Disclosed is an acceleration limit function relaxation apparatus. The apparatus may determine, based on information indicating manipulation of a brake pedal of a vehicle during an acceleration limit mode, that the vehicle is in a temporary braking state, determine a vehicle speed, measured at a start of the manipulation of the brake pedal, as a target vehicle speed for reacceleration, determine, based on information indicating manipulation of an accelerator pedal, that the vehicle is reaccelerated, determine an acceleration limit relaxation factor based on a cumulative braking amount calculated by measuring amounts of braking during the temporary braking state, and cause acceleration limit relaxation of the vehicle by applying the acceleration limit relaxation factor to an acceleration limit of the vehicle.

A method for braking an electric vehicle in which a first axle of an electric vehicle is decelerated by an electric motor of the electric vehicle and/or by a friction brake system of the electric vehicle.

A braking system is disclosed. The braking system may include a controller configured to determine a speed threshold that is based on a deceleration of an output speed of a powertrain of a machine caused in part by engagement of one or more brakes of the machine during a directional shift in a movement of the machine, the speed threshold being the output speed of the powertrain at which the one or more brakes are to be commanded to disengage. The controller may be configured to command disengagement of the one or more brakes based on a determination that the output speed of the powertrain satisfies the speed threshold.

A brake control unit (50) is provided to drive a brake actuator. The brake control unit comprises a primary control branch (510) with a primary inverter (512) and a primary EMI-filter (517) and a secondary control branch (520) with a secondary inverter (522) and a secondary EMI-filter (527). The primary control branch is configured to provide drive signals (D.sub.10) to the brake actuator in a normal operational mode. The secondary control branch (510) is configured to provide drive signals to the brake actuator in the at least a second operational mode. During the first, normal operational mode, both the primary EMI-filter and the secondary EMI-filter are coupled with their input to the power source. Therewith an improved reduction of conducted electromagnetic interference is achieved.

To suitably irradiate with a high beam according to a situation in front of the own vehicle. A vehicle headlight system installed in an own vehicle provided with an automatic brake controller which automatically activates a brake system depending on a situation, including: a lamp unit which irradiates at least with a low beam and a high beam; and a controller which is connected to the automatic brake controller and the lamp unit and is configured to control the operation of the lamp unit; where, when the lamp unit is not performing irradiation of the high beam, the controller is configured to control the lamp unit to irradiate with the high beam in the situation in which state of the automatic brake controller transitions from a standby state to a state which activates the brake system to a hard braking or to a preparation state thereof.

Driving support ECU transmits a communication connection request to a help net center HNC when a driver of a vehicle has been determined to be in an abnormal state where the driver loses an ability to drive the vehicle, and when the communication connection to the help net center HNC has been established, the driving support ECU transmits the help signal (the positional information of the vehicle) and decelerates the vehicle at a constant deceleration to make the vehicle stop. On the other hand, when the communication connection to the help net center HNC has not been established, the driving support ECU makes the vehicle travel at a constant speed. Accordingly, it is possible to make the vehicle stop under a situation where the help net center HNC recognizes the vehicle position inside which the driver who has been determined to be in the abnormal state is.

Driving support ECU sets a driver's state to “temporarily abnormal” and decelerates a vehicle when a driver of the vehicle has been first determined to be in an abnormal state where the driver loses an ability to drive the vehicle. Driving support ECU changes the driver's state to “regularly abnormal” in a case when the abnormal state of the driver remains unchanged when a vehicle speed decreases to a set vehicle speed, and at this point, reports to a help net center HNC. With this configuration, a report to the help net center HNC can be made at an appropriate timing.

A braking method for a vehicle, an electronic device and a storage medium are provided, and relates to the field of intelligent vehicles. The method includes: generating, in a case where a braking trigger signal is received, a first braking control signal according to a first braking parameter of the vehicle, wherein the first braking control signal is used to control a braking traction mechanism to draw a brake pedal according to the first braking parameter, to perform braking; collecting braking data of a current braking process; evaluating a braking effect of the current braking process according to the collected braking data; and determining whether to adjust the first braking parameter according to a result of the evaluating, wherein the determined first braking parameter is used for a next braking process of the vehicle.

Disclosed is an adaptive autonomous emergency braking (AEB) control method. An adaptive AEB control method includes identifying a front vehicle to be avoided on the basis of front-view information acquired through a front-view sensor, setting a steering avoidable area on the basis of speed information and lateral acceleration information of a host vehicle, adaptively determining an AEB activation time point on the basis of whether a vehicle is present in the set steering avoidable area, and controlling AEB activation on the basis of the adaptively determined AEB activation time point.
