A system for a vehicle includes a sensor configured to sense information associated with the vehicle's surroundings, environment and/or condition and output a sensor signal based on the sensed information, a processor configured to receive the sensor signal, determine haptic feedback for the system to display based on the sensor signal, and output a haptic control signal, and a haptic output device configured to receive the haptic control signal from the processor and generate the haptic feedback to a driver of the vehicle based on the haptic control signal.

A method for controlling a vehicle including an actuator along a trajectory, in which the trajectory is planned within a search space, and considers a projection of a manipulated variable of the actuator. The method includes creating an actuator model of the actuator on the basis of the manipulated variable of the actuator; defining time increments of the projection; determining the change in the manipulated variable of the actuator along the time increments on the basis of the actuator model and a limit value for the manipulated variable; limiting the search space on the basis of the limit value of the manipulated variable of the actuator; determining an acceleration value and/or a deceleration value of the vehicle by converting the manipulated variable using the vehicle mass and the wheel radius; and outputting the acceleration value and the deceleration value to limit the search space within which the trajectory is planned.

A method is described for operating a motor vehicle, in which control is applied, in the context of a drive-off operation, to an electrical machine operable in motor mode in order to deliver a torque driving the vehicle, control simultaneously being applied to a braking system of the motor vehicle in such a way that it applies a braking torque.

An on-vehicle control device mounted on a vehicle and controlling traveling of the vehicle includes a vehicle position error specifying unit that estimates a position error of the vehicle, a travel control continuity information determination unit that determines information relating to continuity of a travel control state of the vehicle based on the position error of the vehicle estimated by the vehicle position error specifying unit, and a travel control continuity information output unit that outputs the information relating to the continuity of the travel control state of the vehicle determined by the travel control continuity information determination unit.

Excess fuel consumption monitor and feedback systems for vehicles include sensor arrays of two primary types including those sensors deployed as part of a vehicle manufacturer established sensor suite and sensors deployed as after-market sensors. Together, these sensor suites include sensors coupled to vehicle subsystems and operating environments associated with the vehicle. Data from these sensors may be used as parametric inputs to drive algorithmic calculations which have outputs that express excess fuel consumption. Expressions of excess fuel consumption may be made instantaneously as real-time feedback to a vehicle operator/driver and/or a fleet manager as part of a summary report.

Provided is a vehicle including a curtain device; an inputter; a communicator configured to recognize current position information; and a processor configured to determine whether a current position is a position before entering a tunnel based on the current position information and map information, and upon determining that the current position is the position before entering the tunnel, control to open the curtain device, and configured to, in response to a selection command of an automatic light on/off mode for automatically turning on a lamp being received through the inputter, change an opening/closing mode of the curtain device to an automatic opening/closing mode, and upon the lamp being in an on-state, control opening of the curtain device.

A motor vehicle includes a driver assistance system having a display unit and an evaluation unit for generating and displaying a refueling and/or recharging message which is generated in dependence on and independently of a fuel tank filling level or a state of charge of a battery and can be displayed for a defined time period. The evaluation unit is configured to check for the presence of conditions which are to be predefined, and given the presence of at least one condition, to generate a refueling and/or recharging message and to output the refueling and/or recharging message via the display unit.

Provided is a vehicle control system capable of securing stability even in the event of a collision with a travel-path defining line such as a guardrail. The invention recognizes the travel-path defining line of a travel path from information about an area in a traveling direction of an ego vehicle, recognizes a traveling-direction virtual line extending from the ego vehicle in the traveling direction, and imparts a yaw moment control amount so that a formed angle between the traveling-direction virtual line and the travel-path defining line decreases after the ego vehicle collides with the travel-path defining line.

A data memory, a computing unit and a method for performing a function of a vehicle are described, wherein values of an item of information relating to predefined local areas of a digital map are taken into account when the function is performed, the values of the information being stored in the form of an expected value and a distribution of the values around the expected value.

A detection device detects a position at which a touch-sensitive operator control unit is touched by an object by detecting a pressure (p.sub.m) which is applied to the touch-sensitive operator control unit by the object at the position. In addition, a speed (v.sub.m) and/or an acceleration (a.sub.m) of the motor vehicle is detected and a pressure threshold value (p.sub.s) is predefined as a function of speed (v.sub.m) and/or accelerations (a.sub.m) of the motor vehicle. The method determines whether the detected pressure (p.sub.m) is higher than the predefined pressure threshold value (p.sub.s) and triggers a function (F), assigned to the detected position, of the motor vehicle exclusively if the detected pressure (p.sub.m) is higher than the predefined pressure threshold value (p.sub.s).
