Title:
ROAD SURFACE GRADIENT DETECTOR
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2001356014
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide a road surface gradient detector capable of always accurately detecting a road surface gradient by excluding an influence of a centrifugal acceleration operating during turning of a vehicle.
The road surface gradient detector comprises a lateral G detecting means 4 for detecting a G of a lateral direction of te vehicle. The detector calculates a centrifugal acceleration αs operating at a longitudinal G detecting means 3 during turning of the vehicle on the basis of an output αss of the means 4 and corrects an output αss of the means 3 with the obtained acceleration αs to calculate the road surface gradient.
