[0001] The present subject matter relates to a motor vehicle. More particularly, the present subject matter relates to ride mode based idle start stop for the motor vehicle.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Conventionally, most of vehicles are propelled by an internal combustion engine which uses fossil fuels as a source of energy. The gases formed by combustion of the fossil fuels within the internal combustion engine are exhausted from such vehicles to the atmosphere, which leads to increased air pollution, emission in the atmosphere.
[0003] With ever increasing number of vehicles used for personal transport and its contribution to the pollution of environment in terms of emission, evaporative emissions also add to the pollution in terms of unburnt and burnt hydrocarbons. There is a constant drive from manufacturers to bring down the extent of emissions by controlling fuel consumption in the automotive sector while maintaining mileage of the vehicle. In this regard, tremendous technological transformation has taken place over the years.

[0004] The detailed description is described with reference to a passenger transport layout of a straddle type two wheeled vehicle along with the accompanying figures. The same numbers are used throughout the drawings to reference like features and components.
[0005] Fig.1 is a side view of a motor vehicle as per one embodiment of the present invention.
[0006] Fig.2 is a block diagram of a system as per one embodiment of the present invention.
[0007] Fig. 3 is a flowchart as per one embodiment of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0001] The arena of technology pertaining to transportation has undergone a tremendous transformation over the years, such that the present concentration is focused upon the efficiency, increased convenience for riders etc. Simultaneously, there has also been need in the industry to provide advantageous vehicles that ensures optimization of fuel consumption for reduced emission in atmosphere. In this regard, technological transformation like idle start stop (ISS), providing different ride modes for convenience of the riders and optimizing fuel consumption as per requirement in the vehicle, has taken place over the years.
[0002] The idle start stop is a condition in the vehicle which increases fuel economy and decreases emission. The condition turns off a power train, for example an engine, when the vehicle stops at a stop light or during stop and go traffic where the vehicle would normally idle for a minimum number of seconds. The engine is then automatically restarted when the driver is ready to proceed. An electronic control unit determines an appropriate time to turn off the engine based on data from various sensors. This reduces the emissions by 5% to 10%.
[0003] The idle start stop automatically shuts down and restarts a power train, for example, an engine, to reduce amount of idling time of the engine, as a result reducing fuel consumptions and emissions of a vehicle. This is widely believed to be trending upward, with most automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) offering this condition at varying timeframes and rates of introduction. Further, the Idle start stop is configured in the vehicle and is accessible by a separate switch provided on a handle bar assembly in case of two wheelers or three wheelers or near steering system in case of four wheelers.
[0004] There are two main types of the idle start stop: (a) energy storage system (ESS) re-start and (b) combustion re-start. The ESS re-start uses electrical energy from an ESS (either a standard 12-V starting/lighting/ignition battery or an additional ESS) to start the engine. ESS restart is commonly configured in the mild and complete hybrid systems.
[0005] The combustion restart requires a precise control of a piston stop position when the engine is turned off, as well as an optimal initial position of the piston to which a precise amount of fuel for ignition and engine restart is provided. The combustion restart reportedly starts the engine more quickly than with the ESS restart alone.
[0006] Further, different ride modes for example, economy mode, power mode, are provided in the vehicle. The economy mode is also defined as controller efficiency mode. The eco driving mode fully optimizes the fuel consumption. It maximizes the vehicle’s fuel economy by adjusting the engine and transmission’s operating parameters. The Economy mode improves the vehicle mileage for both city and highway travel with a slight decrease in a power output. With highly optimized efficiency, this driving mode delivers eco-friendly driving experience and great fuel economy. The power mode is defined as a mode in which vehicle has sportier characteristics. The mode selection is provided on the handle bar assembly in the vehicle with a separate switch, such that the rider may select the desired mode as per the requirement.
[0007] Thus, it is apparent from above paragraph that configuring the idle start stop and different riding modes individually in the vehicle helps in optimizing the fuel consumption and reduced emission in the atmosphere. However, individual configuration of the idle start stop in the vehicle and ride modes in the vehicle has its own disadvantages. For idle start stop, the rider has to shift a gear lever in neutral position for switching the engine ON/OFF. This leads to problem, for example, the rider has to be always conscious to shift the lever in neutral for making idle start stop to be functional, thus reduces convenience for the rider. Further, as the ride mode and the idle start stop is configured separately in the vehicle with separate switches, this leads to increased cost of the vehicle, compromises with rider’s convenience etc. Thus, there is a need of providing the idle start stop when working along with the ride mode in the vehicle.
