Vehicle control system
A vehicle control system obtains an index indicating a running condition of a vehicle on the basis of a vehicle parameter indicating a motion of the vehicle and then sets a running characteristic of the vehicle in accordance with the index. The vehicle control system includes a noise reduction unit that is configured to obtain the index on the basis of the vehicle parameter of which a fluctuating component that fluctuates because of a driver's driving operation or the influence of a running road surface.
1. A vehicle control system that obtains an index indicating a running condition of a vehicle on the basis of a vehicle parameter indicating a motion of the vehicle and then sets a running characteristic of the vehicle in accordance with the index, comprising:
a noise reduction unit that is configured to obtain the index on the basis of the vehicle parameter of which a fluctuating component that fluctuates due to a condition of a running road surface is attenuated,
wherein the noise reduction unit is configured to attenuate a noise component of a predetermined frequency that falls within a predetermined frequency band of the fluctuating component by filtering the fluctuating component using a band-pass filter having a predetermined frequency characteristic, in order to suppress an influence of a noise of the fluctuating component on a resultant index.
2. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein
the vehicle parameter includes an acceleration of the vehicle.
3. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein
the noise reduction unit is configured to attenuate a noise component of a predetermined frequency in the fluctuating component.
4. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein
the filter used in the noise reduction unit is the same filter as that used in a unit other than the noise reduction unit.
5. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein
the filter used in the noise reduction unit is different from a filter used in a unit other than the noise reduction unit.
6. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein
in the filter used in the noise reduction unit, a filter characteristic for a component in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle is different from a filter characteristic for a component in a lateral direction of the vehicle.
7. The vehicle control system according to claim 1 , wherein
the filter used in the noise reduction unit has a filter characteristic that is varied in accordance with a speed range of the vehicle.
8. The vehicle control system according to claim 2 , wherein
the noise reduction unit is configured to attenuate a noise component of a predetermined frequency in the fluctuating component.
