Methods and systems for autonomously steering a moving vehicle are disclosed. A processor determines a longitudinal velocity, a longitudinal acceleration, a lateral acceleration, and a yaw rate of the vehicle. The processor estimates, based on the longitudinal velocity, lateral acceleration, and yaw rate of the vehicle, a change in lateral velocity over time. The processor estimates, based on the change in the lateral velocity over time, the yaw rate, a distance between the front axle of the vehicle and a center of gravity of the vehicle, and a distance between the rear axle of the vehicle and the center of gravity of the vehicle, a lateral front velocity of the vehicle and a lateral rear velocity of the vehicle. Using calculations, a state estimation model for the vehicle is updated by the processor using a lateral acceleration bias. The updated state estimation model is used to autonomously steer the vehicle.

Methods and systems are provided for aging a new plastic fuel tank in a vehicle. In one example, during a plug-in event to recharge a battery of the vehicle, the fuel tank is isolated and the fuel pump is actuated to agitate fuel within the tank and increase fuel vapors until the plastic fuel tank becomes aged to a predetermined degree by fuel vapors generated therein. In this manner, the fuel tank is aged more rapidly, resulting in more accurate fuel level readings and less noise and vibration.

A system for controlling a compressor may include an engine controller that controls a fuel injection amount corresponding to an engine load and an opening amount of a throttle by reflecting a required torque required for an air conditioner (A/C), an operation information detector for detecting operation information according to driving state of the vehicle, a compressor that generates pressure during operation of the A/C, an air conditioner relay which is turned on when the air conditioner operates and is turned off when the A/C is stopped, and a controller which determines an engine negative pressure of an intake manifold, and when the cooling water temperature is lower than the predetermined temperature and the intake manifold pressure is lower than the first threshold value, a cold-start intake manifold negative pressure insufficient event is generated to reduce the A/C duty in accordance with the entry into a negative pressure recovery mode.

The present invention provides a method and system of historical reaction based driver advanced assistance. In this method, a combination of external environment to a vehicle on which the advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) is mounted fetched by forward looking cameras is combined with rear looking camera for internal environment or driver state, is generated. The generated combination is utilized to analyze is there is any critical situation that is upcoming. For providing feedback for such situation, processor within the ADAS fetches current vehicle state by utilizing multiple parameters stored within a storage. The intensity of the feedback is varied upon the current vehicle state of the vehicle.

There is provided with a control apparatus. A first obtaining unit obtains position information of a vehicle. A first setting unit sets a remote operation permitted range of the vehicle on a basis of movement information of the vehicle in a first predetermined period based on the position information. A determination unit determines whether or not to restrict a remote operation input to the vehicle from an associated user terminal that is a user terminal associated with the vehicle on a basis of a stop position of the vehicle based on the position information and the remote operation permitted range. The movement information includes the position information of the vehicle and a visit situation to the position in the first predetermined period.

A control unit performs a lane departure suppression control when a host vehicle is about to depart from a traveling lane. The control unit determines whether a low impact collision has occurred. The control unit performs a secondary collision damage mitigation control when the low impact collision is determined to have occurred while the lane departure suppression control is being performed.

A device for determining an accident of personal mobility in real time, a system for rapidly identifying and coping with the accident, and a method for determining the accident of the personal mobility are provided. The device includes a sensor device that obtains at least one of an angle between the personal mobility and a ground, an amount of impact on the personal mobility, or a speed of the personal mobility, and a determination device that determines whether the accident of the personal mobility has occurred based on the at least one of the angle, the amount of impact, or the speed.
