A brake apparatus for a vehicle includes a brake and a processor configured to control the brake, and the processor is configured to receive a steering command including a steering direction from a steering apparatus of a vehicle, control the brake to provide a one-sided braking force to an inner wheel in the steering direction based on the receiving of the steering command, identify oversteering or understeering based on an output of a motion sensor of the vehicle, and control the brake to provide the one-sided braking force to an outer wheel in the steering direction based on the identifying of the oversteering.

The invention relates to a power assisting steering system for a vehicle having at least a first and a second steered wheel, the system comprising a control unit configured to receive input on a desired change of steering angle, a first and a second power generating device configured to provide power assisted steering for turning the first and the steered wheel, respectively. The control unit, in response to the received input, is configured to alternatingly activate and deactivate the first and second power generating device, respectively, so as to repeatedly and alternatingly provide power assistance to the first and the second steered wheel as the first and second steered wheels are turned to achieve the desired change of steering angle. The invention also relates to a method of operating a power assisting steering system.

A system for actuating a telescopic actuator that is mechanically connected to a back end of a first trailer of a truck and a front end of a second trailer of the truck is disclosed herein. The system has one or more data processors; and non-transitory machine-readable memory storing instructions executable by the one or more data processors. The instructions when executed by the one or more data processor is configured to determine, using data indicative of a geographical location of the truck, an initiation time at which to initiate actuation of the telescopic actuator. The instructions when executed by the one or more data processors is then configured to automatically initiate actuation of the telescopic actuator at the initiation time.

An approach for automated differentially steering either three-wheeled or four-wheeled vehicles in response to input data collected from sensors associated with characteristics of vehicular movement is suitable for vehicles that travel at speeds about or exceeding 15 miles/hour. An automated differential vehicular steering system comprising such an approach includes a drive control computer including a closed loop vehicular motional controller, a plurality of sensing systems comprised of one or more wheel sensors, one or more inertial sensors measuring vehicular movement, and software for modeling a response to outputs from the plurality of sensing systems. The design of the differential vehicular steering system enables improvements in autonomous or unmanned driving, as no user input is needed for steering.

A vehicular control system includes a control disposed at a vehicle. A camera is disposed at the vehicle and has a field of view exterior and at least forward of the vehicle. The control is operable to at least partially control driving of the vehicle responsive to determination of an emergency driving condition. The control, responsive to determination of an emergency driving condition, determines a target stopping location ahead of the vehicle at a road along which the vehicle is traveling. The control determines the target stopping location responsive at least in part to processing of image data captured by the camera. The control, responsive to determination of the target stopping location, at least partially controls driving of the vehicle to the target stopping location.

A differentially steered vehicle includes brakes on the powered wheels which are applied via a controller according to different methods to inhibit freewheeling during turns and improve steering responsiveness and stability. The methods include applying braking force to the wheel on the inside of a turn in response to the rate of turn as indicated by the position of the steering control, to the pressure differential across the hydraulic motors driving the wheels and the rotational speed of the wheels.

The steering system includes: a first steering device to-steer left and right wheels in a mechanically associated manner by changing an angle of left and right chassis frame components; and a second steering device to drive a supplementary turning actuator to change angles of the wheels relative to the chassis frame components. The second steering device includes a supplementary turning control section to perform a control to cause turning by a steering angle that is a difference between a steering angle determined by a numerical model of vehicle motion on the basis of the steering command angle and the vehicle velocity and an actual steering angle.
