Apparatus and method for determining short-term driving tendency of driver
First Claim
1. An apparatus for controlling operation of a vehicle, comprising:
- a data detector configured to detect data including an acceleration of the vehicle, a vehicle speed, and an inter-vehicle distance; and
a controller configured to determine a relative speed with respect to a forward vehicle from the vehicle speed and the inter-vehicle distance, extract fuzzy result values for the vehicle speed and the inter-vehicle distance, respectively, by setting a membership function that corresponds to each of the acceleration of the vehicle and the relative speed with respect to the forward vehicle, and determine a short-term driving tendency of the driver using the fuzzy result values, and control an engine or shifting of a transmission based on the short-term driving tendency,wherein the controller does not determine the short-term driving tendency when the data shows that a condition of a road is a predetermined road state or road shape.

Abstract
An apparatus and a method for determining a short-term driving tendency of a driver may include a data detector configured to detect an acceleration of a vehicle, a vehicle speed, and an inter-vehicle distance, and a controller configured to calculate a relative speed with respect to a forward vehicle from the vehicle speed and the inter-vehicle distance, extract fuzzy result values for the vehicle speed and the inter-vehicle distance, respectively, by setting a membership function that corresponds to each of the acceleration of the vehicle and the relative speed with respect to the forward vehicle, and determine the short-term driving tendency of the driver using the fuzzy result values.

9. A method for controlling operation of a vehicle, comprising:
-
detecting, by a controller, acceleration of the vehicle, vehicle speed, and inter-vehicle distance; determining, by the controller, a relative speed with respect to a forward vehicle from the vehicle speed and the inter-vehicle distance; setting, by the controller, a membership function that corresponds to each of the acceleration of the vehicle and the relative speed with respect to the forward vehicle; extracting, by the controller, fuzzy result values for the vehicle speed and the inter-vehicle distance, respectively; determining, by the controller, a short-term driving tendency of the driver using the fuzzy result values; and controlling, by the controller, an engine or shifting of a transmission based on the short-term driving tendency. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
