1. A method of force command update rate detection comprising:
- receiving, by an electrical brake actuation controller, a brake actuation instruction from a brake and steering control unit, wherein the electrical brake actuation controller comprises a force command update rate detector comprising a variation detector and a similarity detector;
determining, by the force command update rate detector, an update rate of the brake actuation instruction, wherein the determining comprises;
collecting samples, by the variation detector, of the brake actuation instruction,wherein a number of samples is equal to a dissimilarity window;
determining, by the variation detector, variations between pairs of samples of the brake actuation instruction in response to the collecting samples;
counting, by the variation detector, a number of variations;
computing the update rate of the brake actuation instruction in response to the counting; and
outputting an update rate determination in response to the computing; and
transmitting, by the electrical brake actuation controller, an instruction comprising a force command having a force command update rate to an electric brake actuator in response to the determining.

Abstract
The present disclosure relates to rate detection components, and more particularly, to a rate detection system that determines the update rate of commands. The update rate of the commands may be determined in response to the incidence of similarities and differences among samples of the commands.

15. A force command update rate detector comprising:
-
a variation detector in logical communication with a signal input; and a similarity detector in logical communication with the signal input and connected in parallel with the variation detector, wherein the variation detector provides an output command indication comprising a first indication in response to the signal input receiving a first signal having a first update rate, and wherein the similarity detector provides the output command indication comprising a second indication in response to the signal input receiving a second signal having a second update rate. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
