METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ASSESSMENT OF BEHAVIOUR OF DRIVER'S BRAKING Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B60W50/08 

FIELD: instrumentation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an assessment method of behaviour of driver's braking. At implementation of the method it is determined when a braking cycle will start. Time t_engbrake when an engine brake of a vehicle is used during the braking cycle is determined. Time t_shift spent on operation of a transmission during the braking cycle is determined. It is determined when the braking cycle ends. Total time t_total is determined for the above braking cycle. Values t_total and t_engbrake are processed with regard to t_shift according to pre-defined rules. BA braking assessment values are calculated based on processed values for t_engbrake and t_total. With that, the rules require that in case t_shift is higher than t_shiftmax that is adjustable maximum allowable time for change of transmission, then t_total can be processed based on the fact that t_total = t_total+t_sample, where t_sample is a pre-determined period of time, and the calculated BA braking assessment value is provided to the driver. Besides, a driver's braking behaviour assessment system is proposed.

EFFECT: achieving encouragement of a driver to drive so that wear and fuel consumption can be minimised.
