An organ-type electronic brake pedal apparatus enables a pedal pad to be manipulated when a driver tries to manipulate the pedal pad by rotating his/her foot in the manner of manipulating an organ-type pedal or when the drivers tries to manipulate the pedal pad by stretching his/her foot forwards in the manner of manipulating a pendant-type pedal. The organ-type electronic brake pedal apparatus inhibits the pedal pad from being manipulated when the driver tries to manipulate a pedal arm part, which is positioned close to a hinge pin of the pedal pad.

A foldable pedal apparatus of a vehicle with a hysteresis module, may include a pedal pad is in a popped-up state of protruding from a pedal housing to be exposed toward a driver, in a manual driving mode in which the driver directly drives the vehicle; the pedal pad is in a hidden state of being inserted into the pedal housing and blocked from being exposed to the driver, in the autonomous driving mode in which the driver does not directly drive the vehicle; and hysteresis may be implemented by a hysteresis module when the pedal pad is operated.

A system for a two-step activation for a valve includes at least one valve control selector having an output representative of a valve position and a touch sensor having an output representative of a permission to operate said valve.

A foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle includes: a pedal housing rotatably coupled to a footrest panel disposed below a driver seat, configured to come in contact with a front inclined surface of the footrest panel when rotating forward, and configured to come in contact with a bottom surface of the footrest panel when rotating rearward; a brake pedal pad rotatably coupled to the pedal housing and configured to be rotated by a driver; and an accelerator pedal pad rotatably coupled to the pedal housing and configured to be rotated by the driver, wherein when the pedal housing is in contact with the front inclined surface of the footrest panel by rotating forward, the brake pedal pad and the accelerator pedal pad are folded to be positioned between the front inclined surface and the pedal housing and are kept in a hidden state.

An accelerator pedal system includes a pedal lever that performs an operation in accordance with a step-on operation, a lock mechanism configured to restrict the operation of the pedal lever, and an actuator configured to switch between a locked state in which the operation of the pedal lever is restricted by the lock mechanism and an unlocked state in which the operation of the pedal lever is not restricted by the lock mechanism. A controller includes a locking operation determination unit that determines switching of a locking operation by the lock mechanism, an actuator control unit that controls a driving operation of the actuator, and an information acquisition unit that acquires vehicle speed information. The locking operation determination unit locks the pedal lever when a vehicle is traveling in an automatic driving mode and when a vehicle speed is equal to or more than an activation-determination lower limit value.

A foldable pedal apparatus of an autonomous traveling vehicle, is configured so that a pedal pad is popped-up by moving toward a driver to be exposed to enable an operation of the pedal pad by a driver in a manual driving mode situation in which the driver directly drives the vehicle, and the pedal pad moves forward and is in close contact with a vehicle body panel to disable the operation of the pedal pad by the driver in an autonomous traveling mode in which the driver does not directly drive the vehicle, facilitating a hidden state where exposure toward the driver is blocked.
