Adaptive vehicle control system with driving style recognition based on vehicle U-turn maneuvers
First Claim
1. A method for identifying whether a vehicle maneuver is a U-turn maneuver, said method comprising:
- reading a vehicle speed signal and a vehicle yaw rate signal from vehicle sensors;
determining that the vehicle has started a turn if the yaw rate signal is greater than a first yaw rate threshold;
determining a vehicle heading angle based on the yaw rate signal and a sampling time if the vehicle has started a turn;
determining that the vehicle maneuver has been completed if the yaw rate signal is less than a second yaw rate threshold; and
determining that the completed maneuver was a U-turn maneuver if the vehicle yaw rate signal is less than a third yaw rate threshold during the maneuver, the vehicle heading angle is within a heading angle range and the duration of the maneuver is less than a predetermined time threshold.

Abstract
An adaptive vehicle control system that classifies a driver'"'"'s driving style based on vehicle U-turn maneuvers. A process determines if the vehicle has started a turn if the yaw rate is greater than a first yaw rate threshold, and determines a vehicle heading angle based on the yaw rate and a sampling time if the vehicle has started a turn. The process then determines whether the vehicle maneuver has been completed by determining if the yaw rate is less than a second yaw rate threshold. The process then determines that the completed maneuver was a U-turn maneuver if the yaw rate is less than a third yaw rate threshold during the maneuver, the final vehicle heading angle is within a heading angle range and the duration of the maneuver is less than a predetermined time threshold. In one non-limiting embodiment, the heading angle range is between 165° and 195°.

14. A method for identifying whether a vehicle maneuver is a U-turn maneuver, said method comprising:
-
reading a vehicle speed signal and a vehicle yaw rate signal from vehicle sensors; determining that the vehicle has started a turn if the yaw rate signal is greater than a first yaw rate threshold; determining a vehicle heading angle based on the yaw rate signal and a sampling time if the vehicle has started a turn; determining that the vehicle maneuver has been completed if the yaw rate signal is less than a second yaw rate threshold; updating the heading angle if the vehicle is still in the maneuver because the yaw rate signal is not less than the second yaw rate threshold; determining that the completed maneuver was a U-turn maneuver if the vehicle yaw rate signal is less than a third yaw rate threshold during the maneuver, the vehicle heading angle is within a heading angle range and the duration of the maneuver is less than a predetermined time threshold; and classifying the U-turn maneuver to determine a driver'"'"'s driving style using selected discriminant features derived or obtained from the U-turn maneuver. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)