[0008] In known art, an idle start stop is disclosed which stops the engine when speed of the vehicle is equal to or near to zero and a gear shift lever is in neutral position.
[0009] In another known art, an idle start stop is disclosed where the idle stop system is activated when a gear shift lever is in neutral position.
[00010] Thus, it is apparent from the above mentioned paragraph that state of art configures idle start stop in the vehicle which is accessible with a switch and is dependent on a state of transmission system. Also, the ride mode condition in the vehicle is accessible with a different switch. Hence, synergy of the combination of the idle start stop irrespective of the state of transmission system and ride mode of the vehicle in a single switch remains a challenge.
[00011] Thus, there remains a need for synergistic working of the idle start stop, irrespective of the state of transmission system, and ride mode of the vehicle which is accessible through a single switch, where idle start stop is enabled in a ride mode as selected by rider through the switch, so as to provide comfort to the rider while optimizing fuel consumption in the vehicle.
[00012] Hence, there exists a challenge of accessing a ride mode and idle start stop through a single switch for being synergistically engaged while optimizing fuel consumption in the vehicle without compromising the comfort of the rider.
[00013] Therefore, there is a need to have synergistically engaged idle start stop and ride mode of the vehicle in a single switch, where the idle start stop and ride mode of the vehicle work synergistically and overcome all of the above problems and other problems known in the art.
[00014] The present invention provides a solution to the above problems while meeting the requirements of minimum modifications in the energy storage device at low cost with ease of mode shifting.
[00015] With the above objectives in view, the present invention discloses synergistically engaged idle start stop and ride mode of the vehicle in a single switch of the vehicle, as per one aspect of the present invention.
[00016] As per one aspect of the present invention, a system configured with ride mode based idle start stop is disclosed. As per one aspect of the present invention, the system includes a controller, an instrument cluster, a switch, a power supply for supplying power to the components, sensors. When the vehicle starts, a rider manually selects the ride mode of the vehicle through the switch. The ride mode as selected by the rider is displayed on the instrument cluster. Further, the instrument cluster is communicatively connected to the controller of the vehicle. The controller receives and analyzes inputs, for example, ride mode of the vehicle, speed of the vehicle through vehicle sensor, position of throttle through throttle position sensor, engine temperature through temperature sensor. The controller determines whether ISS enabling and idle stop condition is satisfied. If the controller finds out that the conditions are satisfied, then the controller turns engine in OFF state with means like actuators. Further, as per one aspect of the present invention, after communicating idle stop condition, the controller further determines whether idle start condition is satisfied. If the controller finds out that the idle start condition is satisfied, the controller turns the engine in ON state. This configuration ensures optimizing fuel consumption in the vehicle thus reducing emission in the atmosphere. This configuration also eliminates need of additional switch to activate ISS mode and ride mode separately in the vehicle.
[00017] The present paragraph elaborates methodology for enabling ISS condition, idle stop condition, idle start condition based on ride mode of the vehicle. As per one aspect of the present invention, after the vehicle starts, then, the controller determines whether idle start stop enabling condition is satisfied. The idle start stop enabling conditions include engine and vehicle parameters, for example, temperature of engine, throttle input, engine speed, time at which the engine is in idling state. In one case, the idle start stop is enabled when the engine is in prolonged idling condition. More precisely, in a scenario, when the rider has started the vehicle and the vehicle is in idle state for a predetermined time, and then the idle start stop of the vehicle is enabled. If the controller determines that the idle start stop enabling condition is satisfied, then, the controller further determines that whether ride mode of the vehicle is in economy mode or power mode, from an input provided by the switch disposed on the handle bar assembly. In another implementation, the ride modes may be comfort mode, sports mode etc. If the controller determines that the ride mode is the economy mode, then, the controller communicates turning ON the idle start stop lamp to indicate/communicate to the rider about enabling ISS condition.
