    TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The invention relates to a method, a feeding device and a control unit in a vehicle. More particularly, the invention provides a mechanism for adapting a control algorithm which controls a clutch control system in a vehicle, to a stress level the driver of the vehicle has.
    BACKGROUND For all control systems in a vehicle with which the driver of the vehicle interacts, it is fundamental to try to carry out what the driver is requesting in a way that the driver is believed to want. In this context, vehicles refer to, for example, truck, lorry, flatbed truck, transport vehicle, truck, motorhome, pickup, work car, passenger car, emergency vehicle, vehicle, van, quad bike, forwarder, excavator, car, crane truck, tanker, motorcycle, wheel loader, moped, skater , limousine, 20 sports car, race car, radio car, lawn mower, tank, snowmobile, snow shovel, SUV, tracked vehicle, tractor, go-kart, bus, combine harvester, agricultural machine or similar motor-driven or unmanned means of transport, adapted for land-based geographical movement. In a vehicle of the above kind, a variety of driveline configurations can occur. For example, the gearbox can be a manually waxed gearbox, an automated gearbox or an automatic gearbox. In the case of heavy vehicles, it is often undesirable for them to be able to be driven in a way that is as comfortable as possible for the driver, which usually means that the gear changes of the gearbox are carried out automatically with the aid of the vehicle's control system. Therefore, automated gearboxes for these vehicles have become increasingly common.
    Such automated shifting in heavy vehicles often consists of a control system-controlled shifting of "manual" shifting ladders (also called AMT, Automated Manual Transmission), e.g. because these are significantly cheaper to produce, but also because of their more efficient efficiency, compared to traditional automatic gearboxes. They also have lower weight. In the case of heavy vehicles which are largely used for road / motor vehicle use, the "manual" gearboxes are usually automatically shifted. These tend to be automated vdxellador.
    This shift can take place in several different ways, and according to such a way, an automated clutch of the vehicle's control system is used for shifting, whereby the driver thus only needs access to the accelerator pedal and brake pedal.
    In principle, the clutch only needs to be used to start the vehicle from a standstill, as other shifting can be performed by the vehicle's control system without the clutch being used at all by performing the gears instead of "torqueless". It is also possible that the automated connection is only used for certain switching steps, or only for certain switching steps.
    Many times, however, the automated clutch is used by comfort shells at all or essentially all shifts.
    Control of the automated clutch is achieved by using the vehicle control system controller 3 clutch actuator. The clutch actuator can e.g. consists of one or more pneumatically controlled and on a hot-acting pistons, the coupling being opened / closed by means of a single-heat motion. The switching actuator can also be of the electric type.
    An automated or manual clutch control system such as any of the above can be further controlled by a control algorithm, which includes parameters which are actuated by the vehicle occupants, such as, for example, the accelerator pedal caliper, brake pedal caliper and / or clutch pedal caliper.
    As a result, the length of the clutch plate can be selected according to the control algorithm, based on driver input via, for example, some of the length of the said pedals, the change in height or the speed of the change in height. If, for example, the driver depresses the accelerator pedal a lot at the same time as the clutch pedal is quickly released, this can mean that the driver will optimize towards having a fast start and then high vehicle acceleration. Furthermore, some automated clutch control systems are adapted to be controlled by interpreting also the speed at which the driver requires accelerator pedal side and / or clutch pedal gear in different directions to obtain an estimate of what behavior the driver will have of the clutch control system and thus what behavior the driver will have of the vehicle. This generally works well as long as the driver is in a harmonious state and / or acting rationally, see Figure 1A.
    A problem with the clutch control system described above Or, however, the great dependence on normal behavior has the vehicle's driver. A driver in a traffic environment can be exposed to, and be affected by, stressful traffic situations and therefore does not always behave rationally, see Figure 1B. The driver can, for example, get stuck in a car in rush hour traffic, at the same time as 4 hens have a time to fit; or is affected in terms of office by perceived or actual shortcomings of other road users in the driving of their respective vehicles, which may trigger at least occasional irrational driving behavior.
    The control algorithms of the automated clutch control system are adapted to a rational behavior of the driver. Therefore, the clutch control system may behave irrationally if / when the driver behaves irrationally. For example, in an extreme case of the above scenario where the driver depresses the accelerator pedal very quickly while the clutch pedal is released quickly, this can result in a tire slip, or so-called burn-out, where the vehicle's drive wheels slip against the ground, which in turn can lead to lost lateral stability and in the worst case that the driver loses control of the vehicle, especially since the vehicle has low weight in combination with an efficient engine. For a heavily loaded vehicle, an excessively fast and unobtrusive disconnection in connection with rapid acceleration can lead to damage to the drive shaft, reduced service life or wear.
