  • Patent number: 11530932
    Abstract: The invention is a method of characterizing a road for at least one route travelled by at least one road user, with sensors: a three-axis accelerometer (ACC) and a geolocation sensor (GPS). The method comprises a measurement step (MES), a measurement processing step for disregarding (AFF) the effects related to the road user's speed in order to determine vibrations due to the road roughness, and an analysis of the vibrations to characterize (CAR) the condition of the road.

  • Publication number: 20220148418
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining a number of vehicle crossings (Ntot) on at least one road portion of a road network, wherein measurements using fixed sensors (1) and geolocation measurements (GEO) are performed. For this method, a spatialized scalar field (SCA) is determined. Finally, the number of vehicle crossings (Ntot) is determined by way of the determined spatialized scalar field (SCA) (which depends in particular on the measurements using fixed sensors and the geolocation measurements (GEO).

  • Patent number: 11307081
    Abstract: A method determines the total mass of an automotive vehicle on the basis of data of a communication network and parameters of the vehicle, in which an estimation of the total laden mass (mv,est) of the vehicle, of the speed of the vehicle (vest) and of the slope of the road (?est) is determined at an instant (k) by applying the fundamental equation of dynamics and as a function of the values of the total mass of the vehicle, of the speed of the vehicle and of the slope of the road at a previous instant (k?1).

  • Patent number: 11195352
    Abstract: A method for analyzing the distribution of energy expenditures of a motor vehicle from data from a communications network and from parameters of the vehicle includes steps in which the energy expenditures of the vehicle over a journey are calculated, the said energy expenditures are analyzed by comparing them with at least one model of the vehicle simulating the same journey, an energy balance report is formulated on the basis of the analysis of the energy expenditures and of the fuel consumption and the said energy balance report is communicated to an external server.

  • Patent number: 9879592
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a combustion engine (1) equipped with a supercharging system, comprising a turbocharger (2) and a mechanical compressor (3) and a bypass circuit disposed in parallel with the mechanical compressor comprising a controlled bypass valve (4). The method includes: a) acquiring a boost pressure setpoint Psuralsp; b) converting the boost pressure setpoint Psuralsp into an opening setpoint Bypasssp of the bypass valve (4) using a filling model modelling the filling of the supercharging boost volume between the intake valves of the engine (1) and the mechanical compressor (3) and bypass valve (4); and c) controlling the bypass valve (4) is according to the opening setpoint Bypasssp of the bypass valve.

  • Patent number: 9739281
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the pressure Pavcm upstream of a mechanical compressor (3) equipped with a double supercharging circuit of a combustion engine. The pressure Pavcm is determined by a dynamic model based on a law of conservation of flow rate in the volume upstream of the mechanical compressor. The model links the pressure Pavcm upstream of the mechanical compressor (3) to a temperature Tavcm upstream of the mechanical compressor (3), to a boost pressure Psural and boost temperature Tsural on the intake side of the engine, and to an openness Bypass of the bypass valve (4).

  • Patent number: 9286737
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining at least one eco-driving indicator wherein at least a first indicator (IND) is determined as an optimal speed (Vopt) that minimizes the energy consumption. Calculation of optimal speed Vopt is constrained by measured instant speeds Vmes at breakpoints of the travel where the driver has to adapt his driving according to conditions external to the travel. Once the eco-driving indicator is determined, it can be displayed (AFF) and/or the vehicle can be controlled (COM) in accordance with the indicator.
