A driveline for a military vehicle includes a driver. The driver includes a housing, a motor/generator, and a clutch. The housing includes an engine mount configured to couple to an engine and a backing plate configured to couple to a transmission. The motor/generator is disposed within the housing and configured to couple to an input of the transmission. The clutch is disposed within the housing and coupled to the motor/generator. The clutch is configured to selectively couple an output of the engine to the motor/generator. The clutch is spring-biased into engagement with the engine and pneumatically disengaged by an air supply selectively provided thereto.

A drive mode switch control device acquires operation information. The drive mode switch control device switches a drive state among at least an autonomous drive state, a manual drive state, and a coordination drive state. The operation detection unit detects a first operation and a second operation based on the operation information when the drive state is not in the manual drive state. The second operation is the drive operation different from the first operation and input after the input of the first operation. The drive mode switch control device switches the drive state from the autonomous drive state to the coordination drive state based on a detection determination of the first operation. The drive mode switch control device switches the drive state from the coordination drive state to the manual drive state based on a detection determination of the first operation.

A driving load estimation apparatus can estimate the driving load of individual drivers in accordance with the driving environment. The driving load estimation apparatus can include a first VACP calculator configured to calculate a first VACP value based on information related to a driving environment of a vehicle and a correction value calculator configured to calculate a VACP correction value of each driver based on a steering operation in the driving environment. The driving load estimation apparatus estimates a driving load of the driver by correcting the first VACP value based on the VACP correction value.

An engine control device for an industrial vehicle includes a seating detector configured to detect a seating state of a driver relative to a driver seat, a neutral detector configured to detect whether a direction operating member of the industrial vehicle is positioned in a neutral position, a fuel supply member configured to supply a fuel to the engine, a first controller configured to stop an output of a driving force from the engine when the seating detector detects that the driver is away from the driver seat, and a second controller configured to restart the output of the driving force from the engine in case that the seating detector detects that the driver is seated on the driver seat and the neutral detector detects that the direction operating member is positioned in the neutral position, after the first controller stops the output of the driving force from the engine.

An apparatus and a method for controlling the output of driver information to a driver of a vehicle, with the objective of entertaining the driver and/or the passengers of the vehicle and/or increasing the driver attentiveness of the driver. A database of points of interest or objects of general interest, a database of topographic information, a device for determining the whereabouts of the vehicle, and an evaluation device to which these information items are delivered, are provided. The evaluation device ascertains, from the current whereabouts of the vehicle and from the topographic information, which points of interest or objects of general interest are present in the driver's field of view, and outputs via an output device the driver information regarding the point of interest or the object of general interest which has been ascertained by the evaluation device to be located in the driver's field of view.

An automatic driving system includes an electronic control device configured to: detect a driving operation input amount during an automatic driving control for a vehicle; determine whether the driver is able to start manual driving during the automatic driving control for the vehicle; output a signal for performing switching from automatic driving to the manual driving based on a result of a comparison between the driving operation input amount and a driving switching threshold that is a threshold for the switching from the automatic driving to the manual driving; set the driving switching threshold to a first driving switching threshold when it is determined that the driver is able to start the manual driving; and set the driving switching threshold to a second driving switching threshold exceeding the first driving switching threshold when it is determined that the driver is not able to start the manual driving.

A gesture recognition and control device recognizes a mobile terminal and ascertains a current graphical user interface generated by a display device of the mobile terminal. The gesture recognition and control device provides an output signal describing, as display content, the graphical user interface generated by the display device of the mobile terminal, and transmits the output signal to an output apparatus that can be worn on the head for outputting the display content in a predefined output region in the interior of the motor vehicle as part of augmented reality or virtual reality output by the output apparatus. During the process of outputting the display content, the gesture recognition and control device recognizes a spatial gesture of the user, generates a remote control signal for triggering an operating function of the mobile terminal, and transmits the remote control signal to a control device of the recognized mobile terminal.

A brake control apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a braking device configured to generate a braking pressure based on a hydraulic pressure to provide a main braking force to a vehicle; and a controller configured to control at least one control module selected based on the speed of the vehicle among a plurality of control modules including an engine control module (EMS) of the vehicle, a motor control module and a parking brake control module to provide an auxiliary braking force to the vehicle when the braking device is in an abnormal state.

An apparatus for controlling autonomous driving may include: a travel detection unit configured to detect travel environment and travel conditions of a host vehicle that is in an autonomous driving state; an autonomous-driving control unit configured to control the autonomous driving of the host vehicle based on the travel environment and the travel conditions detected by the travel detection unit, and predict physical abnormalities occurring in a passenger of the host vehicle due to the autonomous driving of the host vehicle; and an interface control unit configured to generate vehicle operation contents of the host vehicle for alleviating the predicted physical abnormalities, when the passenger's physical abnormalities are predicted by the autonomous-driving control unit, and then to provide the generated vehicle operation contents for the passenger.

According to an embodiment, a vehicle control device includes a recognizer configured to recognize a surrounding environment of a vehicle and recognize a locking state of the vehicle and a driving controller configured to perform driving control of one or both of a speed and steering of the vehicle on the basis of a recognition result of the recognizer. The driving controller causes the vehicle to depart when a door of the vehicle is locked after an occupant of the vehicle gets out of the vehicle in a predetermined area in a state in which predetermined conditions are satisfied.