    It is likely that a driver affected by stress, irritation, anger and / or frustration (see Figure 1B) may amplify the signals that the clutch control system tries to interpret, for example by quickly changing the accelerator pedal and clutch pedal from zero to full and then quickly to nolldge again. Such floating with the pedals can cause the clutch control system, due to interpretation problems and possible time delays, to react contrary to what the driver really wants, ie the clutch may come loose when the driver actually wants to drive forward and / or vice versa. The result can be that the vehicle loses traction when the driver really wants to increase traction in the stressful situation. Furthermore, this behavior can result in increased fuel consumption and clamed increased environmental impact, but it can also result in increased wear on the clutch and / or motor shaft, or an accident.
    At the same time, it is important that the clutch is sensitive to the driver's impact and that the driver has the ability to precisely control the clutch through a sensitive stop, for example when precision navigating at a loading dock or when reversing towards a slack.
    It can be stated that drivers, perhaps in particular 10 professional drivers, are often employed by situation-related stress. An irrationally acting driver risks causing damage to the vehicle, in addition to the possible personal suffering that may result.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of this invention to be able to adapt a control algorithm which controls a clutch control system in a vehicle, to a stress level of the vehicle driver to solve at least some of the above problems and thereby achieve a vehicle improvement.
    According to a first aspect of the invention, this targeting is achieved by a method for adapting a control algorithm comprising at least one driver-dependent parameter, which control algorithm controls a clutch control system 25 a vehicle. The method comprises a feeding of at least one physical property of the driver. Furthermore, the method comprises a determination of the driver's stress level, based on the challenged feed. Furthermore, the method comprises adapting the control algorithm to the determined stress level of the driver 30. According to a second aspect of the invention, this targeting is achieved by a control unit for controlling a clutch control system in a vehicle via an adaptable control algorithm. The control unit comprises a communication module 5 for receiving a feed result from a feed of at least one physical property of the driver. The control unit also comprises a processor circuit, arranged to determine the stress level of the driver, based on the feed performed, and also arranged to adapt the control algorithm to the determined stress level of the driver 10.
    According to a third aspect of the invention, this targeting is achieved by a feeding scheme for providing food results for adapting a control algorithm comprising at least one driver-dependent parameter, wherein the control algorithm controls a clutch control system and a vehicle.
    The feeding device comprises a detector for feeding at least one physical property of the driver. Furthermore, the feeding device comprises a communication module, arranged to communicate the fed value to a control unit.
    By feeding at least some physical stress-related parameter has the driver and by being able to detect an increased stress level has the driver by comparing this stress-related parameter with a spruce value, an increased stress level has the driver can be detected. The detected stress can then trigger an adaptation of the control algorithm that controls the clutch control system in the driver's vehicle, to the increased stress level the driver has. As a result, bushy feed inputs can be filtered out, clamped and / or time-shifted, in order to obtain a softer power transmission.
    This reduces wear on the vehicle and in particular its clutch and power transmission, operating costs, but also reduces the risk of accidents for the vehicle and its driver. This achieves an improvement of the vehicle.
    Other advantages and further features will become apparent from the following detailed description of the invention.

Furthermore, the figures are not necessarily to scale, and are, unless otherwise specifically indicated, intended to conceptually illustrate aspects of the invention.
    Figure 2 shows a system 200 for adapting a control algorithm. A driver 2 in front of a vehicle 220. A feeding device 2 adapted to read any or some physical parameters has the driver 210, for example blood pressure and / or pulse. The feed device 230 then sends these feed values to a control unit 2 over a wireless or wired connection. The control unit 240, in turn, influences the vehicle's clutch control system 250. An external storage unit 260 is further adapted to receive and store the food value as the feeding device 230 registered on the driver 210. The feeding device 230 is arranged to feed any or all of the following physical parameters to the driver 210 , for example systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, vascular resistance, respiratory volume, respiratory rate, body temperature, skin temperature, high adrenaline in the blood, high cortisol in the blood, high norepinephrine in the blood, transpiration volume, multiple skin rashes, , body movement, speech volume, voice strength and / or pupil size have the driver 210. Furthermore, the system 200 may comprise a plurality of separate feeding devices 230 in certain embodiments.
