System and method for inter-vehicle communication and all-wheel drive shut-off

摘要

Methods, devices, and systems are provided for determining connection status of an all-wheel drive (AWD) assembly in a vehicle. The method includes receiving, by the vehicle, a message indicating hazards and hazard locations on the road, and determining a distance from the vehicle to the hazard location. In response to the distance to the hazard position being less than a first threshold distance, the state of the AWD assembly in the vehicle is set to a connected state. In response to the distance to the hazard position being greater than the first threshold, a time for the vehicle to reach the hazard position is determined. If the time to the hazard position is below a threshold AWD connection time, the state of the AWD assembly is set to the connection state. [Selection] Figure 4
