A Turn Indication System Of A Vehicle And A Method For Operating The Same

Abstract: A turn indication system (10) of a vehicle comprising: a first sensor (20) configured to sense a turn angle of the vehicle; a second sensor (30) configured to sense an instantaneous speed of the vehicle; a timer (40) configured to measure a turn off time of a turn signal; a processing subsystem (50) operatively coupled to the first sensor (20), the second sensor (30) and the timer (40), and configured to: tune an initial turn angle to a reference turn angle value upon activating a turn signal; tune a turn off time to a reference turn off time value upon activating a turn signal; compare the turn off time with a threshold turn off time; compare the instantaneous speed with a speed threshold based on a sensed instantaneous speed received from the second sensor; compute a turn angle difference between the initial turn angle and an instantaneous turn angle based on a sensed turn angle received from the first sensor; compare the turn angle difference with a threshold turn angle; update the turn off time based on a compared turn angle and a compared turn speed; and deactivate the turn signal when the turn off time is equal to the threshold turn off time.

Specification

A turn indication system (10) of a vehicle comprising:
a first sensor (20) configured to sense a turn angle of the vehicle;
a second sensor (30) configured to sense an instantaneous speed of the vehicle;
a timer (40) configured to measure a turn off time of a turn signal;
a processing subsystem (50) operatively coupled to the first sensor (20), the second sensor (30) and the timer (40), and configured to:
tune an initial turn angle to a reference turn angle value upon activating a turn signal;
tune a turn off time to a reference turn off time value upon activating a turn signal;
compare the turn off time with a threshold turn off time;
compare the instantaneous speed with a speed threshold based on a sensed instantaneous speed received from the second sensor;
compute a turn angle difference between the initial turn angle and an instantaneous turn angle based on a sensed turn angle received from the first sensor;
compare the turn angle difference with a threshold turn angle;
update the turn off time based on a compared turn angle and a compared turn speed; and
deactivate the turn signal when the turn off time is equal to the threshold turn off time.

The turn indication system (10) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the vehicle comprises a two-wheeler.
The turn indication system (10) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the first sensor (20) comprises an accelerometer or a speedometer.
The turn indication system (10) as claimed in claim 1, wherein the second sensor (30) comprises a gyroscopic sensor or a steering angle sensor.
The turn indication system (10) as claimed in claim 11, wherein the turn angle comprises a yaw angle.
A method (200) for operating a turn indication system of a vehicle comprising:
tuning an initial turn angle to a reference turn angle value upon activating a turn signal; (220)
tuning a turn off time to a reference turn time value upon activating a turn signal; (230)
comparing the turn off time with a threshold turn off time; (240)
comparing an instantaneous speed with a speed threshold; (250)
computing a turn angle difference between the initial turn angle and an instantaneous turn angle; (260)
comparing the turn angle difference with a threshold turn angle; (270)
updating the turn off time based on a compared turn angle and a compared turn speed; (280) and
deactivating the turn signal when the turn off time is equal to the threshold turn off time. (290)

The method (200) as claimed in claim 6, further comprising updating the turn off time based on a first function of speed prior to comparing the turn off time with the threshold turn off time.
The method (200) as claimed in claim 6, wherein comparing the instantaneous speed with the speed threshold comprises comparing the instantaneous speed with a first speed threshold if the turnoff time is greater than the threshold turn of time.
The method (200) as claimed in claim 8, further comprising comparing the instantaneous speed with a second speed threshold if the instantaneous speed is greater than the first speed threshold.
The method (200) as claimed in claim 6, wherein comparing the turn angle difference with the threshold turn angle comprises comparing the turn angle difference with a first turn angle threshold if the instantaneous speed is greater than a second speed threshold.
The method (200) as claimed in claim 6, wherein comparing the turn angle difference with the threshold turn angle comprises comparing the turn angle difference with a second turn angle threshold if the instantaneous speed is less than a second speed threshold.
The method (200) as claimed in claim 6, further comprising comparing the turn angle difference with one or more pre-determined turn limits to identify a correct turn or an incorrect turn after comparing the turn angle difference with the threshold turn angle.
The method (200) as claimed in claim 12, further comprising updating the turn off time based on a second function of speed upon identifying the incorrect turn.

The method (200) as claimed in claim 12, further comprising updating the turn off time to zero upon counting a pre-defined number of incorrect turns.
The method (200) as claimed in claim 12, wherein updating the turn off time based on the compared turn angle and the compared turn speed further comprises updating the turn off time based on a third function of speed upon identifying a correct turn.
