Method for controlling a deceleration request in a one-pedal-driving mode of a vehicle, computer program product, data processing apparatus, and vehicle

1 . A method for controlling a deceleration request in a one-pedal-driving mode of a vehicle, the deceleration request comprising a deceleration level being a function of a position of a drive pedal of the vehicle, the method comprising:

determining, by a system comprising a processor, using a driver model and based on at least one driver input sensor, a driving intention of a driver of the vehicle;

determining, by the system, based on the driving intention and at least one determined vehicle motion of the vehicle, a vehicle stability information, the vehicle stability information being indicative for driving stability of the vehicle;

comparing, by the system, the vehicle stability information to a vehicle stability information threshold; and

in response to determining that the vehicle stability information exceeds the vehicle stability information threshold, triggering, by the system, a reduction of the deceleration level of the deceleration request, wherein an amount of the reduction is based on the vehicle stability information.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the driver model comprises a virtual model of a set of driving operations of the driver.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the virtual model models the set of driving operations of the driver under different driving situations.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one determined vehicle motion is based on at least one of a wheel speed sensor or an inertia measurement unit of the vehicle.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one determined vehicle motion is based on a vehicle stability model.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the vehicle stability model comprises a virtual model of vehicle stability of the vehicle determined driving intention.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the virtual model models the vehicle stability under different driving situations.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the at least one driver input sensor comprises at least one of a steering angle sensor, a brake pedal sensor, or a drive pedal sensor of the vehicle.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the method is executed periodically or according to a schedule.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising:

increasing, by the system, the deceleration level of the deceleration request if the vehicle stability information is determined no longer to exceed the vehicle stability information threshold.

11 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the deceleration request comprises a regenerative deceleration or a deceleration through service brakes of the vehicle.

12 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving, by the system, a brake pedal operation information; and

eliminating, by the system, the reduction of the deceleration level of the deceleration request.

13 . A vehicle, comprising:

at least one processor; and

at least one memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

determining using a driver model and based on at least one driver input sensor, a driving intention of a driver of the vehicle;

determining, based on the driving intention and at least one determined vehicle motion of the vehicle, a vehicle stability information, the vehicle stability information being indicative for driving stability of the vehicle;

comparing the vehicle stability information to a vehicle stability information threshold; and

in response to determining that the vehicle stability information exceeds the vehicle stability information threshold, triggering a reduction of a deceleration level of a deceleration request, wherein an amount of the reduction is based on the vehicle stability information.

14 . The vehicle of claim 13 , wherein the driver model comprises a virtual model of a set of driving operations of the driver.

15 . The vehicle of claim 13 , wherein the at least one determined vehicle motion is based on at least one of a wheel speed sensor or an inertia measurement unit of the vehicle.

16 . The vehicle of claim 13 , wherein the at least one determined vehicle motion is based on a vehicle stability model.

17 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

determining using a driver model and based on at least one driver input sensor, a driving intention of a driver of the vehicle;

determining, based on the driving intention and at least one determined vehicle motion of the vehicle, a vehicle stability information, the vehicle stability information being indicative for a driving stability of a vehicle;

comparing the vehicle stability information to a vehicle stability information threshold; and

in response to determining that the vehicle stability information exceeds the vehicle stability information threshold, triggering a reduction of a deceleration level of a deceleration request, wherein an amount of the reduction is based on the vehicle stability information.

18 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the driver model comprises a virtual model of a set of driving operations of the driver.

19 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the virtual model models the set of driving operations of the driver under different driving situations.

20 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 17 , wherein the at least one driver input sensor comprises at least one of a steering angle sensor, a brake pedal sensor, or a drive pedal sensor of the vehicle.
