Wind monitoring system for a vehicle

Abstract

A computer-implemented method when executed by data processing hardware causes the data processing hardware to perform operations. The operations include defining, via a plurality of ultrasonic sensors, a plurality of detection zones, capturing, via the plurality of ultrasonic sensors, wind data from one or more of the plurality of detection zones, and determining, via a wind monitoring application, a wind direction and a wind magnitude based on the wind data. The operations also include receiving, at the wind monitoring application, weather data, executing, via the wind monitoring application, a fusion function on the wind data, the weather data, and vehicle dynamics to define fused wind data, executing, based on the fused wind data, a crosswind assist function of the wind monitoring application, and executing, via the wind monitoring application, lateral controls of the crosswind assist function.