    In some embodiments, the feeding device 230 is arranged to be carried by the driver 210 around the wrist. According to other embodiments, the feeding device 230 is connectable to any other body part of the driver 210, such as, for example, finger, hand, arm, neck, body, skin, torso, rectum, legs or barrel. According to further embodiments, the feeding device 230 consists of a plurality of separate feeding devices, each of which feeds different physical parameters on the driver 2 and sends these to the control device 240. The feeding device 230, or feeding devices, may also in certain alternative embodiments be arranged to detect and feed physical parameters. the driver 210 at a distance and can be fixed, for example, in the wheelhouse and / or the driver. The term feed device 230 may clamed also include a plurality of separate feed devices located at the same or separate locations on the driver 210, in the vicinity of the driver, in the wheelhouse or at a certain distance from the driver 210 in different embodiments. To name just one example, a feeding device 230 adapted to measure the driver's skin temperature may include a temperature sensor connected to the driver's skin in one embodiment, but alternatively include an infrared camera adapted to measure the driver's skin temperature, located at a distance from the driver 210. for example in the wheelhouse.
    Furthermore, the feeding device 230 is arranged to communicate with a control unit 240 via a branch interface, which can be constituted by a wireless interface in certain embodiments, but can also be constituted by a wired interface. The wireless interface can be based on radio transmitters based on wireless communication technology such as 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Long Term Evolution (LIE), LIE-Advanced, Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access Network (EUTRAN), Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), Global System for Mobile Communications / Enhanced Data rate for GSM Evolution (GSM / EDGE), Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA), World-Wide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax), Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), Bluetooth (BT) or infrared sanders to name just a few conceivable examples of wireless communication.
    In certain embodiments, the feeder 230 is arranged to communicate the flag or some of the fed physical parameters of the driver 210 to the controller 240 via a communication bus. Such a communication bus is arranged to interconnect a number of electronic control units (ECUs), or controllers, and various components arranged on the vehicle 220.
    The control unit 240 is in turn arranged to communicate partly with the feeding device 230, in order to receive the food value and possibly even trigger a meeting, for example at a certain time interval. Furthermore, the control unit 240 is arranged to communicate with the vehicle coupling control system 250, for example via the vehicle's communication bus, which may be constituted by one or more of a cable; a data bus, such as a CAN bus (Controller Area Network bus), a MOST bus (Media OrientedSystemsTransport), or any other bus configuration; or by a wireless connection, for example according to any of the technologies listed above.
    The control unit 240 may furthermore in certain embodiments be integrated with the vehicle's clutch control system 250.
    In some embodiments, the controller 240 is arranged to forward the food value that the food device 230 has registered on the driver 210 to an external storage unit 260, over a wireless interface according to, for example, one of the previously mentioned technologies for wireless communication.
    The external storage unit 260 is further adapted to receive and store these food values, which can then be analyzed. Thereby, a degenerate throat condition of individual drivers 210 can be detected and an appropriate throat-promoting action package can be assigned to driver 210, for the purpose of breaking his negative neck career, prevention disease, sick leave and / or accidents. In some embodiments, for example, drug stimulants or performance enhancing agents in driver 210 may be detected. The stored food values can also be used to investigate, for example, accidents that have occurred, and it is possible to detect which or which physical parameters or parameter changes are involved in an accident. Such detection can be used to further improve the control algorithm for the control system 250, and other control algorithms the vehicle receives, for example, braking systems or the like. The vehicle clutch control system 250 is arranged to actuate and control the clutch in a gearbox. The gearbox can be a manual gearbox, an automatic gearbox or an automated manual gearbox in different embodiments. Furthermore, the coupling can be constituted by an automated coupling which can, for example, be of the dry lamella type.
    The engagement of the friction element (lamella) with flywheel on the output shaft of the motor can be controlled by means of a pressure plate, which is displaceable laterally by means of, for example, a single heat, the function of which also controls a clutch actuator. The action of the clutch actuator on the sea arm is in turn controlled by the vehicle's clutch control system 250.
    The control algorithm that controls the vehicle clutch control system 250 is affected by one or more parameters, which may be driver-dependent, indirect driver-dependent or driver-independent, such as vehicle inclination, vehicle weight, vehicle type, ride comfort, performance selection, vehicle speed and / or engine speed.
