Title:
ACCELERATION DETECTOR AND ACCELERATION DETECTION METHOD
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2023016630
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
To provide an acceleration detector capable of precisely detecting a mounting angle of an acceleration sensor.SOLUTION: The acceleration detector includes an acceleration sensor 20 with at least an sx-axis and an sy-axis that are orthogonal to each other in which the acceleration sensor 20 is placed on a vehicle so that the yaw mounting angle, which is the angle between the vehicle reference axis and the virtual line set between the sx-axis and the sy-axis, is ±15 degrees or less. The acceleration detector includes: an acquisition unit 31 that acquires the sx-axis acceleration and the sy-axis acceleration from the acceleration sensor 20 under the condition that the vehicle is subjected to acceleration in the width direction of the vehicle and low acceleration/deceleration in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle; a mounting angle calculation unit 37 calculates the yaw mounting angle from the obtained acceleration in the sx-axis direction and the acceleration in the sy-axis direction from an angle calculate expression that is derived by using the fact that the tan value of the yaw mounting angle is approximate to the yaw mounting angle and assuming that the vehicle is subject to acceleration in the width direction of the vehicle and no acceleration in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
