A collection control unit is configured to collect the strain values on both sides of the axle housing of the vehicle body and the roll angle of the vehicle body, calculate a strain difference between the strain values according to the strain values on both sides of the axle housing of the vehicle body, and output a corresponding alarm control signal according to the strain difference between both sides of the axle housing of the vehicle body and the roll angle of the vehicle body. An alarm unit is configured to output a corresponding alarm signal according to the received alarm control signal.

A vehicle that includes: an input device that is configured to receive a user command from a user; and a controller that is configured to: obtain vehicle driving information, based on the vehicle driving information, control the vehicle to travel autonomously, determine whether the user command is inconsistent with the vehicle driving information, based on a determination that the user command is inconsistent with the vehicle driving information, determine to ignore the user command, in response to a determination to ignore the user command, control the vehicle based on the vehicle driving information without the user command, based on a determination that the user command is consistent with the vehicle driving information, determine to apply the user command, and in response to a determination to apply the user command, control the vehicle based on the vehicle driving information and the user command is disclosed.

A system may receive head pose indications determined according to movement data from a motion sensor of an optical head-mounted display worn by a vehicle driver, determine, according to the head pose indications, driver activity characteristics indicative of a history of movement of the head of the driver, and send the driver activity characteristics to a driver-aware vehicle system configured to adjust driver notification based on the driver activity characteristics. The system may also receive raw movement data from a motion sensor of an optical head-mounted display worn on a head of a vehicle driver, compute head velocity data based on the raw movement data, compute head displacement data based on the head velocity data, and update head pose indications indicative of head positioning upon determining that the head displacement data exceeds a predetermined threshold displacement.

A driver assistance system that may rapidly determine cutting out of a preceding vehicle based on lane information obtained from a camera, the driver assistance system includes: a first sensor mounted on a vehicle and configured to acquire front image data; a second sensor selected from a group comprising a radar sensor and a lidar sensor, mounted on the vehicle, and configured to acquire front detection data; and a controller configured to select a preceding vehicle as a target vehicle based on the front image data and the front detection data and control a speed of the vehicle to follow the target vehicle, wherein the controller is configured to: recognize a left land and a right lane of a driving lane based on the front image data, calculate a lateral speed of the preceding vehicle based on the front detection data, when a difference between a length of the left lane and a length of the right lane is greater than or equal to a preset value and the lateral speed of the preceding vehicle is greater than or equal to a preset speed, recognize the preceding vehicle as a cut-out vehicle, and recognize a preceding vehicle of the cut-out vehicle as the target vehicle.

A vehicular backup assist system includes an upper sensor disposed at a rear upper portion of a vehicle and sensing rearward of the vehicle at a height relative to ground of the rear upper portion of the vehicle, and a lower sensor disposed at a rear lower portion of the vehicle and sensing rearward of the vehicle at a height of the rear lower portion of the vehicle. The system, during a reversing maneuver of the vehicle, and via processing at an electronic control unit of sensor data captured by the upper and lower sensors, detects presence of objects rearward of the vehicle. During the reversing maneuver, the system, via processing of sensor data captured by the upper sensor, detects presence of an object at the height of the rear upper portion of the vehicle and alerts a driver of the vehicle of the detection of the object.

Provided is a weight estimation system (S) including: a change amount calculation device (2) which acquires a height of a loading platform (N) before loading a vehicle and a height of the loading platform (N) after loading the vehicle and calculates an amount of change between the heights of the loading platform (N) between before and after the loading; and a loaded weight estimation device (4) which estimates a loaded weight on the basis of a correlation between the amount of change and a loaded weight stored in advance.

A safety monitoring apparatus and method thereof for human-driven vehicle are provided. The safety monitoring apparatus includes a sensing unit, a processing unit, and a warning unit. The sensing unit and the warning unit are electrically connected to the processing unit, respectively. The sensing unit is arranged on a steering member of the human-driven vehicle and is used for sensing whether the steering member is in contact with a hand of a driver and generating a sensing signal accordingly. The processing unit determines whether the hand of the driver is placed on the steering member. The warning unit is used for generating a safety warning message. When the processing unit determines that the hand of the driver has not been placed on the steering member according to the sensing signal, the processing unit drives the warning unit to generate the safety warning message to warn the driver.

A method for operating an advanced driver assistance (ADAS) system of a motor vehicle includes a vehicle controller receiving, from side and end cameras mounted to the vehicle, camera signals indicative of real-time images of outboard-facing side and end views of the vehicle. The controller determines a region of interest (ROI) inset within each end/side view within which is expected foreign objects and/or hazards. These ROIs are analyzed to detect if a foreign object/hazard is present in the vehicle's end and/or side views. Responsive to detecting the foreign object/hazard, movement of the foreign object/hazard is tracked to determine if the foreign object/hazard moves towards or away from the vehicle's underbody region. If the foreign object/hazard moves to the underbody region, control signals are transmitted to the vehicle's propulsion and/or steering system to automate preventative action that prevents collision of the vehicle with and/or removes the foreign object/hazard from the underbody.
