AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION OF A FOG PROTECTION SYSTEM ONBOARD A VEHICLE

A method is provided that includes a number of operations performed in real-time during operation of a vehicle. That is, the method may include detecting fog on an interior surface of the window (124, 126) using one or more sensors (120) according to a process, and automatically activating a fog pro...

Zusammenfassung:	A method is provided that includes a number of operations performed in real-time during operation of a vehicle. That is, the method may include detecting fog on an interior surface of the window (124, 126) using one or more sensors (120) according to a process, and automatically activating a fog protection system (132) to reduce or prevent fog on the interior surface of the window (124, 126) in an instance in which fog is detected according to the process. For each sensor (120), the process may include receiving a measurement from the sensor (120). And from the measurement, the process may include identifying or calculating a dew-point temperature in a compartment (102) of the vehicle including the window (124, 126) to an exterior thereof, and detecting fog on the interior surface of the window (124, 126) in an instance in which the dew-point temperature is near, at, or above a surface temperature of the interior surface of the window (124, 126).
