Driving support ECU transmits a communication connection request to a help net center HNC when a driver of a vehicle has been determined to be in an abnormal state where the driver loses an ability to drive the vehicle, and when the communication connection to the help net center HNC has been established, the driving support ECU transmits the help signal (the positional information of the vehicle) and decelerates the vehicle at a constant deceleration to make the vehicle stop. On the other hand, when the communication connection to the help net center HNC has not been established, the driving support ECU makes the vehicle travel at a constant speed. Accordingly, it is possible to make the vehicle stop under a situation where the help net center HNC recognizes the vehicle position inside which the driver who has been determined to be in the abnormal state is.

Disclosed is an adaptive autonomous emergency braking (AEB) control method. An adaptive AEB control method includes identifying a front vehicle to be avoided on the basis of front-view information acquired through a front-view sensor, setting a steering avoidable area on the basis of speed information and lateral acceleration information of a host vehicle, adaptively determining an AEB activation time point on the basis of whether a vehicle is present in the set steering avoidable area, and controlling AEB activation on the basis of the adaptively determined AEB activation time point.

Disclosed are an EPB compatible with an autohold function, a starting method and a vehicle. According to the EPB, during starting, by converting the vehicle from a brake state where the EPB acts into a brake state where an autohold function acts and enabling the vehicle to start from the brake state where the autohold function acts, the vehicle is started stably, the starting noise of the vehicle is reduced and the driving experience is improved.

A method includes ascertaining that an emergency braking operation of a single-track motor vehicle is to be automatically executed driver independently, and based on the ascertainment, automatically and driver-independently influencing a steering element of the motor vehicle during the execution of the emergency braking operation.

A hydraulic valve assembly for a work vehicle includes a fan and brake function module. A first pump supplies hydraulic pressure to a fan circuit and to first and second service brake circuits of the vehicle. A second pump supplies hydraulic pressure to a steering and work function module that in turn supplies hydraulic pressure to a steering circuit and a work function circuit of the vehicle. The hydraulic valve assembly may also include a work control module and an auxiliary module. The modules of the hydraulic valve assembly are separably connected together via interface surfaces.

A method for braking an electric vehicle in which a first axle of an electric vehicle is decelerated by an electric motor of the electric vehicle and/or by a friction brake system of the electric vehicle.

A brake booster system for assisting a braking operation of a motor vehicle having a brake booster is provided. The brake booster system may include a pressure piston of a brake master cylinder, an actuating element which is configured for deflecting the pressure piston, and a brake booster which is divided into two chambers by way of a diaphragm, the first chamber is connected to the pressure piston and has a pressure p1 and the second chamber is connected to the actuating element and has a pressure p2. Furthermore, in the brake booster system, there is a pressure build up apparatus which is configured to raise the pressure p2 above the pressure p1 by way of said pressure build up apparatus.