[00018] Further, after communicating the ISS enabling condition to the rider, the controller determine whether idle stop condition is satisfied, i.e, whether the throttle input, vehicle speed is smaller than a predetermined throttle input, predetermined vehicle speed as stored in the lookup table of the controller. If the controller finds out that the idle stop condition is satisfied, then, the controller further determines whether ride mode of the vehicle is in economy mode or power mode, from the input provided by the switch disposed on the handle bar assembly. If the controller finds out that the ride mode is the economy mode, then, the controller communicates it to the rider through various communication means, for example, blinking of ISS lamp. Further, as per one aspect of the present invention, a stop timer is activated and the controller determines whether the timing of the stop timer is equal to a predetermined value of the timer as stored in the lookup table of the controller, where the predetermined value of the timer is for example, 5 sec. If the controller determines that the time of the stop timer is smaller as compared to a predetermined value of the stop timer, then, the controller determines whether the ride mode is the economy mode or power mode. If the controller finds out that the ride mode is the power mode, that is, ISS disabled mode, then, the engine is retained in ON state and the stop timer in same state i.e. stopped until the ride mode gets changed to the economy mode. Once the ride mode is changed to the economy mode, the time of the stop timer resumes from where it has stopped earlier, thus eliminating need of checking the condition for idle stop from beginning, hence enhancing working of the system. In another case, if the ride mode is selected as power mode and the rider has provided throttle to the vehicle, therefore, in that case, the idle stop condition gets checked from initial stage. Further, if the controller finds out that the time of the stop timer is equal to the predetermined value of the timer as stored in the lookup table of the controller, then, the controller further determines ride mode of the vehicle. If the controller finds out that the ride mode is the economy mode, that is, ISS enabling mode, then, the controller communicate switching OFF the engine and communicates it to the rider through various communication means for example, lamp ON state. Thus, more precisely, the enabling of ISS condition is provided in economy mode of the vehicle, that is, when the rider manually sets the ride mode of the vehicle in economy mode, then the ISS condition is enabled in the vehicle. However, when the ride mode is in power mode, the ISS condition is disabled.
[00019] Further, after communicating idle stop condition to the rider, then, the controller determines idle start condition. The controller anlayzes input provided by a clutch, break of the vehicle, throttle of the vehicle to determine idle start condition. If the idle start condition is satisfied, then, the controller further determines the ride mode of the vehicle. If the controller finds out that the ride mode of the vehicle is economy mode, then, the engine is turned ON and the controller communicates the rider through various communication means like turning lamp in OFF state. If the controller determines that the ride mode is a power mode, then the controller retains the engine in OFF mode and the controller communicates the rider through various communication means like turning ON a lamp. Further, if the ISS start condition is not satisfied, then, the controller determines the ride mode of the vehicle. If the controller finds out that the ride mode of the vehicle is the economy mode, then the controller again determines the idle start condition. However, if the controller finds out that the ride mode is the power mode, then the rider has to start the vehicle with alternate means like electric switch disposed in the vehicle. Further, once the engine is in ON condition and vehicle is started, the system again determines whether the ISS enabling condition is satisfied. Thus, the present invention is a closed loop system for activation of the ISS based on the ride mode of the vehicle.
[00020] More precisely, the aspects of the present invention provides advantages like a single switch is required to activate ride mode along with ISS condition, where the economy mode is ISS enable system and power mode is ISS disable system. Further, the ISS is activated in economy mode ensuring optimizing fuel consumption, reducing emission by turning OFF the engine and turning ON the engine as per the requirement. This system as disclosed also ensures reduction of components, additional wiring harness and also being cost effective.
[00021] In the ensuing paragraphs, the exemplary aspects, the vehicle is a two wheeled straddle type vehicle are disclosed. However, it is contemplated that the concepts of the present invention may be applied to any vehicle comprising a ride mode and ISS condition without defeating the spirit of the invention.
[00022] Further "front" and "rear", and "left" and "right" referred to in the ensuing description of the illustrated embodiment refer to front and rear, and left and right directions as seen in a state of being seated on a seat of the vehicle and looking forward. Furthermore, a longitudinal axis refers to a front to rear axis relative to the vehicle, while a lateral axis refers generally to a side to side, or left to right axis relative to the vehicle.
[00023] The present invention is now described briefly in connection with the rendered drawings. It should be noted that like elements are denoted by the same reference numerals throughout the description.
