Abstract

An acceleration/deceleration detecting system includes an acceleration/deceleration detector configured to be disposed in a measurement object and detect acceleration/deceleration of the measurement object, an acceleration/deceleration device configured to accelerate or decelerate the measurement object, and a calculation device configured to determine that a detection value of the acceleration/deceleration detector is an offset error or a detection error of the acceleration/deceleration detector, when an actual acceleration/deceleration direction of the measurement object is different from an acceleration/deceleration direction shown by a detection value of the acceleration/deceleration detector in a state that the measurement object is accelerated or decelerated by the acceleration/deceleration device.

Claims (13)

1. An acceleration/deceleration detecting system comprising:

an acceleration/deceleration detector configured to be disposed in a measurement object and detect acceleration/deceleration of the measurement object;

an acceleration/deceleration device configured to accelerate or decelerate the measurement object; and

a calculation device configured to set a detection value of the acceleration/deceleration detector as an offset error or a detection error of the acceleration/deceleration detector, when an actual acceleration/deceleration direction of the measurement object is different from an acceleration/deceleration direction shown by a detection value of the acceleration/deceleration detector in a state that the measurement object is accelerated or decelerated by the acceleration/deceleration device operated by a driver.

2. The acceleration/deceleration detecting system according to claim 1 , wherein the calculation device corrects the detection value of the acceleration/deceleration detector based on the offset error or the detection error.

3. The acceleration/deceleration detecting system according to claim 2 , wherein when the measurement object is a vehicle, a calculation processing operation of the calculation device is executed when a behavior of the vehicle is in a stable state.

4. The acceleration/deceleration detecting system according to claim 2 , wherein when the measurement object is a vehicle, a calculation processing operation of the calculation device is prohibited for a predetermined time when a behavior of the vehicle is not in a stable state.

5. The acceleration/deceleration detecting system according to claim 2 , wherein when the measurement object is a vehicle, a calculation processing operation of the calculation device is prohibited when a steering angle of a steering wheel or a turning angle of a wheel is equal to or larger than a predetermined angle.

6. The acceleration/deceleration detecting system according to claim 2 , wherein a calculation processing operation of the calculation device is executed at an early stage of an acceleration operation or a deceleration operation executed by the acceleration/deceleration device.

7. The acceleration/deceleration detecting system according to claim 1 , wherein when the measurement object is a vehicle, a calculation processing operation of the calculation device is executed when a behavior of the vehicle is in a stable state.

8. The acceleration/deceleration detecting system according to claim 1 , wherein when the measurement object is a vehicle, a calculation processing operation of the calculation device is prohibited for a predetermined time when a behavior of the vehicle is not in a stable state.

9. The acceleration/deceleration detecting system according to claim 1 , wherein when the measurement object is a vehicle, a calculation processing operation of the calculation device is prohibited when a steering angle of a steering wheel or a turning angle of a wheel is equal to or larger than a predetermined angle.

10. The acceleration/deceleration detecting system according to claim 1 , wherein a calculation processing operation of the calculation device is executed at an early stage of an acceleration operation or a deceleration operation executed by the acceleration/deceleration device.
