The present disclosure relates to a resource allocation procedure for allocating time-frequency radio resources by a scheduler in a mobile communication system. A plurality of numerology schemes are defined, each partitioning a plurality of radio resources of the mobile communication system into resource scheduling units in a different manner. A reference resource set is defined per numerology scheme, each being associated to a set of radio resources usable for being allocated according to the respective numerology scheme. The reference resource set of at least one numerology scheme overlaps with the reference resource set of at least another numerology scheme in the frequency and/or time domain. The resource allocation procedure is performed for allocating radio resources to one or more user terminals according to the numerology schemes. The resource allocation procedure is performed for each numerology scheme based on a scheduling time interval defined for the respective numerology scheme.

A host vehicle includes a driver re-engagement assessment system and an X-by-wire device adapted for both manual control and automated control by an automated guidance system. The driver re-engagement assessment system includes a controller, a user interface, and test execution module and a test evaluation module. The user interface is configured to interface with an occupant and output an occupant directive signal for manual control to the controller. The test execution module initiates an occupant re-engagement test upon receipt of the occupant directive signal by the controller. The test evaluation module is configured to receive an occupant performance signal indicative of occupant performance during the re-engagement test, and evaluate the occupant performance signal to determine a test pass result and a test fail result. The manual control of the host vehicle is assumed by the occupant upon the determination of the test pass result.

A vehicle stop holding device for holding a stop of a vehicle includes a ECU for starting execution of a backup control for holding a stop state of the vehicle by a brake holding device when an operation of getting off the driver of the vehicle is detected while the vehicle is stopped by the brake device, and ECU outputs a brake operation request for requesting an operation of the brake device to the driver and releases the brake of the brake device when both a release operation of the seat belt by the driver of the vehicle and an opening operation which is an operation for opening the door are detected during a period from the start of the execution of the backup control until the completion of the completion.

The present disclosure relates to a safe driving support system based on a mobile Internet of Things (IoT) agent, and a processing method thereof. The safe driving support system based on a mobile IoT agent may provide an accident response service for preventing a traffic accident in advance by obtaining GNSS-based position information of each of vehicles, collecting various information on a driver's status and a vehicle driving status of the vehicle that is being driven in real time to construct big data, and analyzing and repeatedly learning the collected information. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide the ground for providing various services capable of decreasing traffic accidents by obtaining driving information of a short cycle using a GNSS platform and analyzing the driving information to apply the driving information to traffic safety and accident prevention activities.

A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive sensor data indicating a current position of an object, determine a predicted position of the object at a future time, and instruct a component of a vehicle to actuate based on the current position being in a first zone of a plurality of zones surrounding the vehicle and the predicted position being in a second zone of the plurality of zones different than the first zone. The zones are nonoverlapping and have preset boundaries relative to the vehicle.

A parking brake fail safety control system and method for a vehicle having an electric-axle, may enable safe parking braking on a level ground, a slope, etc. By controlling the torque from a first motor configured for a rear wheel-first electric-axle and the torque from a second motor configured for a rear wheel-second electric-axle to have the same magnitude in opposite directions and by increasing/decreasing the torque from the first motor and the torque from the second motor, depending on a change of wheel speed when a parking brake fails.

A method for controlling a driver assistance system is provided, as is a corresponding driver assistance system and a computer program product.

A target acceleration/deceleration setting unit (28) of a vehicle acceleration/deceleration controller (16) sets a target acceleration or deceleration at a location at which a curve starts to be a predetermined maximum deceleration, sets a target acceleration or deceleration at a location at which the curve ends to be a predetermined maximum acceleration, sets a target acceleration or deceleration at a predetermined intermediate location between the location at which the curve starts and the location at which the curve ends to be zero, and sets a target deceleration D (Ld) at a location to which the travelling distance from the location at which the curve starts is Ld and a target acceleration A (La) at a location to which the travelling distance from the predetermined intermediate location is La to satisfy respective predetermined relations.

A vehicle safety device (200) for preventing an unoccupied vehicle moving uncontrollably. The device comprises a control module (201) and a brake module (203). The device (200) is configured to detect when a driver leaves said vehicle. The device (200) is also configured to activate, through the brake module (203), a braking system when the device detects that said driver has left the vehicle. The device may improve the safety of a vehicle in which it is fitted. A system (300) comprising the device (200) and a vehicle (400) comprising the system (300) are also described. A method of preventing an unoccupied vehicle moving is also described. The device, system, vehicle and method are particularly useful for preventing accidents in large commercial vehicles caused by a driver leaving the vehicle without engaging a parking brake.

An emergency controller includes an emergency stop switch to be activated upon detection of an emergency, a control section to be enabled upon activation of the emergency stop switch, and an emergency stop mechanism configured to execute and release braking by a brake mechanism under control of the control section. The control section is configured to perform execution control for causing the emergency stop mechanism to execute braking by the brake mechanism and for stopping operation of the engine upon the condition that the emergency stop switch is activated while the engine is in operation. The control section is configured to perform restoration control for causing the emergency stop mechanism to release the braking by the brake mechanism upon the condition that the emergency stop switch is deactivated and the engine is started.
