A steer/brake system for a vehicle (with wheels and/or tracks) is disclosed. The system may comprise a steering system with an operator control and braking system for each side of the vehicle with a master cylinder for the brake mechanism and an interface between the braking system and the operator control. Operation may provide a phase where the interface is at least partially engaged and force may be applied through the interface to the master cylinder to engage the brake mechanism to provide modulation for the operator control. A steering emulation system may comprise the interface and a compliant element configured to provide modulation for the operator control. The system may comprise a shared hydraulic system; the brake mechanism may comprise the steering brake mechanism and the service brake mechanism.

A travel control method includes using the vehicle to autonomously control a travel of the vehicle. The vehicle has an autonomous speed control function for autonomously controlling a traveling speed of the vehicle and an autonomous steering control function for autonomously controlling the steering of the vehicle. The autonomous speed control function includes a curved route speed control function for controlling the traveling speed of the vehicle at a set speed corresponding to the size of a curve of a travel route. The curved route speed control function can be set to ON/OFF. Each of the autonomous speed control function and the autonomous steering control function can be set to ON/OFF. When the autonomous speed control function and the autonomous steering control function are set to ON, the curved route speed control function is operated regardless of whether the curved route speed control function is set to ON or OFF.

A utility vehicle such as a loader includes a drive control system that includes an electronic controller and a manually actuated drive command device, such as one or more joysticks. The electronic controller is configured to control the drive control system to supply propulsive power at a predetermined output that is lower than that which is commanded by the drive command device for so long as an output of the drive control system is beneath a designated threshold, maintaining vehicle speed lower than a commanded vehicle speed. The electronic controller is further configured to control the drive control system to ramp up the propulsive power supply toward that which is commanded by the drive command device when the output of the drive control system is above the designated threshold, causing the vehicle speed to approach a commanded vehicle speed. The vehicle may include a EH drive system such as a hydrostatic drive system.

A motorcycle accessory mounting system for conveniently riding with beverages and a cellphone includes a cellphone mount apparatus and a beverage mount apparatus. The cellphone mount apparatus comprises a cellphone clamp to selectively engage a handlebar of a motorcycle. A cellphone holder back is coupled to a cellphone rod. A pair of cellphone holder sides is coupled to the cellphone holder back and to selectively engage a cellphone. The beverage mount apparatus comprises a beverage clamp to selectively engage the handlebar. A beverage holder is coupled to a beverage rod and has a cup bottom, a cup sidewall coupled to the cup bottom, and an open cup top side. The beverage holder serves as a cup holder to receive a cup conforming to the cup sidewall. A lid and a straw are engageable with the open cup top side.

In some embodiments, a vehicle may include a frame having longitudinal axis. The vehicle may include a steering assembly having a steering input and at least one wheel. The steering assembly may be coupled to the frame and configured to steer the vehicle based on input from a steering input. The vehicle may include a first drive wheel and a second drive wheel. The vehicle may include a steering position sensor configured to detect steering input including a position of the steering input and at least one of i) a rate of change of position of steering input and ii) steering position time. The vehicle may include at least one controller configured to process a signal from the steering position sensor and, in response to the processed signal, drive the first drive wheel and the second drive wheel, the first drive wheel being driven independent of the second drive wheel.

A reverse switch activation mechanism includes forward and reverse pedals connected to a control arm for pivoting the control arm in first and second directions. A cam surface extends from the control arm and activates a reverse switch if the reverse pedal is partially depressed. A transmission control rod is connected to the control arm through a lost motion slot and moves rearwardly if the reverse pedal is depressed further after activating the reverse switch. A control rod keeper on the control arm biases the control rod pin to a first side of the lost motion slot.

A steering lever pivot assembly may have a two-axis polymer housing pivotally coupled to a terrain working vehicle at opposing bosses and comprising a pair of reciprocal housing portions, a steering lever pivotally coupled to the two-axis polymer housing, the steering lever having a connecting portion for coupling to a first system of the terrain working vehicle, a clasp coupled to the steering lever and the two-axis polymer housing and having a mounting portion for coupling to a first system of the terrain working vehicle, and a pair of bushings that receive one of the opposing bosses therein. In some aspects, the two-axis polymer housing provides a first axis of rotation at the pivotal coupling between the steering lever and the two-axis polymer housing and a second axis of rotation through the opposing bushings, which may be axially aligned.

A vehicle steering control method, device and system, and a vehicle are provided. The vehicle steering control method includes: in a case where a current vehicle speed is less than a turning vehicle speed threshold, steering of a vehicle is controlled by an Electric Power Steering (EPS) to implement cornering of the vehicle; in a case where a cornering condition of the vehicle is not reached during the cornering of the vehicle, the vehicle is controlled by an Electrical Park Brake (EPB) to perform single-side parking to assist in the cornering of the vehicle; and after the single-side parking of the vehicle is implemented, closed-loop control is performed on an electric control booster, the EPB and the EPS, and the vehicle is controlled to turn under the cornering condition.

A work machine includes: a pair of drive wheels that is either front wheels or rear wheels; a pair of non-driving wheels that is the other of the front wheels and the rear wheels; a work device disposed between the front wheels and the rear wheels; a machine body; and a control device including an automatic turn-execution unit configured to execute an automatic turn in a U shape. The automatic-turn execution unit is configured to execute: a gentle turn operation in which the work machine makes a gentle turn; and a counter-rotation turn operation in which the work machine makes a counter-rotation turn after the gentle turn operation.
