  • the number of circles which are close to the expected value of the main lobe maximum tends to decrease, and the number of circles which are close to the expected side lobe maxima tends to increase.
  • the expected side lobes are weaker so that the likelihood that a determined correlation peak will fall into one of the side lobes is smaller.
  • the circles plotted in Fig; 8 show a band structure with a main band and side bands.
  • the main band reflects the main lobe of the correlation function and the side bands reflect the side lobes of the correlation function.
  • the more circles there are in the side bands the smoother the road is.
  • the more circles there are in the main band the rougher the road is.

  • the. variance of the positions of the correlation peaks gets largest for road surface 3 (smooth road) in which the occupation of the main band is even more diminished and the side bands get even stronger occupied by the circles.
  • Fig. 9 shows a flow-diagram which demonstrates the basic steps of an exemplary method to determine the ground condition under a driving vehicle as explained above, in steps 91 and 93, front and rear wheel speed signals are obtained from wheel speed sensors of the vehicle. In step 95, these wheel speed signals are correlated with each other, e.g. by a correlation function R13 according to equation (1). In step 97, the characteristics of the correlation function, respectively the characteristics of a correlation signal, e.g. of a correlation maximum are determined. This may be done on the principles as described above, e.g. by evaluating the strength of the side lobes, e.g. by comparing the strength of side lobes to the strength of the main lobe (main maximum). Finally, in step 99, the ground condition can be determined from these characteristics of the correlation signal. If for example, the shape of the correlation signal is evaluated, e.g. the breadth of the correlation signal, then the broader the correlation signal is, the smoother the road surface is.
  • each circle may be attributed to either the expected main band or to an expected side band of the correlation signal.
  • the number of circles falling in the side band of the correlation signal may then be compared with the number of circles falling in the main band of the correlation signal in order to obtain a measure for the road surface condition.
  • Fig. 10 This alternative is depicted in Fig. 10.
  • steps 101 and 103 a total number of N batches of wheel speed signals are accumulated over time.
  • step 105 for each batch, the correlation of the front and wheel speed signals is calculated.
  • the maximum of each correlation function is determined.
  • step 111 the total number N1 of batches whose maximum falls into the main lobe is counted.
  • step 113 the total number N2 of batches whose maximum falls into side lobes is counted.
  • step 113 the road condition is determined from the ratio of N1 and N2. The larger the ratio N1/N2 is, the rougher the road is.
  • a correlation analysis of a measurement batch as described above provides one or more output values which reflect e.g. the (current) strength of the side lobes of the correlation function.
  • this output value may for example be the variance of the correlation peak.
  • a real-time road classification can be based on these output values.
  • the variance may be approximated in real-time by a Least-Mean-Square filter:
  • ⁇ ⁇ is the raw correlation peak
  • ⁇ ⁇ is the tracked correlation peak
  • k is the current batch number
  • the step length ⁇ ⁇ is a filter parameter.
  • the classification of the road surface is updated based on the new, filtered value from the correlation analysis.
