Abstract

Systems and methods for facilitating an automatic adjustment of a braking system is provided. In one example, a computer-implemented method can comprise generating, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a braking curve model based on braking usage pattern data corresponding to one or more vehicles. The computer-implemented method can also comprise adjusting, by the system, a supplemental braking component of the first vehicle based on a simulation of one or more braking components corresponding to the one or more vehicles, wherein the one or more braking components is represented by the braking curve model.

Claims (34)

1. A system comprising:

a memory that stores computer executable components;

a processor operably coupled to the memory and that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise:

a learning component that generates a brake curve based on brake data from one or more vehicles;

a transformation component that transforms the brake curve to a transformed brake curve based on a defined braking criterion;

a sensing component that senses a condition corresponding to a first location of a first vehicle of the one or more vehicles; and

an adjustment component that adjusts at least one supplemental braking component of the first vehicle based on the transformed brake curve, the condition, and defined braking criterion, wherein the at least one supplemental braking component is selected from a group consisting of a brake drum, a parking brake, a hydraulic pipe, a power steering pump piston, a brake disk, and a brake pedal of the first vehicle.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the transformed brake curve is a result of application of the defined braking criterion to the braking curve.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the condition is an environmental condition and the defined braking criterion comprises the environmental condition associated with the first location of the first vehicle.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the environmental condition is selected from a group consisting of a road condition, a weather condition and a first vehicle operational condition.

5. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a hydraulic pressure component coupled to a brake panel element of the first vehicle and that adjusts at least one force setting of the brake pedal of the first vehicle.

6. The system of claim 5 , wherein a first force setting of the at least one force setting corresponds to a defined brake pedal pressure measurement used to facilitate an engagement of the brake pedal.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein a second force setting of the at least one force setting corresponds to a braking pedal angular velocity measurement from the brake data.

8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a mapping component that maps a simulated braking component from the one or more vehicles to the first vehicle.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein a first brake data of the brake data comprises a user brake usage pattern.

10. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a determination component that determines a measurement of a gap between a personalized braking model and an actual braking effect model to facilitate generation of the brake curve.

11. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

generating, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a brake curve based on brake data from one or more vehicles;

transforming, by the system, the brake curve to a transformed brake curve based on a defined braking criterion;

sensing, by the system, a condition corresponding to a first location of a first vehicle of the one or more vehicles; and

adjusting, by the system, at least one supplemental braking component of the first vehicle based on the transformed brake curve, the condition, and defined braking criterion, wherein the at least one supplemental braking component is selected from a group consisting of a brake drum, a parking brake, a hydraulic pipe, a power steering pump piston, a brake disk, and a brake pedal of the first vehicle.

12. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , further comprising mapping, by the system, a simulated braking component from the one or more vehicles to the first vehicle.

13. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , further comprising determining, by the system, a measurement of a gap between a personalized braking model and an actual braking effect model to facilitate generation of the brake curve.

14. The computer-implemented method of claim 11 , wherein the adjusting of the at least one supplemental braking component comprises adjusting at least one force setting of the brake pedal of the first vehicle.

15. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein a first force setting of the at least one force setting corresponds to a defined brake pedal pressure measurement used to facilitate an engagement of the brake pedal.

16. The computer-implemented method of claim 14 , wherein a second force setting of the at least one force setting corresponds to a braking pedal angular velocity measurement from the brake data.

17. A computer program product for facilitating an automatic adjustment of a braking system, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to:

generate a brake curve based on brake data from one or more vehicles;

transform the brake curve to a transformed brake curve based on a defined braking criterion;

sense a condition corresponding to a first location of a first vehicle of the one or more vehicles; and

adjust at least one supplemental braking component of the first vehicle based on the transformed brake curve, the condition, and defined braking criterion, wherein the at least one supplemental braking component is selected from a group consisting of a brake drum, a parking brake, a hydraulic pipe, a power steering pump piston, a brake disk, and a brake pedal of the first vehicle.

18. The computer program product of claim 17 , wherein the adjustment of the at least one supplemental braking component comprises adjust at least one force setting of the brake pedal of the first vehicle.

19. The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein a first force setting of the at least one force setting corresponds to a defined brake pedal pressure measurement used to facilitate an engagement of the brake pedal.

20. The computer program product of claim 18 , wherein a second force setting of the at least one force setting corresponds to a braking pedal angular velocity.