[00024] Fig. 1 is a right side view of an exemplary saddle type vehicle. The vehicle (100) has a frame assembly (not shown), which acts as a skeleton for bearing loads. Instrument cluster (119) is mounted on handle bar assembly (126). A switch (202) is assembled on the handle bar assembly (126), for manually selecting ride of the vehicle. The handle bar assembly (126) is disposed over the head tube (not labelled) and it includes brake levers (not shown). The handle bar assembly (126) is connected to a front wheel (129) by one or more front suspension(s) (130). A front fender (131) is disposed above the front wheel (129) for covering at least a portion of the front wheel (129). A fuel tank (103) is mounted to the main tube (not shown) of the frame (not shown) and it is disposed in the front portion F of a space of the frame (not shown). The vehicle (100) having lighting means which includes Head lamp (127), Tail lamp (not labelled), Turning indicators includes front side indicators (not labelled) and rear side indicator (not labelled) respectively. A rear fender (138) is projected outwardly of the vehicle systems and protects pillion from mud splash as well as to protect the rear wheel (133) from external components. A power unit (125) is mounted to the lower portion of the vehicle (100). In an embodiment, the power unit (125) is an IC engine. A mixture of fuel and air is channelized to a combustion chamber of the engine for combustion process through spark. A fuel injector channelises pressurized fuel to the chamber. To increase safety of the rider, it is ensured that if an injector is not connected, controller disables injection by the fuel injector when injector coupler is in disconnected state. The fuel tank (103) is functionally connected to the engine (125). The seat (132) is located at the back region of the fuel tank (103) and is extended in a longitudinal direction along the seat frames.
[00025] Fig. 2 is a block diagram for a system including ride mode based ISS system in the vehicle as per one embodiment of the present invention. As per one embodiment of the present invention, a system (200) configured with ride mode based idle start stop is disclosed. As per one embodiment of the present invention, the system (200) includes a controller (204), the instrument cluster (119), the switch (202), a power supply (201) for supplying power to the components, sensors (205). When the vehicle starts, a rider manually selects the ride mode of the vehicle through the switch (202). The ride mode as selected by the rider is displayed on the instrument cluster (119). Further, the instrument cluster (119) is communicatively connected to the controller (204) of the vehicle. The controller (204) receives and analyzes inputs, for example, ride mode of the vehicle, speed of the vehicle received through vehicle sensor, position of throttle through throttle position sensor, engine temperature through temperature sensor. The controller determines whether ISS enabling and idle stop condition is satisfied. If the controller determines that the conditions are satisfied, then the controller turns the engine in OFF state with means like actuators. Further, as per one embodiment of the present invention, after communicating idle stop condition, the controller further determines whether idle start condition is satisfied. If the controller determines that the idle start condition is satisfied, the controller turns the engine in ON state. This configuration ensures optimizing fuel consumption in the vehicle thus reducing emission in the atmosphere. This configuration also eliminates need of additional switch to activate ISS mode and ride mode separately in the vehicle.
[00026] Fig. 3 is a flowchart explaining ride mode based idle start stop enabling, idle stop and idle start condition, as per one embodiment of the present invention. As per one embodiment of the present invention, in step S301, after the vehicle starts, then, in step S302, the controller determines whether idle start stop enabling condition is satisfied. The idle start stop enabling conditions include parameters, for example, temperature of engine, throttle blip, engine speed, time at which the engine is in idling state. In one case, the idle start stop is enabled when the engine is in prolonged idling condition. More precisely, in a scenario, when the rider has started the vehicle and the vehicle is in idle state for a predetermined time, and then the idle start stop of the vehicle is enabled. If the controller determines at step S302 that the idle start stop enabling condition is not satisfied, then controller continues monitoring vehicle and engine parameters and checking the conditions for idle start stop condition to be satisfied. If the controller determines that the idle start stop enabling condition is satisfied, then in step S303, the controller further determines that whether ride mode of the vehicle is in economy mode or power mode, from an input provided by the switch disposed on the handle bar assembly. In another implementation, the ride modes may be comfort mode, sports mode etc. If the controller determines at step S303 that the ride mode condition is not a predefined ride mode condition, then controller continues monitoring ride mode condition for predefined ride mode condition to be satisfied. If the controller determines that the ride mode is a predefined ride mode condition e.g. an economy mode, then in step S304, the controller turns ON the idle start stop lamp or actuates a one or more output indicators e.g. a lamp to indicate/communicate the rider about enabling ISS condition being active.
