signal liefern, liegt tatsächlich ein Crash vor. Durch die bezüglich der Fahrzeuglängsachse symmetrische Anordnung der Sensoren und den zeitrichtigen Vergleich der beiden Signale lässt sich eine Aussage über die Orientierung und/oder Art eines Hindernisses ableiten. The reliability of the statement about the crash is determined by using two Motion sensors reached. Only if both sensors are one for an abnormal one If the movement provides a representative signal, there is actually a crash. Through the symmetrical arrangement of the sensors and the timely comparison of the two signals can be a statement about the Derive orientation and / or type of obstacle.
Die beiden Sensoren können beispielsweise auf die Fahrbahn ausgerichtet sein und die Geschwindigkeit über Grund bestimmen. Demgegenüber sind Aussagen über die Geschwindigkeitsänderung der jeweiligen Sensor-Orte, die mit geeigneten Sensoren gewonnen werden, gerade bei einem Crash wesentlich zuverlässig und liefern die erforderlichen Aussagen auch wesentlich schneller. The two sensors can, for example, be aligned with the road and determine the speed over ground. In contrast are statements about the change in speed of the respective sensor locations with suitable Sensors can be obtained, especially in the event of a crash, and deliver significantly the necessary statements also much faster.
Sind die Sensoren Beschleunigungssensoren und wird die Aussage aus dem über die währenddessen gebildeten Zeit-Integral der Geschwindigkeitsänderung abgeleitet wird, bieten sich weitere Vorteile. Durch die Integral- bzw. gleichwertige Summenbildung der Beschleunigungswerte wird die Zuverlässigkeit der Aussage über das Bewegungsverhalten der beiden Sensoren bzw. ihrer Sensor-Orte erhöht, da stets mehrere Beschleunigungswerte berücksichtigt werden und der Fehler eines Wertes nicht maßgeblich ins Gewicht fällt. Durch die Erhöhung der Zuverlässigkeit in der Aussage der beiden Sensoren für sich wird die Zuverlässigkeit der Gesamtaussage noch mehr erhöht. Are the sensors acceleration sensors and the statement is made from the the time integral of the speed change formed in the meantime derived, there are other advantages. Through the integral or equivalent Totaling the acceleration values is the reliability of the statement the movement behavior of the two sensors or their sensor locations increases because Several acceleration values are always taken into account and the error of one Value is not significant. By increasing reliability in the statement of the two sensors, the reliability of the Overall statement increased even more.
Bei einem Frontalcrash gegen eine starre Barriere zeigen die beiden Sensoren im Idealfall identische Signalverläufe. Die Differenz der Signale ist konstant Null. In the event of a frontal crash against a rigid barrier, the two sensors in the Ideally, identical signal profiles. The difference between the signals is constantly zero.
Bei einem Offst-Crash hingegen liefert zunächst nur der Sensor, auf dessen Seite sich das Hindernis befindet, ein Signal, das für einen Crash symptomatisch ist, während der andere Sensor zeitlich verzögert reagiert. Der zeitrichtige Vergleich der beiden Signale ist typisch für diese Crashart. Messen die den beiden Sensoren die am Sensor-Ort auftretenden Beschleunigungen und werden durch doppelte Zeitintegration die dabei zurückgelegten Wege und damit die abgebauten Bewegungsenergien bestimmt, zeigt der zeitrichtige Vergleich eine zeitlich zunehmende Differenz der Weg-/Energiedifferenzen. Bei Auftreffen des Fahrzeugs auf eine deformierbare Barriere wiederum ist diese Differenz typisch für diese Crashart. In the case of an offst crash, on the other hand, only the sensor delivers on its side there is the obstacle, a signal that is symptomatic of a crash, while the other sensor responds with a time delay. The timely comparison of the Both signals are typical for this type of crash. Measure the two sensors Accelerations occurring at the sensor location and are doubled Time integration the distances covered and thus the distances covered Determined kinetic energies, the timely comparison shows an increasing time Difference in path / energy differences. When the vehicle hits a deformable barrier in turn, this difference is typical of this type of crash.
Eine optimale Aussage über den Crash ergibt sich, wenn die Sensorsignale für sich untersucht und beispielsweise eine Aussage über die individuelle Weg-/bzw. Energiedifferenz gewonnen wird und wenn zusätzlich erfindungsgemäß der Vergleich der Sensorsignale bzw. der daraus abgeleiteten Größen (z. B. Weg-/änderung, Energie-/-änderung) vorgenommen wird. An optimal statement about the crash results when the sensor signals are in isolation examined and, for example, a statement about the individual way or. Energy difference is obtained and if the comparison according to the invention the sensor signals and the quantities derived from them (e.g. path / change, Energy / change).
Damit lassen sich mit zwei symmetrisch angeordneten Sensoren alle für ein Crashgeschehen wesentlichen Informationen wie Crashbeginn, Crashart (Offset, Aufprallwinkel) und Aufprallgeschwindigkeit bestimmen sowie daraus Aussagen auch über den voraussichtlichen Verlauf des Crashs gewinnen. So with two symmetrically arranged sensors, all for one Crash events essential information such as crash start, crash type (offset, Impact angle) and impact speed, as well as statements from it win over the likely course of the crash.
Somit ergibt sich insgesamt ein Verfahren, das schnell, zuverlässig und rechtzeitig vor dem Aktivieren von passiven Sicherheitseinrichtungen die hierfür erforderlichen Informationen liefert. This results in an overall process that is quick, reliable and timely the necessary for this before activating passive safety devices Provides information.