    By the embodiments described herein, aggressive or irrational action of the driver 210 can be detected and its consequences for clutch control system 250 and the vehicle 220 can be reduced. However, even a dangerous condition for vehicle traffic such as blood circulation disturbance, drop in blood pressure, fainting, heart attack, stroke, epileptic seizure or the like can be detected and / or predicted and its consequences for clutch control system 250 and vehicle 220 can be reduced.
    Figure 3 shows a clear example of the invention, divided into a number of steps 1-6. Some of these 13 steps do not necessarily occur in all embodiments of the invention. Furthermore, in some embodiments, these steps may be performed in a different order from what the numbering indicates. Some steps may also be performed in parallel with each other. Step 1 The feeding device 230 feeds a physical property of the driver 210. This physical property can be determined by, for example, blood pressure or pulse.
    Step 2 This input physical property is sent to the control unit 240 via wireless or wired signaling, for example via the vehicle's communication bus.
    Step 3 The controller 240 receives the food value ph at least one physical property of the driver 210. This food value is used to determine the driver's stress level by, for example, comparing the received food value against a spruce value, by detecting the magnitude of a change between two made food values, and / or by detecting the velocity ph a change between two food values made.
    Step 4 In some embodiments, the received food values are forwarded from the controller 240 to an external data storage unit 260, to enable, for example, a throat analysis of the driver 210.
    Step 14 The control unit 240 is arranged to adapt a control algorithm comprising at least one driver-dependent parameter, which control algorithm controls the clutch control system 250 in the vehicle 220, to the determined stress level of the driver.
    This adaptation of the control algorithm may include a filtering out of the motion of the clutch pedal, or other driver-dependent parameter, and / or a time filtering of the driver's clutch request, in order to obtain a smoother power transfer, in certain embodiments.
    In some embodiments, the control algorithm is adapted to the driver's determined stress level by introducing a damping of a driver - dependent parameter, which is proportional to the driver's stress level.
    An advantage thus obtained is that the vehicle 220, or perhaps rather its clutch, will be subjected to a more even wear regardless of which driver 210 is in front of the vehicle 220 and regardless of the mental state of mind this driver 210 has (calm / upset). This neutralizes stress level-related differences in core death between different drivers 210, which results in reduced wear but also greater predictability of the vehicle's behavior for other road users, which in itself can have an accident-reducing effect.
    Step 6 Control data, corrected and adapted to the driver's stress level, is then sent to the clutch control system 250 to influence and control the clutch maneuver via this.
    Figure 4 illustrates an example of an embodiment of the invention. The flow chart in Figure 4 illustrates a method 400 for adapting a control algorithm comprising at least one ferrite dependent parameter, which control algorithm controls a clutch control system 250 in a vehicle 220.
    The control algorithm may in some embodiments include at least one precursor dependent parameter of: idle on an accelerator pedal, idle on an accelerator pedal, idle on a brake pedal, idle change on the accelerator pedal, idle change on the accelerator pedal, idle torque change on the brake pedal the gear pedal, change of height per unit of time on the brake pedal, steering wheel turn and / or speed of steering wheel change. By "gas on a accelerator / transmission / brake pedal" is meant the amount of pedal depressed by the driver 210; not what location in the room, ie. in the wheelhouse, which the pedal has.
    Furthermore, in certain embodiments, the control algorithm may include at least one driver-independent parameter of: vehicle type, inclination of the vehicle 220, vehicle weight, comfort level. In some configurations, the comfort level may be adjustable by either the driver 210, the vehicle driver, the vehicle manufacturer or another actuator.
    The purpose of the method is to adapt the control algorithm to the driver's elevated stress level, whereby the parameters that are not directly driver dependent for a higher proportional weighting in relation to direct driver dependent parameters.
    In order to be able to adapt the control algorithm in a correct way, the method 400 may comprise a number of steps 401-404. It should be noted, however, that some of the steps 16 described herein are only included in certain alternative embodiments of the invention, as, for example, the steps described are performed in an order that the numbering order may be performed in parallel with include the following steps: Step 401 Step 404. Furthermore, they may different chronological suggests and that some of them each other. Method 400 A feed is made by at least one physical property of the driver 210. This feed may be made by one or more feeders 230.
    The feeding of the physical property of the driver 210 can be done by the feeding device 230, which may, for example, be designed as a cuff, connectable to the driver's arm or other body part of the driver 210, in certain embodiments, for example finger, hand, arm, neck, body, skin, torso, rectum, legs or barrel. According to further embodiments, the feeding device 230 consists of a plurality of separate feeding devices, each of which feeds different physical parameters on the driver 210 and sends these to the control device 240. The feeding device 230, or feeding devices, may also have alternative embodiments to detect and feed physical parameters on the driver 210 remotely. can be attached, for example, to the wheelhouse and / or the foresight.
