Vehicle pedal configurations and systems
Systems and device configurations are provided for reducing misstep, such as miscommunication between a vehicle and a driver that results in applying the incorrect pedal. Vehicle pedal configurations having a positioning element are described. Embodiments include pedal configurations having a pedal pad and at least one positioning element to adjust the pedal pad in response to pedal misstep. Pedal adjustment can include rotation of a pedal pad, rotation of portions of a pedal pad, and multibody pedal pad configurations. According to embodiment, a pedal pad includes vibrational elements to control vibration of the pedal. Embodiments are also directed to a pedal configuration including a flip plate. Systems are provided including a controller to control a pedal configuration and positioning elements. The controller may control the pedal based on a driving mode, such as an assistive driving state wherein operator is instructed to apply a pedal.

Pedal assembly for pedal braking control of a motor vehicle
The pedal assembly includes a support, a pedal mounted pivoting around a pivot axle of the support and an articulated connection, the connection being configured to connect the pedal to a transverse return bar connected to a control device, provided to be mounted on the other side of the vehicle, such that the application of a functional torque for driving the pedal around the axle from a raised configuration to a depressed configuration drives the rotation of the bar. The pedal assembly includes a member for adjusting a functional clearance of the pedal, the member being configured to exert a resistive torque on the pivot axle of the pedal in a direction opposite to the direction of the functional torque, which tends to disappear during the depression of the pedal.

Accelerator pedal device
An accelerator pedal device includes a housing which pivotably supports a pedal arm, a return spring, a magnetic position sensor which detects an angular position of the pedal arm, and a drive source, a return lever, and a control circuit board serving as an active control mechanism which controls to push back the pedal arm toward a rest position under predetermined conditions, a circuit for a Hall element of the position sensor is arranged on the control circuit board. According to the above, a conventionally-required circuit board dedicated to a position sensor is not required to be arranged and the position sensor is connected via bus bars and the like while eliminating lead wire and the like.
