The present disclosure relates to a vehicle and a method for controlling an emergency call therefor, and more particularly, to a vehicle capable of performing a more stable and reliable emergency call and a method for controlling an emergency call therefor. The method for controlling an emergency call for a vehicle according to an embodiment includes monitoring a sensor signal in an accident determination unit of a control unit; determining whether or not an airbag is deployed based on the sensor signal in the accident determination unit; requesting an automatic emergency call from the accident determination unit to an emergency call unit of the control unit if the airbag is deployed as a result of the determination; and attempting to transmit a call to an emergency rescue center in response to the request from the emergency call unit.

A visual warning assembly, configured to make a warning from one vehicle to another vehicle. The visual warning assembly has a case with a front face joined to a base and an antenna. A channel display window, a channel selector button, a power button, a green lighted button, a yellow lighted button and a red lighted button, arranged on the front face. A mounting ball is magnetically joined to the base. A microcontroller is electrically coupled to the green lighted button, the yellow lighted button, and the red lighted button. The microcontroller is programmed with instructions to: receive a communication from a second visual warning assembly. Then, engage one member of a lighted button set consisting of the red button, the yellow button, and the green button creating an indicating light. Finally, receiving a signal from a user making the indicating light an activated button.

A reduction device includes a housing defining an input chamber configured to receive exhaust from a power source, an output chamber, an exhaust channel configured to direct the exhaust from the input chamber to the output chamber, and a longitudinal axis. The reduction device also includes a treatment unit disposed in the exhaust channel and along the longitudinal axis. The treatment unit is configured to at least partly remove pollutant species from the exhaust. The reduction device also includes an attenuation component disposed in the housing and radially outward of the treatment unit. The attenuation component is fluidly connected to the exhaust channel, and is configured to attenuate a range of frequencies corresponding to operation of the power source. Additionally, the exhaust channel prohibits exhaust entering the input chamber from exiting the housing without passing through the treatment unit.

A method for displaying a horizontal distance of a motor vehicle from a lane boundary, comprising the following steps: determining the horizontal distance of the motor vehicle from the lane boundary; and projecting a numerical value by means of a headlight of the motor vehicle, wherein the numerical value depends on the determined horizontal distance, or projecting a marking, wherein a width of the marking depends on the determined horizontal distance.

A switch cap for a switch device that can reduce a pressing error of a switch is provided. A three-dimensional first cap main body moves by a force applied to a first abutting portion from a finger which is an operator. A first sensor is disposed in the first cap main body, and detects abutting or approach of the finger to the first abutting portion. A first transmission member is fixed to the inside of the first cap main body, and moves together with the first cap main body for first switching to transmit movement of the first cap main body to a push button which is a predetermined location of a switch device. A first sensor is formed in a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) disposed in the first cap main body, and the FPC is fixed by the first transmission member and the first cap main body.

A method for detecting load shift of cargo on a vehicle and/or a trailer during transport, wherein cargo is restrained to the vehicle and/or the trailer by one or more restraining components. The method includes obtaining sensor data of the one or more restraining components via one or more sensors, wherein the one or more sensors are arranged on the vehicle and/or the trailer, receiving the obtained sensor data in a controlling circuitry, comparing the received sensor data over time in the controlling circuitry in order to establish differences in the received sensor data, and determining in the controlling circuitry whether any established differences in the received sensor data meet or exceed a set threshold for the one or more restraining components, wherein the set threshold is indicative of movement in the one or more restraining components capable of allowing load shift of the cargo.