    The term feed device 230 may thus also comprise a plurality of separate feeding devices located in the same or separate places on the driver 210, in the vicinity of the driver, in the wheelhouse or at a certain distance from the driver 210 in different embodiments. The fed physical property of the driver 210 may be sent wirelessly or via cable to a controller 240. However, the feeder 230 may comprise a plurality of feeders, or a feeder 230 comprising a number of different detectors, which may have the same or different spatial location.
    In one embodiment, the feed device 230 may include, or at least partially include, the vehicle horn, as the emotionally distracted driver 210 is likely to overuse the horn.
    Furthermore, the measured physical property may have driver 2 include at least one of: systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, vascular resistance, respiration rate, respiratory rate, body temperature, skin temperature, high adrenaline in the blood, high cortisol in the blood, hand sweat, electrical conduction has the skin, eye movement, muscular tension, body movement, speech volume, rust strength and / or pupil size has the driver 210, according to various embodiments.
    The measured physical property of the driver 210 may in some embodiments include a level change having at least one measured physical property of the driver 210.
    In some embodiments, the measured physical property has the driver 210 includes one level change per unit of time having at least one measured physical property has the driver 210.
    In some forms, only a single physical driver property is fed, leading to a quick and easy analysis, and a reduced price tag on the feeder 230. In addition, only a limited amount of data needs to be transferred to the control unit 240, and also processed and analyzed in this unit. An advantage of feeding several physical properties of the driver 210 is that the reliability and / or sensitivity of the feed increases. A change in only an individual of the above parameters can in itself have a completely different, non-stress-related cause. For example, elevated skin temperature on the driver 210 may be due to the heating system in the cab hooking up rather than the driver 210 being about to have an affected outburst of anger or resentment. In the same way, for example, dilated pupils have the driver 2 due to a receiving vehicle not being mixed with the high beam or having misaligned headlights. By feeding a number of parameters, such as the two mentioned above, one can filter out at least some possible alternative Explanatory models to the driver's deviating physical food value, which increases the accuracy of the procedure according to these embodiments.
    The feeding of the driver's physical property, or properties, can be performed continuously, or at certain time intervals according to certain embodiments. The feed can further be triggered by other parts or trade, sdsom vehicle start, vehicle stop or the like.
    In some embodiments, a starting track on the vehicle 220 is activated when the driver 210 removes the feeding device 230, which is not located before the driver 210 then applies the measuring device 230.
    In some alternative embodiments, an immobilizer is activated on the vehicle 220 when the device 230 detects physical parameters that deviate from the normal parameters of the ordinary operator by a certain threshold level. Thereby, another individual such as an unauthorized driver 30 or thief can be prevented from starting and / or driving the vehicle 220. In some further alternative embodiments a starting trace is activated on the vehicle 220 and the measuring device 230 detects physical parameters which deviate from the driver's ordinary normal parameters. certain threshold level. In this way, it can be avoided that an emotionally attacked driver 210 obstructs vehicle travel.
    Step 402 The driver's stress level is determined, based on the challenging feed.
    This determination of the driver's stress level may be based on the challenge encountered, and include a balance between the measured value and a yard value.
    For example, the physical parameter being fed may be determined by the driver's heart rate. The measured pulse value of the driver, which may be, for example, 72 beats per minute, may be compared with a spruce value which may be predetermined, or configurable to, for example, 85. The spruce value may also be adapted to each individual driver 210, and be for example 10% above the driver's resting heart rate. If the driver's pulse in this example is less than the spruce value, driver 210 can be categorized as harmonic, or unstressed. In such a case, the ordinary control algorithm used to abruptly actuate the clutch control system, completely unengraved, without adapting to the driver's standard, the driver 210 can be considered harmonious.
    However, if the driver's heart rate at another time exceeds 8 beats per minute, the driver 210 can be categorized as stressed, which in turn may trigger an adjustment of the control algorithm according to the following steps.
    An advantage is that the control algorithm is not affected at all because the driver 210 is unstressed. Thereby, the feasibility of the clutch system for the unstressed driver 210 can be maintained, at the same time as a damping of driver-dependent parameters can be introduced in the clutch control system 250 for that stress driver, which directly improves the clutch control system 250.
