Particular embodiments may enable configuring settings of a vehicle in a designated mode. A signal to perform a vehicle leveling process using an electronically controlled suspension of a vehicle may be received. A roll angle and a pitch angle of the vehicle as parked may be assessed based on data received from a position sensor built into the vehicle. Signals to adjust an electronically controlled suspension of the vehicle to reduce the roll angle or the pitch angle so that the vehicle is level as parked may be sent based on the assessed roll angle and pitch angle exceeding a threshold value. Data may be transmitted to present information related to the vehicle leveling process in a graphical user interface.

The present invention relates to a method for determining a functional status of a vehicle shock absorber arrangement (100). The method determines a difference between force values during compression and expansion of the vehicle shock absorber arrangement (100), whereby the shock absorber arrangement (100) can be determined to be degraded if the difference is below a predetermined threshold.

A loading amount accumulation device includes a loading amount storage section 403 storing a loading amount, a loading amount calculation section 402 accumulating load weight data about a transport object in a working front to the loading amount, and updating the loading amount by the value after being accumulated, a difference calculation section 404 calculating a difference between a loaded amount of a vessel and the loading amount, an accumulation success/failure determination section 405 comparing an absolute value of the difference and a value Dth, determining that accumulation has failed when the absolute value is larger than the value Dth, and outputting a result, a loading amount correction section 406, when the failure is output as the result, performing correction so as to set the loaded amount data as the loading amount, and updating the loading amount by the corrected loading amount, and an output section outputting the loading amount.

A system for testing a suspension system of a vehicle includes an inertial measurement module and a suspension fault detection module. The inertial measurement module is configured to, while the vehicle is not moving, collect sensor data from one or more inertial measurement sensors for different states of the suspension system. The sensor data is indicative of inertial states of the vehicle while the suspension system is in each of the different states. The suspension fault detection module is configured to, based on the sensor data and a set of thresholds, determine whether a fault exists with the suspension system, isolate and identify the fault, and perform a countermeasure based on the detection of the fault.

A personal mobility and a control method are provided. The personal mobility includes: a main body; a front wheel mounted on the front end of the main body; a pair of rear wheels mounted on the rear end of the main body; an actuator configured to adjust a distance between the pair of rear wheels; an image data device mounted on the personal mobility and having a field of view outside of the personal mobility, the image data device configured to acquire image data; and a controller configured to determine at least one of user state information or external environment information based on the image data, and control the actuator to adjust the distance between the pair of rear wheels based on at least one of the user state information or the external environment information.

A construction machine, in particular a road milling machine, comprising a machine frame, a traveling mechanism with front and rear traveling devices with at least one pair of front traveling devices and/or one pair of rear traveling devices, at least one pair of the front or rear traveling devices being connected to the machine frame via lifting columns each having a hydraulically adjustable piston-cylinder unit, a drive device for driving the hydraulically adjustable piston-cylinder unit of the lifting columns separately from one another, and a control device configured to control the lifting adjustment of the lifting columns by means of the hydraulically adjustable piston-cylinder units, and to a method for controlling the lifting position of a piston-cylinder unit of a lifting column of a construction machine, in particular a construction machine according to the invention.

A carrying mobile robot includes a frame, a suspension system disposed at the bottom of the frame, and a lifting mechanism disposed on the frame. The suspension system includes two suspension mechanisms disposed on the left and right sides, each of which includes a supporting beam, a driving wheel, a connecting member and a first driven wheel. The first driven wheel and the driving wheel respectively support the front and rear ends of the supporting beam, and the connecting member is connected to the supporting beam and located between the driving wheel and the first driven wheels. The lifting mechanism includes a plurality of lifting members, a first driving system for driving the lifting member and a transmission system for transmitting the driving force of the first drive system to the lifting members.

A method and apparatus for lowering the height of a wheeled vehicle for cargo height constraints during transportation. The rear leaf spring shackle on each side of the vehicle is connected to a sliding frame mount. In the transport configuration, fasteners are removed from the sliding frame mount, and the mount slides forward, rotating the rear leaf spring shackle from a near vertical to a near horizontal position, effectively lowering the height of the vehicle. To return the vehicle to the ride configuration, a screw jack member is attached to the sliding frame mount and a rear attachment point on the vehicle, pulling the sliding frame mount back, aligning attachment points of the mount with the frame member in the original position. The fasteners are reinstalled to lock the sliding frame mount into the ride configuration.

A method for controlling the safe operation of a rear axle of a set of combined axles powered by a motor vehicle, particularly for a vehicle designed to carry loads and which have 6×4, 8×4 or 10×4 type traction configurations, or tridem models formed by three drive axles. The method includes a set of steps and activities that ensure proper and safe operation of systems and mechanisms for uncoupling and raising a rear axle of a vehicle, and more specifically checking a status of certain operating parameters of the rear axle and of the vehicle itself in order to permit or prevent uncoupling and coupling, as well as raising and lowering of the rear axle of the vehicle.
