A control device includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to perform autonomous driving of a vehicle to autonomously control at least a vehicle speed so that the vehicle speed follows a preset target vehicle speed; store a relationship between the vehicle speed and noise that is generated by a vehicle part rotated in association with running of the vehicle; determine, based on the relationship, whether the noise is equal to or larger than a preset determination threshold when the vehicle runs at the target vehicle speed; and when the electronic control unit determines that the noise is equal to or larger than the determination threshold, determine a vehicle speed at which the noise is lower than the determination threshold, and change the target vehicle speed to the vehicle speed at which the noise is lower than the determination threshold.

A vehicle may include a speaker; a display; a plurality of microphones configured to receive sound waves outside the vehicle; and a controller connected to the speaker, the display, and the plurality of microphones, and configured to determine sound wave characteristics of a terrain around a road on which the vehicle travels, based on map information, to determine a direct wave and a reflected wave of the received sound waves based on the terrain, the determined sound wave characteristics of the terrain, and the received sound waves, to determine a position and a velocity of an object that has generated the received sound waves based on the direct wave and the reflected wave, and to control at least one of the speaker and the display to output information on the position and the velocity of the object.

A system and method in a building or vehicle for an actuator operation in response to a sensor according to a control logic, the system comprising a router or a gateway communicating with a device associated with the sensor and a device associated with the actuator over in-building or in-vehicle networks, and an external Internet-connected control server associated with the control logic implementing a PID closed linear control loop and communicating with the router over external network for controlling the in-building or in-vehicle phenomenon. The sensor may be a microphone or a camera, and the system may include voice or image processing as part of the control logic. A redundancy is used by using multiple sensors or actuators, or by using multiple data paths over the building or vehicle internal or external communication. The networks may be wired or wireless, and may be BAN, PAN, LAN, WAN, or home networks.

Example systems and methods are disclosed for implementing vehicle operation limits to prevent vehicle load failure during vehicle teleoperation. The method may include receiving sensor data from sensors on a vehicle that carries a load. The vehicle may be controlled by a remote control system. The load weight and dimensions may be determined based on the sensor data. In order to prevent a vehicle load failure, a forward velocity limit and an angular velocity limit may be calculated. Vehicle load failures may include the vehicle tipping over, the load tipping over, the load sliding off of the vehicle, or collisions. The vehicle carrying the load may be restricted from exceeding the forward velocity limit and/or the angular velocity limit during vehicle operation. The remote control system may display a user interface indicating to a remote operator the forward velocity limit and the angular velocity limit.

A longitudinal driver assistance system is provided in a motor vehicle. A first detection system identifies a first event which, starting from an actual speed, leads to the specification of an increased target speed at a predefined location-dependent first moment in time, and for identifying a subsequent second event which, starting from the increased target speed, leads to the specification of a target speed that is reduced in relation thereto at a predefined location-dependent second moment in time. A second detection system identifies, in an anticipatory manner, a predefined deceleration potential starting from the increased target speed to the reduced target speed. A functional unit reduces the acceleration to the increased target speed if, otherwise, the subsequent deceleration to the reduced target speed with the predefined deceleration potential cannot be completed at the location-dependent moment in time of the second event.

The abnormality determination unit of a motorcycle determines the presence or absence of abnormalities in a clutch switch and/or a cruise cancel switch on the basis of the clutch operation signal output from the clutch switch and the cruise cancel signal output from the cruise cancel switch.

An apparatus for performing driving aid control to cause a travel trajectory of a mobile object to follow a setpoint trajectory (La) by transmitting a control command value (δ) to a yaw moment controller capable of controlling a yaw moment of the mobile object. In the apparatus, a setpoint trajectory setter is configured to set the setpoint trajectory (La) of the mobile object. A control command value calculator is configured to calculate the control command value (δ) based on an integrated value (δI) of a lateral error that is an error between a position of the mobile object and the setpoint trajectory. The control command value calculator is further configured to decrease the integrated value (δI) with decreasing a curvature (ρ) of a road on which the mobile object is traveling.
