Dynamic resource allocation among different OFDM numerology schemes
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.
Vehicle brake control device
A vehicle brake control device including a front wheel speed acquisition section, a rear wheel speed acquisition section, a front wheel acceleration calculation section, a rear wheel acceleration calculation section, a front wheel anti-lock brake control section capable of executing an anti-lock brake control for the front wheel, a vehicle acceleration acquisition section, and a bad road determination section configured to determine whether or not a running road surface is a bad road based on the front wheel acceleration or the rear wheel acceleration. The bad road determination section executes a bad road determination by selectively using one of the front wheel acceleration and the rear wheel acceleration at least based on information on whether or not the anti-lock brake control for the front wheel is executed and the vehicle acceleration.
Method for decelerating a trailer vehicle, wheel module for performing the method and vehicle combination having a wheel module of this type
A method for decelerating a trailer vehicle in a vehicle combination having a tractor vehicle and at least one trailer vehicle includes determining, by a wheel module at a respective wheel of the trailer vehicle, acceleration measurement values of the respective wheel, generating, by the wheel module, an information signal taking into account the acceleration measurement values of the respective wheel, and transmitting the information signal in a wireless fashion. The method further includes evaluating the acceleration measurement values and monitoring the acceleration measurement values with respect to a locking tendency of the respective wheel, and when an information signal of the wheel module is received, adjusting, by an electronic brake control unit, the trailer brake pressure taking into account the information signal.
MOTORCYCLE BRAKING ARRANGEMENT
A motorcycle braking arrangement comprising a brake lever (and/or brake pedal) defining a grasping or stepping surface, respectively, whereby a rider is able to apply pressure in order to produce a first analogue signal, a force-sensitive resistor (FSR) mounted on and/or in the surface and configured to produce a second analogue signal. In this manner, pressure applied to the grasping surface results in simultaneous production of the first and second signals, whereby a controller is configured to electronically correlate the second signal with the first. The arrangement also includes at least one servomechanism, which is arranged in signal communication with the controller and is configured to actuate a brake of the motorcycle according to the correlation between the first and second signals.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSESSING HEALTH OF BRAKE ROTORS
A system includes a brake torque request module, a brake control module, and a diagnostic module. The brake torque request module is configured to generate a brake torque request based on a brake pedal position during a braking event. The brake control module is configured to apply friction brakes on a wheelset of a vehicle to satisfy the brake torque request during the braking event. The wheelset includes less than all wheels of the vehicle. The diagnostic module is configured to detect a fault in a brake rotor on a wheel in the wheelset based on vehicle operating conditions measured during the braking event.
PARKING BRAKE FAIL SAFETY CONTROL SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE HAVING ELECTRIC-AXLE AND METHOD THEREOF
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.
BRAKING FORCE CONTROLLER AND VEHICLE
A braking force controller causes a first actuator unit to generate a target jerk when the target jerk is equal to or larger than a first jerk, causes the first actuator unit to generate the first jerk and a second actuator unit to generate a jerk obtained by subtracting the first jerk from the target jerk as an additional jerk when the target jerk is smaller than the first jerk and equal to or larger than the sum of the first jerk and a second jerk, and causes the first actuator unit to generate the first jerk and the second actuator unit to generate the second jerk as the additional jerk when the target jerk is smaller than the sum of the first jerk and the second jerk.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR OPERATING A BRAKE SYSTEM, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCT, BRAKE SYSTEM
A method for operating a brake system of a motor vehicle. The motor vehicle has a vehicle body and multiple wheels mounted relative to the vehicle body by a wheel suspension on the vehicle body. The vehicle body is capable of executing a pitching movement by the wheel suspension. The brake system has a wheel-individual wheel brake for at least some of the wheels. A pitch angle of the vehicle body is monitored, and the wheel brakes are actuated as a function of the acquired pitch angle. The pitch angle is calculated as a function of normal forces acting on the wheels.
METHOD FOR OPERATING A VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM, AND BRAKE SYSTEM
A method for operating a vehicle brake system, wherein the brake system has at least one friction brake and at least one regenerative brake. A defined switching pattern is specified for switching between a self-cleaning operating mode for cleaning the friction brake and a normal operating mode of the brake system. The method includes determining information describing the state of the at least one friction brake, determining the state of the at least one friction brake from the information, determining whether the state satisfies a specific switching criterion, and, if the self-cleaning operating mode is to be activated according to the switching pattern and the state of the friction brake does not satisfy the switching criterion, suppressing activation of the self-cleaning operating mode and maintaining the normal operating mode.
ASSISTING REVERSE DRIVING OF A COMBINATION
According to a method for assisting reverse driving of a combination (1), an actual value for a hitch angle of the combination (1) is determined by a computing unit (6) depending on sensor data generated by a hitch angle sensor. A hitch length of a trailer (3), given by a distance between a trailer body (11) and a hitch (7) of a vehicle (2), is determined depending on environmental sensor data of the combination (1). A collision value for the hitch angle is determined by the computing unit (6) depending on the hitch length, and the safety measure is triggered by the computing unit (6) depending on the actual value and the collision value for the hitch angle.
