Vehicular forward viewing image capture system
11951900 · 2024-04-09 · ·

A vehicular forward viewing image capture system includes an accessory module configured for attachment at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle. While the vehicle is traveling along a road, multiple frames of captured image data are processed at a data processor to determine movement of an object of interest present in a field of view of the CMOS image sensor. The vehicular forward viewing image capture system is provided with vehicle data via a vehicle communication bus. With the accessory module attached at the in-cabin side of the windshield of the vehicle, image data captured by the CMOS image sensor and vehicle data provided via the vehicle communication bus are processed. With the accessory module attached at the in-cabin side of the windshield of the vehicle, captured image data is processed to determine a road condition of the road ahead of the equipped vehicle.

System and method for automatically controlling vehicle speed based on track-related temperatures of a work vehicle

A method for automatically controlling vehicle speeds of a track-based work vehicle may generally include receiving, with a computing device, one or more signals associated with an operating temperature for a track component of a track assembly of the track-based work vehicle, comparing, with the computing device, the operating temperature for the track component to a predetermined temperature threshold defined for the track component and automatically limiting, with the computing device, a vehicle speed of the track-based work vehicle when the operating temperature for the track component exceeds the predetermined temperature threshold.