    The physical parameter fed in other examples may be the driver's heart rate change. Assume that the driver's heart rate is 72 beats per minute in a first meal and 85 beats per minute in a second meal. The pulse increase is old 85-72 = 13 beats per minute, which value can be compared with a spruce value, which can be for example 7 beats per minute, or for example 10% of the original value (ie of 72). An advantage of feeding changes in a driver's physical parameter is that one can use the same yard value regardless of which individual driver 210 is fed. As a result, it is not necessary to calibrate the limit value for the habitual individual driver 210 of the vehicle 220.
    Furthermore, according to certain further embodiments, the physical parameter fed in still other examples may be the driver's heart rate change per unit time. Assume that the driver's heart rate is 72 beats per minute in a first measure and 85 beats per minute in a second measure, which is a minute.
    The pulse rate demand per minute is then 85-72 = 13 beats per minute, which value can be compared with a spruce value, which can be for example 7 beats per minute, or for example 10% of the original value (ie of 72). This embodiment also has the advantage that the same yard value can be used regardless of which individual driver 210 is fed.
    Step 403 21 The control algorithm is adapted to the driver's determined 402 stress level.
    This adaptation of the control algorithm comprises, according to certain embodiments, a reduction of the stress level 402 of the driver-dependent parameter value but the proportional counterpart.
    For example, a feed value of a driver parameter below a spruce value can reduce the driver-dependent parameter value by 0%, a feed value of a driver parameter 10 corresponding to the spruce value can reduce the driver-dependent parameter value by 10% while a feed value of a driver parameter exceeding the spruce value can be 10%. reduce the driver-dependent parameter value by 30%, to now only name an arbitrary and non-limiting example.
    The adaptation of the control algorithm may in certain embodiments comprise a mapping of the driver's determined 402 stress level to a corresponding reduced parameter value and the introduction of this reduced parameter value in the control algorithm.
    One can thereby compare the food value of the fed driver parameter with a food value or food interval in a table, and through this mapping extract a corresponding reduced parameter value, which can later be entered into the control algorithm to vaporize the affected driver switching request and power supply.
    Furthermore, the adaptation of the control algorithm may include the introduction of a time filter, where the length of the time delay is proportional to the driver's determined 402 stress level. For example, a food value of a driver parameter below a green value can cause a non-existent time delay; a food value of a driver parameter that amounts to the limit value can cause a time distortion of one second, while a food value of a driver parameter that exceeds the limit value by 10% can cause a time delay of three seconds, to now only mention an arbitrary and non-limiting example.
    Step 404 This procedure step is performed only in certain alternative embodiments of the procedure 400.
    According to these alternative embodiments, the physical property of the measured 401 has the driver 210 sent to an external data storage unit 260, to enable neck analysis by the driver 210.
    The external storage unit 260 may be located, for example, has the vehicle sawmill or the like, and be arranged to store physical properties has the driver 210, or a plurality of drivers, together with information such as time and / or geographical position. Furthermore, the external storage unit 260 may be arranged to analyze these stored food values. This information can then be used to detect a failed health condition of individual drivers 210 and professional help can then be called in to prescribe additional measures to have the negative driver development of the sick driver.
    The stored food values can also be used to, for example, investigate accidents that have occurred, in the same way as the "black barn" in an aircraft. Thereby, the stored food values with the driver's detected affection eruptions 23 can be analyzed, for example to enable detection of which or which physical parameters or parameter changes are occurring in an accident. Such detection can be used to further improve the control algorithm for the control system 250, and also other control algorithms for, for example, braking systems or the like.
    Figure illustrates an embodiment of a control unit 240 for controlling a clutch control system 250 in a vehicle 220 via an adaptable control algorithm. This controller 240 is configured to perform at least some of the previously described method steps 401-404, including the description of the method 400 for adapting a control algorithm comprising at least one driver dependent parameter to a driver's stress level, which control algorithm controls a clutch control system 250 in a vehicle 220.
    The driver's stress level is determined based on a measured physical property of the driver 210, including at least a flag of: systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, cardiac output, vascular resistance, respiratory volume, respiratory rate, body temperature, skin temperature, blood adrenaline in the blood, , transpiration volume, amount of secreted hand sweat, electrical conduction has the skin, agitation, muscular tension, body movement, speech volume, rust strength and / or pupil size according to different embodiments.
