METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPROVED AUTOMATIC CONTROL OF ONE OR SEVERAL FUNCTIONS IN A VEHICLE
First Claim
1. A method for improved automatic control of at least one function in a terrestrial vehicle, said method comprising:
- determining (310) the position (x, y) of the vehicle with respect the ground; and
performing an evaluation by comparing (320) the position (x, y) of the vehicle with a previously stored position, wherein the previously stored position is a position at which it has been determined (321) that the automatic control has carried out a control that was outside a predetermined permitted range on a previous occasion, and in the event that the determined position of the vehicle conforms with the previously stored position, special previously stored control information is used (340) to reduce the risk of the control being again outside said predetermined permitted range.

Abstract
Method for improved automatic control of a function in a terrestrial vehicle that includes an automatic control of the function, determination of the position of the vehicle on the ground (x, y) and comparison of the position of the vehicle with one or several previously stored positions. The previously stored positions are positions in which it has been determined that the control automation has carried out a control that was outside a predetermined permitted range on previous occasions, and if the determined position of the vehicle conforms with one of the previously stored positions, special previously stored control information is used to reduce the risk of the control being outside the predetermined permitted range yet again. The invention can also include evaluation of the automatic control of one or several functions in the vehicle, and storage of positions (x, y) on the ground at which the evaluation has shown that the automatic control has carried out a measure that was outside the predetermined permitted range.

13. A system for improved automatic control of at least one function in a vehicle, said system comprising:
-
control means for automatically controlling at least one function in a vehicle;
position determination means for determining the position (x, y) of the vehicle with respect to the ground;
comparison means for comparing the position of the vehicle with a previously stored position in the system, wherein the previously stored position is a position at which the automatic control has carried out a control that was outside a predetermined permitted range on previous occasions; and
decision-making means for evaluating the position comparison, which decision-making means determines that the control means is to utilize special previously stored control information when the position of the vehicle conforms with the previously stored position. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A method for improved automatic control of one or several functions in a terrestrial vehicle, said method comprising the following:
-
automatic control of one or several functions in the vehicle;
determination (310) of the position of the vehicle on the ground (x, y); and
comparison (320) of the position of the vehicle with one or several previously stored positions, characterized in that the previously stored positions are positions where it has been determined (321) that the control automation has carried out a control that was outside a predetermined permitted range on previous occasions and if the determined position of the vehicle conforms with one of the previously stored positions, special previously stored control information is used (340) to reduce the risk of the control being outside said predetermined permitted range yet again.

23. A system for improved automatic control of one or several functions in a vehicle, said system comprising:
-
control means for automatic control of one or several functions in the vehicle;
position determination means for determination of the position of the vehicle on the ground (x, y);
comparison means for comparison of the position of the vehicle with one or several positions that have been previously stored in the system, and wherein the previously stored positions are positions where the control automation has carried out a control that was outside a predetermined permitted range on previous occasions, and in that the system comprises decision-making means for evaluating the position comparison, which decision-making means determines that the control means is to use special previously stored control information, if the position of the vehicle conforms with one of the previously stored positions.
