A vehicle pedal assembly comprising a pedal housing, a rotatable pedal, and an inductive position sensor. The inductive position sensor includes an inductive sensor target rotatable in response to the rotation of the pedal and a substrate positioned opposite the inductive sensor target. First and second redundant inductive transmit and receiver coil circuits are defined and located on different sections of the substrate in a relationship with the respective receiver coil circuits of the first and second transmit and receiver coil circuits at least partially surrounded by the respective transmit coil circuits of the first and second transmit and receiver coil circuits for reducing the coupling factor between the first and second transmit and receiver coil circuits.

A brake booster assembly having a brake booster body and a pushrod as well as a pushrod-pedal coupler are provided. The pushrod travels along a pushrod axis when being pushed. The brake booster assembly includes a pushrod-pedal coupler. The pushrod-pedal coupler comprises a pushrod-attachment end arranged on the pushrod and defining a longitudinal axis parallel to the pushrod axis. A pedal-attachment end is configured to be attached to a pedal and having a pedal pivot axis around which the pedal pivots when being pushed. The pedal pivot axis extends across the longitudinal axis. A coupler hinge is arranged between the pushrod-attachment end and the pedal-attachment end and connects the pushrod-attachment end with the pedal-attachment end. The coupler hinge has a coupler hinge axis that extends across the longitudinal axis and the pedal pivot axis. The pedal pivot axis and the coupler hinge axis are offset along the longitudinal axis.

The example aspects of the present disclosure relates to a pedal module, with an electromechanical actuator, and with a base body, having an inner space and in the inner space, a pedal mechanism with a restoring unit, as well as an actuation plate, wherein the base body and actuation plate are connected to one another such that the actuation plate is rotatably mounted on the base body. Moreover, the pedal module has a coupling element, having a first end and a second end, wherein the coupling element in the region of the first end is situated in operative connection with the pedal mechanism and in the region of the second end is situated in operative connection with the actuation plate. To propose a pedal module with an actuator which has a simple, cost-effective and low-maintenance construction, and moreover ensures the generation of easily usable tactile signals, it is provided that the coupling element has a cavity in which the electromechanical actuator is disposed.

A vehicle control system configured to reduce physical stress on a driver to operate an accelerator pedal without reducing acceleration feel. The vehicle control system selects a first driving force property if an estimated stress on an ankle is less than a threshold value, and selects a second driving force property if the estimated stress on the ankle is greater than the threshold value to reduce the stress on the ankle. When the second driving force property is selected, a target driving force is reduced less than a target driving force calculated based on the first driving force property. In this case, the vehicle control system reduces a difference between: a ratio of acceleration to a pedal force given that the first driving force property is selected; and a ratio of acceleration to the pedal force given that the second driving force property is selected.

Aspects hereof relate to a stand-on terrain working vehicle having a foot-operated parking brake system. The parking brake system includes a pedal assembly having a first pedal and a second pedal, an actuator coupled to the pedal assembly, a brake configured to be actuated between a set/engaged state and a released/disengaged state, and an over-center linkage. When the first pedal of the pedal assembly is depressed, the brake is actuated to the set/engaged state, and when the second pedal of the pedal assembly is depressed, the brake is actuated to the released/disengaged state. The over-center linkage is configured to bias the brake towards one of the set/engaged state and the released/disengaged state.

A brake pedal assembly comprising a pedal and a pedal resistance force member operably coupled to the pedal. A damper pedal resistance force module defines an interior fluid-filled cavity. A shaft extends through the damper module and includes a piston mounted thereon and moveable through the fluid-filled cavity to generate a damper resistance force. A spring pedal resistance force module is adapted to generate a spring pedal resistance force. A pedal force sensing module is mounted to the pedal resistance force member. A pedal position sensor is mounted to the pedal resistance force member. A pedal force sensor is mounted to the pedal resistance force member.

An operating device for a human-powered vehicle comprises a base member, an operating member, an accommodating structure, and a second electric power source. The operating member is movably coupled to the base member. The accommodating structure is configured to accommodate a first electric power source. The second electric power source is electrically connected so as to supply electricity to a wireless communicator. The second electric power source is separate from the first electric power source.
