Title:
DEVICE AND METHOD OF DETERMINING VEHICLE CONDITIONS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/100760
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A vehicle condition determining device has a wheel speed sensor provided to a vehicle and detecting wheel speed, a shift position sensor for detecting the position of a shift lever, an acceleration sensor for detecting the acceleration of the vehicle, and a determining section for determining conditions of the vehicle based on values detected by the wheel speed sensor, the shift position sensor, and the acceleration sensor. The determining section determines that the direction of movement of the vehicle has been changed if the determining section detects that the shift lever has been switched from a position other than a forward position to the forward position or has been switched from a position other than a reverse position to the reverse position, that the wheel speed is higher than or equal to a first reference speed, and that the wheel speed has reached a level lower than or equal to a second reference speed before the wheel speed is detected.
