Comfort assessment device for motor vehicles with means of recording and evaluating the longitudinal acceleration and use of such a device in an automatic control device

摘要

The ride comfort evaluation system detects the longitudinal acceleration (a) of the vehicle and indicates the ride comfort in dependence on the obtained longitudinal acceleration characteristic. This is evaluated via a processor (1) which determines the frequency of the reversals in the sign of the acceleration gradient, or the acceleration gradient between successive acceleration gradient sign reversals.
