A system for controlling movement of a vehicle includes a user input device and computing system. The user input device dynamically controls a settings or balance of driving dynamics in a vehicle, and the user input device is configured to receive a manual input from a user. The computing system controls the settings of the vehicle driving dynamics and/or balance of the vehicle, the computing system is in data communication with the user input device and configured to change the driving dynamics balance proportionately to the manual input upon receiving an input command based on the manual input from the user input device.

A user input signal management method for a vehicle provided with a prime mover having an output that rotates and an input for a user input signal that controls the rotating speed of the output of the prime mover. The method including the reception of a signal representative of the position of a user input of a vehicle, the reception of data representative of at least one condition of the vehicle, the modification of the received signal representative of the position of the user input as a function of the data received and the supply of the modified signal to the accelerator input of the prime mover.

Methods and systems for analyzing vehicle operation data associated with a temporary or periodic usage of a vehicle by a driver. In aspects, the vehicle operation data may be analyzed to assess a performance of the driver during operation of the vehicle. Based on the performance of the driver, the driver may qualify for a reward.

Systems and methods are provided for autonomous vehicle passenger safety monitoring following an autonomous vehicle route. In particular, an autonomous vehicle waits for a selected time period after a passenger exits the vehicle. In some examples, the autonomous vehicle remains until the passenger has entered a building at the passenger's destination. In some examples, the autonomous vehicle remains until the passenger is no longer detectable by the vehicle's sensors. During the waiting period, the passenger may choose to re-enter the vehicle.

In a method for carrying out control procedures in a vehicle, a criticality indicator is calculated from various stability indicators. The criticality indicator is fed to at least two different controllers or at least two different sub-controllers of a controller of the vehicle in order for controller parameters to be established.

A work vehicle includes an engine, a transmission to change a received rotational force to a rotational force at a gear ratio that corresponds to a desired vehicle speed and output the changed rotational force, a first operating tool to change the rotation speed of the engine and a deceleration rate of the transmission, a rotation speed controller to control the rotation speed of the engine based on an input provided to the first operating tool, and a second operating tool to receive a holding instruction to hold the rotation speed of the engine constant. In response to the holding instruction being inputted to the second operating tool, the rotation speed controller is configured or programmed to disable control of the rotation speed of the engine which control is based on the input provided to the first operating tool, and hold the rotation speed of the engine constant in accordance with the holding instruction.

In a technique for vehicle control, a gesture due to a motion of a body part of an occupant of a vehicle is detected. The gesture is associated with an operation of an in-vehicle device provided in the vehicle. The in-vehicle device executes the operation associated with the gesture. The in-vehicle device executes position-specific operations that are different for respective positions in a vehicle cabin of the vehicle. The gesture requires a line motion of the body part. Different operations of the position-specific operations are associated with gestures detected as a common gesture according to a direction of trajectory deviation. The trajectory deviation is deviation of a trajectory of a line motion of the body part detected as the common gesture from a trajectory of the line motion required by the common gesture.

An apparatus includes: a first sensor configured to provide a first input; a second sensor configured to provide a second input; and a processing unit configured to receive the first input from the first sensor, and a second input from the second sensor; wherein the processing unit is configured to determine a first probability of a first predicted event, and a second probability of a second predicted event, wherein the first predicted event and the second predicted event are associated with an operation of the vehicle; and wherein the processing unit is configured to calculate a risk score based on the first probability of the first predicted event, and based on the second probability of the second predicted event.

A military vehicle includes a cab having a rear wall, a bed positioned behind the cab, and an energy storage system. The energy storage system includes a lower support coupled to the bed, a battery supported by the lower support, a bracket coupled to the batter, and an isolator mount coupling the bracket to the rear wall. The isolator mount is configured to provide front-to-back vibration isolation of the battery relative to the rear wall.

A driver state determination apparatus detects decline of the physical function of a driver and confirms an abnormal state before the driver becomes unable to drive. A vibration apparatus vibrates a steering wheel; a vibration detector detects vibration of the steering wheel; a steering angle sensor detects a steering angle of the steering wheel; and a controller controls the vibration apparatus. The controller provides vibration at a predetermined excitation frequency to the steering wheel by the vibration apparatus, calculates a steering torque level at the excitation frequency based on the vibration detected by the vibration detector, and determines that the driver is in an abnormal state when a correlation coefficient between a time variation of a steering torque level while the vibration is being provided and a time variation of a steering angle while the vibration is being provided is equal to or more than a predetermined value.
