In an electric power steering device including a controller, which is configured to carry out feedback control for a motor including independent two coil winding groups and being configured to rotate a steering mechanism of a vehicle, when one of the two groups recovers from a failure that has occurred in the one group while control is continued solely by another group due to the failure, the controller resumes cooperative control by the two groups, and when starting the cooperative control, sets target current values of the one group and the another group to values different from a final target current value based on an actual current value or a target current value of the another group at a time of the recovery, to thereby output respective control amounts for the cooperative control.

A vehicle is proposed having a first axle portion, wherein the first axle portion has a first axle, a second axle portion, wherein the second axle portion has a second axle, a wheel-selective drive torque arrangement, wherein at least one of the axles is designed as an axle influenced by the wheel-selective drive torque arrangement, and a control device, wherein the control device is designed to control the wheel-selective drive torque arrangement in order to convert a steering command into cornering of the vehicle, and an articulated joint, wherein the first and second axle portions are coupled to one another by the articulated joint.

A work vehicle includes a vehicle body, a plurality of traveling devices disposed on the right and left sides on the front and rear sides of the vehicle body respectively, a plurality of bending link mechanisms configured to liftably support each one of the traveling devices to the vehicle body and a plurality of drive operating devices capable of changing the posture of each one of the plurality of bending link mechanisms. The vehicle body is split into a front side body section and a rear side body section. The front side body section and the rear side body section are configured to be bendably pivotable relative to each other via a pivot interlocking mechanism.

A hydraulic valve module (2000) for a vehicle (10) is configured to receive hydraulic pressure from a first pump (61) via a first pump inlet (2205) in a first interface surface when connected to a first adjacent module (1000), and from a second pump (62) via an external port (2006). The module (2000) combines both flows to supply a work function circuit (40) of a vehicle via a port (2301) formed in a second interface surface to communicate with a second adjacent module (3000). The module (2000) prioritises flow from the second pump (62) to a steering circuit (50) over the work function circuit, and restricts flow from the first pump (61) to the work function circuit to prioritise and maintain pressure in the first adjacent module upstream of the first pump inlet (2205) which may supply service brake and cooling fan circuits (21, 22, 30) of the vehicle.

A work vehicle control system including a steering control system that controls steering of a work vehicle. A controller including a processor and memory, wherein the controller receives a signal indicative of a probability of an operator being outside of a cab of the work vehicle, and wherein the controller disables the steering control system in response to the signal.

A protection system for a wire harness in a motor grader includes a controller and a sensor. The controller has a processor executing stored commands and a datastore with memory architecture containing stored angular orientation values for the circle frame. The sensor is coupled to one or more of the circle frame, the draft frame, and a circle actuator that rotates the circle frame relative to the draft frame. The sensor is configured to detect an angular orientation of the circle frame relative to the draft frame. The controller is configured to: receive input signals from the sensor indicating the angular orientation of the circle frame relative to the draft frame; query the datastore for a maximum angular orientation value of the circle frame; and terminate actuation of the circle actuator when the circle frame is at the maximum angular orientation value.

Vehicles, systems and methods for providing articulating two section vehicles with tracks, and a front body attached superstructure with telescopic forklift, for use on all terrain condition applications. The vehicle can include front and rear track assemblies that can tilt up and down while traveling over different ground surfaces. Each of the track assemblies can have rotatable articulating/oscillating track wheels which can traverse different contoured surfaces. The right and left tracks on both the front and rear track assemblies can separately extend outward and inward from underneath the vehicles to add stability to the vehicles. The cab can be raised and lowered to add greater visibility for the operator. Hydraulics can be used for raising and lowering the extendable boom and operator cab, as well as controlling the body articulating hinge, the articulating tracks and the tilting controls for the front track assembly.