    The measured physical property of the driver 210 may include, for example, a level change having at least one measured physical property of the driver 210 in certain embodiments. Furthermore, the measured physical property has the driver 210 may include one level change per unit time if at least one measured physical property has the driver 210. 24 In order to properly adapt the control algorithm to the driver's stress level, the control unit 240 contains a number of components, which are described in more detail in the following text. . Some of the described subcomponents occur in some, but not necessarily all, embodiments. There may also be additional electronics in the control unit 240, which is not necessary to understand the function of the control unit 240 according to the invention.
    The control unit 240 includes a communication module 510 for receiving a feed result from a feed of at least one physical property of the driver 210. The mode results are received over a wireless or wired interface from a feed unit 230. Furthermore, the communication module 510 is arranged to send instructions to a switching control system 250. , which in turn affects the vehicle's clutch and clutch engagement. The communication module 510 is also in certain embodiments arranged to send counter data to an external unit 260, for storage and analysis of this counter data. This communication 9-Ors tradlest to the external storage unit 260.
    The communication module 510 may in some embodiments be a separate device and receiver.
    The communication module 510 may in some embodiments be a receiver, or transceiver, which is adapted to transmit and receive radio signals, and which parts of the structure, such as the antenna, are common to transmitters and receivers. Furthermore, the communication module 510 can be adapted for wireless information transmission, via radio waves, WLAN, Bluetooth or infrared transmitter / receiver module. However, in some embodiments, the communication module 510 may be specially adapted for wired information exchange with the device 230 and / or the vehicle data bus.
    Furthermore, the control unit 240 comprises a processor circuit 520, arranged to determine the stress level of the driver, based on the challenged feed, and also arranged to adapt the control algorithm to the determined stress level of the driver.
    In some embodiments, the processor circuit 520 may be arranged to determine the stress level of the driver based on a comparison between the measured value and a review value.
    In some embodiments, the processor circuit 520 may be arranged to adapt the control algorithm by reducing the driver-dependent parameter value in proportion to the determined stress level of the driver.
    For example, a feed value of a driver parameter below a spruce value can reduce the driver-dependent parameter value by 0%, a feed value of a driver parameter corresponding to the spruce value can reduce the driver-dependent parameter value by 10% while a feed value of a driver parameter exceeding the spruce value by 10% the driver-dependent parameter value by 30%, to now only name an arbitrary and non-limiting example.
    In some embodiments, the processor circuit 520 may be arranged to adapt the control algorithm by mapping the determined stress level of the driver to a corresponding reduced parameter value and introducing this reduced parameter value into the control algorithm.
    One can thereby compare the food value of the fed driver parameter with a food value or food value range in a table, and through this mapping extract a corresponding reduced parameter value, which can later be entered into the control algorithm to vaporize the affected 26 driver coupling and provide a softer force.
    In some embodiments, the processor circuit 520 may be arranged to adapt the control algorithm by introducing a time filter, where the length of the time delay is proportional to the determined stress level of the driver.
    For example, a food value of a driver parameter that is less than a spruce value can give rise to a non-existent time delay; a food value of a driver parameter that amounts to the limit value can cause a time delay of one second, while a food value of a driver parameter that exceeds the limit value by 10% can cause a time delay of three seconds, to name just one arbitrary and non-limiting example.
    The processor circuit 520 may be comprised of, for example, one or more Central Processing Unit (CPU), microprocessor or other logic designed to interpret and execute instructions and / or to read and write data. The processor circuit 520 may handle data for inflow, outflow or data processing of data including top buffering data, control functions and the like.

These detectors 610 may be located at a plurality of locations in the cab and / or on the driver 210. To illustrate an example, the steering wheel of the vehicle may include a moisture detector, thermometer and / or means for electrical wiring.
    An advantage of feeding several physical properties of the driver 210 is that the reliability and / or sensitivity of the feed increases. Change in only one individual of the above parameters can be completely correct, non-stress-related cause. For example, increased skin temperature on the driver 210 may rather be due to the heating system in the cab hooked up sip, In that the driver 210 dr AA Tag to have an affected outburst of anger. In the same way, for example, dilated pupils have driver 210 due to the fact that an oncoming vehicle is simply not mixed with the headlight, or has misaligned headlights, rather than on the driver's anger.
    The measuring device 230 also comprises a communication module 630 arranged to communicate the measured value to a control unit 240. The communication module 630 is in turn arranged to communicate the measured value wirelessly or the wireless control unit 2 and / or a data storage unit 260, in certain embodiments.
