The notification system is applicable to a wireless power transfer system configured to transmit power in a wireless manner from a power transmission coil of a power transmission device provided in a parking space to a power reception coil mounted on a vehicle. The notification system includes a display device and a control device. When the distance between the power transmission device and the vehicle is less than a predetermined distance, a wireless communication is established between the power transmission device and the vehicle. After the wireless communication is established between the power transmission device and the vehicle, the control device performs a foreign object detection process to detect whether or not a foreign object is present above the power transmission coil. If a foreign object is detected by the foreign object detection process, the control device displays a foreign object detection image on a screen of the display device.

A method for controlling regenerative braking of a hybrid commercial vehicle that includes a main brake and an auxiliary brake is provided. The method includes determining whether a braking request condition of the vehicle is satisfied based on a state data and generating a request braking amount based on the state data when the braking request condition is satisfied. When an operation switch of the auxiliary brake is on an auxiliary braking amount of the auxiliary brake is generated. A final braking amount is generated based on the request braking amount and the auxiliary braking amount. A regenerative braking amount is generated based on the final braking amount and braking of the vehicle is performed based on the final braking amount.

A control device for a vehicle includes an operation unit, an operation-unit sensor, a motor, and a driving force controller. The operation-unit sensor is configured to detect an operation-unit operation amount. The operation-unit operation amount is an amount of operation of the operation unit. The motor is capable of generating a negative driving force for decelerating the vehicle. The driving force controller is configured to cause the motor to drive a wheel of the vehicle with the negative driving force on a basis of the operation-unit operation amount, and to derive the negative driving force in accordance with an initial time change. The initial time change represents an amount of change in the operation-unit operation amount per unit time relative to an operation-unit operation amount at an initial position of the operation unit.

Presented are adaptive propulsion assist systems and control logic for manually-powered vehicles, methods for making/using such systems, and intelligent electric scooters with distributed sensing and control-loop feedback for adaptive e-assist operations. A method for regulating a propulsion assist system of a manually-powered vehicle includes a vehicle controller detecting a user contacting the vehicle's handlebar, responsively receiving sensor signals indicative of a user-applied force to the handlebar, and then determining a net user-applied force based on the handlebar force and user-generated forces applied to the scooter deck. The vehicle controller also receives sensor signals indicative of the vehicle's current acceleration, and determines therefrom a pitch angle of the surface on which the vehicle moves. Responsive to the net force being greater than zero and the pitch angle being greater than a calibrated threshold angle, the controller commands the traction motor to increase motor torque output by a calibrated force gain increment.
