False positive request detection
Systems, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to detecting a false positive request to disengage a vehicle control system. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a false positive request to disengage a vehicle control system based on a difference between a road wheel angle input and an angle of a road wheel controlled by the road wheel angle input and preventing the vehicle control system from disengaging based on detecting the false positive request.
1. A method comprising:
detecting a false positive request to disengage a vehicle control system based on whether:
a rate of change of angle of a road wheel exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the road wheel being controlled by a road wheel angle input; and
a difference between the road wheel angle input and an angle of the road wheel exceeds a second predetermined threshold value; and
preventing the vehicle control system from disengaging based on detecting the false positive request.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the vehicle control system is capable of being disengaged based on the road wheel angle input.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the difference is based on a position of the road wheel angle input and a position of the angle of the road wheel.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the difference is based on a rate of change of the road wheel angle input and a rate of change of the angle of the road wheel.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
detecting the false positive request based on at least one of: a characteristic of a vehicle and a characteristic of a road, wherein the vehicle includes the vehicle control system, and wherein the vehicle is travelling on the road.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the road wheel angle input is based on a steering wheel input.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the road wheel angle input is based on an electronic control unit (ECU).
8. A system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing machine-readable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
detect a false positive request to disengage a vehicle control system based on whether:
a rate of change of angle of a road wheel exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the road wheel being controlled by a road wheel angle input; and
a difference between the road wheel angle input and an angle of the road wheel exceeds a second predetermined threshold value; and
prevent the vehicle control system from disengaging based on detecting the false positive request.
9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the vehicle control system is capable of being disengaged based on the road wheel angle input.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the difference is based on a position of the road wheel angle input and a position of the angle of the road wheel.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the difference is based on a rate of change of the road wheel angle input and a rate of change of the angle of the road wheel.
12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the machine-readable instructions further include instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
detect the false positive request based on at least one of: a characteristic of a vehicle and a characteristic of a road, wherein the vehicle includes the vehicle control system, and wherein the vehicle is travelling on the road.
13. The system of claim 8 , wherein the road wheel angle input is based on a steering wheel input.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the road wheel angle input is based on an electronic control unit (ECU).
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium including instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to:
detect a false positive request to disengage a vehicle control system based on whether:
a rate of change of angle of a road wheel exceeds a predetermined threshold value, the road wheel being controlled by a road wheel angle input; and
a difference between the road wheel angle input and an angle of the road wheel exceeds a second predetermined threshold value; and
prevent the vehicle control system from disengaging based on detecting the false positive request.
16. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the vehicle control system is capable of being disengaged based on the road wheel angle input.
17. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the difference is based on a position of the road wheel angle input and a position of the angle of the road wheel.
18. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the difference is based on a rate of change of the road wheel angle input and a rate of change of the angle of the road wheel.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the instructions further include instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
detect the false positive request based on at least one of: a characteristic of a vehicle and a characteristic of a road, wherein the vehicle includes the vehicle control system, and wherein the vehicle is travelling on the road.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 15 , wherein the road wheel angle input is based on a steering wheel input.
