A method, and associated system and computer program product, for managing braking of a moving vehicle. A speed and deceleration of the moving vehicle are monitored. External and/or internal conditions relating to the moving vehicle and/or the vehicle's driver are detected. A hardware processor: calculates a braking distance for the moving vehicle for the detected external and/or internal conditions from the monitored speed and deceleration of the moving vehicle; determines a spacing distance between the moving vehicle and a second vehicle ahead of the moving vehicle; adds a cascading response distance to the calculated braking distance for a third vehicle ahead of the second vehicle; and determines that the calculated braking distance is greater than the determined spacing distance. An output is generated in response to the determination that the calculated braking distance is greater than the obtained spacing distance.

A novel wheel slip control device and method improve upon conventional anti-lock brake systems by providing a user interface device which allows the vehicle operator to manipulate the slip ratio threshold of the anti-lock brake system on demand as he or she executes a slide or drift maneuverthus preventing the system from interrupting the maneuver while also retaining the safety benefits of the anti-lock brake system during ordinary vehicle operation.

A system for multiple brakes intelligently controlled by a single brake input on a personal mobility vehicle. By determining a front and rear brake differential based on the position and weight of the rider as well as the environmental and vehicle conditions, the system may reduce the risk of the vehicle skidding or tipping due to over-braking. In some embodiments, a rider may use a single brake lever to indicate a desire to brake and the system may make determinations about how to apply a combination of mechanical and electrical brakes to front and back wheels. By applying different braking systems based on a combination of controls and sensors, the system may improve user experience and user safety, especially for inexperienced riders.

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 vehicle body control system, a control method of the vehicle body control system, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for performing the method may alleviate deterioration of steering performance of a vehicle when an electric power steering (EPS) system of the vehicle fails. The vehicle body control system includes a brake device configured to brake the vehicle, a detector configured to detect a failure of the EPS system, a steering sensor configured to detect an operation of a steering wheel of the vehicle to generate steering operation information, a controller configured to receive the steering operation information and generate a target yaw rate when the failure of the EPS system is detected, and control a brake device to generate a differential braking force required for the calculated target yaw rate.

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 driving assistance apparatus includes a control unit configured to, in a case where the control unit determines, based on radar target object information, that at least one target control object that is approaching so as to intersect with a predicted traveling path of the host vehicle is present, when a line of vision of the driver detected by a driver monitor device is not directed to the target control object that will reach the intersecting position at the earliest time, perform at least one of a host vehicle traveling suppression control (e.g., a brake hold control to prohibit the host vehicle from moving) and an attention seeking warning control to generate a warning sound so as to cause the driver to recognize that there is a warning sound source in a direction along which the target control object is approaching the host vehicle.

Disclosed is a control apparatus for a stopped state holding apparatus which can be switched between a holding state for holding a vehicle in a stopped state and a cancelled state in which the holding state is cancelled. The control apparatus includes a detection section for detecting a manipulation state of an operation section manipulated by an operator to switch the stopped state holding apparatus to the holding state or the cancelled state, and a control section for controlling operation of the stopped state holding apparatus on the basis of the detected manipulation state. In the case where the detection section detects a particular manipulation state in which a manipulation of the operation section for switching the stopped state holding apparatus continues for a predetermined period of time or longer, the control section controls the operation of the stopped state holding apparatus irrespective of the particular manipulation state.

A refuse vehicle includes a driveline configured to transport the refuse vehicle, a cab defining a cab opening configured to receive an operator of the refuse vehicle therein, one or more sensors configured to generate sensor data corresponding to at least one of the refuse vehicle or the operator, and one or more processing circuits. The one or more processing circuits are configured to acquire, from the sensors, the sensor data, determine, based on the sensor data, an operator of the refuse vehicle is at least one of exiting the cab opening or is positioned outside of the cab opening, determine, based on the sensor data, that the refuse vehicle is in a non-parking configuration, and operate the refuse vehicle to place the refuse vehicle in a parking configuration.

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to extend brake life cycle are disclosed herein. An example vehicle disclosed herein includes a first brake associated with a first wheel of the vehicle, a second brake associated with a second wheel of the vehicle, memory, a brake controller to execute instructions to detect a parking event, compare a temperature of at least one of the first brake or the second brake to a temperature threshold, in response to determining the temperature satisfies the temperature threshold engage the first brake for a first duration, disengage the first brake after the first duration, and engage the second brake for a second duration.
