Controlled vehicle deceleration based on a selected vehicle driving mode
First Claim
1. A method for controlled deceleration based on a selected vehicle driving mode, the method comprising:
- sensing a deceleration of a vehicle;
producing, in response, a plurality of deceleration control signals based on a deceleration target for the selected vehicle driving mode, wherein the selected vehicle driving mode is one of a plurality of vehicle driving modes;
transmitting at least one of the plurality of deceleration control signals to prompt the controlled deceleration of the vehicle to correspond with a deceleration target for the selected vehicle driving mode;
receiving sensor data relating to the deceleration of the vehicle;
comparing at least some of the sensor data with the deceleration target to generate a deceleration feedback signal; and
adjusting the plurality of deceleration control signals based on the deceleration feedback signal to effect the controlled deceleration.

Abstract
A device and method for a controlled deceleration based on a selected vehicle driving mode are disclosed, in which upon sensing a deceleration of a vehicle, a plurality of deceleration control signals based on a deceleration target for the selected vehicle driving mode are produced. At least one of the plurality of deceleration control signals are transmitted to prompt a controlled deceleration of the vehicle to correspond with a deceleration target for the selected vehicle driving mode. The method receives sensor data relating to the deceleration of the vehicle, and compares at least some of the sensor data with the deceleration target to generate a deceleration feedback signal. The method provides for adjusting the plurality of deceleration control signals based on the deceleration feedback signal to effect the controlled deceleration.