[00027] Further, after communicating the ISS enabling condition to the rider, in S305, the controller determines whether idle stop condition is satisfied, i.e, whether one or more of the throttle input, vehicle speed is smaller than a predetermined throttle input, vehicle speed as stored in the lookup table of the controller. If the controller determines at step S305 that the idle stop condition is not met, then controller continues to keep the vehicle in ISS ON condition. If the controller determines that the idle stop condition is satisfied, then, in step S306, the controller further determines whether ride mode of the vehicle is in economy mode or power mode, from the input provided by the switch disposed on the handle bar assembly. If the controller determines that the ride mode is the economy mode, thus, in S307, the controller communicates the mode to the rider through various communication means, for example, blinking of ISS lamp. Further, as per one embodiment of the present invention, a stop timer is activated and in S308, the controller determines whether the time measured by the stop timer is equal to a predetermined value of the timer as stored in the lookup table of the controller, where the predetermined value of the timer is for example, 5 sec. If the controller determines that the time of the stop timer is smaller as compared to a predetermined value of the stop timer, then, in S309, the controller determines whether the ride mode is changed by the user i.e. economy mode or power mode. If the controller determines that the ride mode is a predefined ride mode e.g. the power mode, that is, ISS disabled mode, then, the engine will be retained in ON state and the stop timer be stopped and time count will not continue i.e. timer will be in same state till the ride mode gets changed to the economy mode. Once the ride mode is changed by the user to the economy mode, the time of the stop timer resumes from where it has stopped earlier, thus eliminating need of checking the condition for idle stop from beginning, hence enhancing working of the system. In another case at step S310, if the ride mode is selected as power mode and the rider has provided throttle to the vehicle, , in that case, the idle stop condition gets checked from initial stage by resetting the timer to zero. Further, if the controller determines at step S308 that the time of the stop timer is equal to the predetermined value of the timer as stored in the lookup table of the controller, then, in step S310, the controller further determines ride mode of the vehicle. If the controller determines that the ride mode is a predefined mode e.g. the economy mode, that is, ISS enabling mode, then, in S311, the controller switches OFF the engine and communicates switching OFF the engine and communicates it to the rider through various communication means for example, lamp ON state. Thus, more precisely, the enabling of ISS condition is provided in economy mode of the vehicle, that is, when the rider manually sets the ride mode of the vehicle in economy mode, the ISS condition is enabled in the vehicle. However, when the ride mode is in power mode, the ISS condition is disabled. As per an alternate embodiment, the economy mode and power mode may be represented or replaced by other modes implying a low torque mode and a high torque mode or a low power mode and a high power mode or a low emission mode and a high emission mode.
[00028] Further, after communicating idle stop condition to the rider, then, in step S313, the controller determines idle start condition. The controller anlayzes one or more input provided by a clutch, break of the vehicle, throttle of the vehicle to determine idle start condition. If the idle start condition is satisfied, then, in step S315, the controller further determines the ride mode of the vehicle being a predefined ride mode. In one implementation, if the ride mode condition is satisfied, the controller starts the engine in ISS start mode and turns brake lamp in OFF condition. If the controller determines at step S315 that the ride mode of the vehicle is economy mode, then, in S316, the engine is turned ON and in S317, the controller communicates the rider through various communication means like turning lamp in OFF state. If the controller determines at step S315, that the ride mode is a power mode, then the controller again continues monitoring the ride mode while retaining engine in an OFF state in ISS enabled condition. Further, if the ISS start condition is not satisfied, then, in S314, the controller continues monitoring the ride mode of the vehicle. If the controller determines at step S314 that the ride mode of the vehicle is the economy mode, then the controller again determines the idle start condition. However, if the controller deteremines that the ride mode is the power mode, then the rider has to start the engine with alternate means like electric switch (ES) disposed in the vehicle in predetermined time. In another implementation, the controller monitors the bounce timer for starting the engine. Once the engine is started with ES before a predetermined time, then no cranking of the engine within predetermined time is performed by ISS and ISS is disabled. Further, once the engine is in ON condition and vehicle is started, the system again determines at step S302 whether the ISS enabling condition is satisfied. Thus, the present invention is a closed loop system for activation of the ISS condition based on the ride mode of the vehicle.
[00029] More precisely, the aspects of the present invention provides advantages like a single switch is required to activate ride mode along with ISS condition, where the economy mode is ISS enable system and power mode is ISS disable system. Further, the ISS system is activated in economy mode ensuring optimizing fuel consumption, reducing emission by turning Off the engine and turning On the engine as per the requirement. This system as disclosed also ensures reduction of components, additional wiring harness and also being cost effective.
[00030] The invention helps in overcoming the problem of requirement of two separate switches to activate ride mode and ISS condition in the vehicle while enabling ISS condition of the vehicle irrespective of the state of the transmission components in the vehicle, optimizing fuel consumption and thus reduces emission
[00031] Advantageously, the embodiments of the present invention, describes the system including ride mode based ISS condition.
[00032] Many other improvements and modifications may be incorporated herein without deviating from the scope of the invention.
