Adaptive Modeling of Vehicle Mirror Vibrations by Predictive Compensation

The external and internal mirrors used particularly in high mass recreational and commercial vehicles are prone to vibrations. Under certain conditions, this leads to blurring of the reflected images above the tolerable levels for the human vision. While such vibrations are quite disturbing, they can compromise the driver’s safety on the road. An adaptive predictive system is designed to compensate for the mirror vibrations under different driving conditions. The realtime adaptive modeling of the vibrations using ARMA for the purpose of their prediction is reported.