    The communication module 630 may in some embodiments be a separate device transmitter and receiver.
    The communication module 630 may in some embodiments be a sand receiver, or transceiver, which is adapted to transmit and receive radio signals, and where parts of the structure, for example the antenna, are common to the sanders and receivers. Furthermore, the communication module 630 can be adapted for wireless information transmission, via radio waves, WLAN, Bluetooth or infrared transmitter / receiver module. However, in some embodiments, the communication module 630 may be specifically adapted for wired information exchange with the controller 240 and / or the vehicle data bus.
    In some embodiments, the feeder 230 includes a camera adapted to feed the pupil size of the driver. At least some of these embodiments allow the feeder 230 / camera to be mounted in a location in the wheelhouse in front of the driver 210, such as in the instrument panel, steering wheel, rearview mirror, steering wheel roof or similar suitable location substantially in front of the driver 210 so that the driver's pupil can be detected and pupil size mdtas.
    In some embodiments, the measuring device 230 is formed as a cuff, connectable to the driver's arm or other body portion. In this way, one can easily and reliably measure, for example, the driver's blood pressure, pulse, skin temperature, electrically conductive shape of the skin and / or the amount of perspiration.
    In one embodiment, the vehicle 220 can only be started when the driver 210 mounts the measuring device 230.
    The measuring device 230 is in certain embodiments arranged to detect a level change having at least one measured physical property has the driver 210. Alternatively, the feeding device 2 may be adapted to detect a level change per unit of time having at least one measured physical property having the driver 210.
    Furthermore, certain embodiments of the invention comprise a system 200 for adapting a control algorithm comprising at least one driver-dependent parameter, which control algorithm controls a clutch control system 250 in a vehicle 220. This system 200 comprises a feed device 230, according to one of the embodiments described in connection with the presentation of Figure 6. The system 200 also includes a controller 240, according to any of the embodiments described in connection with the presentation of Figure 5, which is adapted to determine the stress level of the driver 210, based on the challenge and adapting a control algorithm to the determined stress level of the driver. Some embodiments of the invention also include a vehicle 220, which includes the system 200 described above.
    According to some alternative embodiments, the vehicle comprises 220 amen, or is connectable to, a unit capable of determining geographical position, such as a GPS module. This alternative unit is specially adapted to determine the existing position of the vehicle, and allows, for example, a storage or marking to mark the position of a stress incident in the driver 210, possibly together with a time task. Thereby, geographical position and / or time of stress reactions of the driver 210, and / or a plurality of drivers, can be sent to and stored in the external data storage unit 260 for later presentation. For example, a stress map can then be drawn, based on this collected information, which can be used for route planning, or to warn the driver 210 to enter a high stress area on the road, based on his geographical position / position change direction. This can eliminate harmful stress situations or at least consequence. that the route is planned so that the high stress areas / times are avoided.
    According to certain alternative embodiments, further, at the detected increased stress level of the driver 210, a reconnection to the driver 210 can be made, in order to calm him. Such reconnection can consist, for example, of soothing / relaxing music / sound / speech being played, that the ventilation / air conditioning in the driver's compartment is increased in order to lower the temperature and increase the oxygen supply, that a driver's seat built massage module is activated which can have a pacifying effect on the mentally disturbed driver. 32 This can further reduce the risk of stress-related injuries and / or accidents.
    It can further be stated that embodiments of the invention are applicable both when shifting for forward travel or when reversing for reversing the vehicle 220. However, in some cases it may be advantageous to activate only the above procedure when traveling in the forward direction of the vehicle, in order to reduce the risk of trigger further danger aggression in connection with, for example, reversing or pocket parking. Furthermore, certain embodiments may include that the inventive function may be selectively shut down during certain maneuvers, such as when driving the vehicle 220 in a shunting mode / maneuvering mode where the driver 210 often drives the vehicle 220 at a very low speed when, for example, loading a loading dock.
    Furthermore, the invention has been exemplified above according to certain embodiments for a situation (The driver 210 requests propulsion via a steerable accelerator such as an accelerator pedal. However, the invention is applicable even when the driver 210 requests propulsion in another way, such as via some driver-assisted system or other control unit.
    The present invention can be used both in pedal grinding, that is to say in the driver 210 itself regulating the torque request from the engine, and in accelerator grinding. The term pedal control includes and in this document essentially all types of controls adapted for regulating the torque request, such as, for example, an accelerator pedal or a hand throttle device. 33
