A foldable pedal apparatus of a vehicle includes a pendant-type configuration provided with a pedal arm and a pedal pad. The pedal pad rotates with respect to the pedal arm when the rotation motor operates so that the pedal pad pops up to protrude toward a driver or hide to block the exposure to the driver.

An embodiment electronic pedal apparatus includes a pedal housing and an accelerator pedal assembly and a brake pedal assembly coupled to the pedal housing and configured to move along different movement trajectories when the accelerator pedal assembly and the brake pedal assembly are operated. In an embodiment, the accelerator pedal assembly is compressed and moved upward when the accelerator pedal assembly is operated, and the brake pedal assembly is compressed and moved downward when the brake pedal assembly is operated.

A foldable pedal apparatus of a vehicle may have a configuration in which an accelerator pedal assembly and a brake pedal assembly are rotated in a rearward direction from a vehicle body panel and are popped-up to be exposed toward a driver to allow the pedal assemblies to be capable of being controlled when in a situation of manual driving mode, and in which the pedal assemblies are rotated in a frontward direction and are inserted in respective panel grooves of the vehicle body panel so that the pedal assemblies are in a hidden state where exposure thereof toward the driver is blocked to allow the pedal assemblies to be unable to be controlled in a situation of autonomous driving mode where the driver does not directly drive.

A pedal box for a vehicle comprises at least one of a brake assembly, clutch assembly and throttle assembly each mounted on an axis supported by a first mounting plate; a master cylinder operatively connected to each said brake assembly and clutch assembly; wherein the pedal box assembly, includes at least one articulating mounting member which allows the pedal box assembly to accommodate a variety of vehicle floor geometries.

A double pedal system for an industrial truck, comprising a first spring-reset pedal, a second spring-reset pedal. The first and the second spring-reset pedals are provided so as to be mechanically independent of one another, and are each provided with a device for electronically capturing the current actuation path of the corresponding pedal. A control unit is operatively coupled to the devices for electronically capturing the actuation paths of the two pedals, and is designed to determine a travel target value from the current actuation paths of the two pedals. The invention furthermore relates to an industrial truck comprising a double pedal system of this kind, and to a method for operating the double pedal system.

A lift truck employs forward and reverse pedals connected through respective cams having different upper and lower cam profiles that engage to provide asymmetric reciprocal pedal motion. For example, first pedal depression causes a first cam upper profile to engage with a second cam upper profile and cause increased elevation of a second pedal, and first pedal depression causes a first cam lower profile to disengage with a second cam lower profile associated with the second pedal, such that first pedal depression is greater than the increased elevation of the second pedal.

A pedal value generator 14 for a motor vehicle 30, a pedal value generator arrangement 10 and a method for controlling a motor vehicle 30 are described. A first pedal actuating surface 16 and, at a distance thereto, a second pedal actuating surface 18 are arranged on a cross member 20. A sensor arrangement 24 detects a torque M of the cross member 20 with respect to a torque axis X arranged between the first and second pedal actuating surfaces 16, 18 and for supplying an electrical actuation signal B1, B2 as a function of torque M. When an actuating force acts upon first pedal actuating surface 16 motor vehicle 30 can be accelerated and when an actuating force acts upon second pedal actuating surface 18 it can be decelerated.
