SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OPERATING AN ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE
An all-terrain vehicle may include a frame and a plurality of ground-engaging members supporting the frame. The all-terrain vehicle may further include a powertrain assembly supported by the frame and shiftable transmission supported by the frame and operably coupled to the powertrain assembly. The all-terrain vehicle may also include a display, a back-up camera, and a controller supported by the frame. The controller may be configured to receive a signal from the shiftable transmission corresponding to the shiftable transmission being in a gear of the plurality of gears other than a reverse gear. Further, the controller may be configured to determine the all-terrain vehicle is moving backwards and send an activation signal to the back-up camera to display images of the back-up camera on the display.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ADAPTIVE TRAILER CONTENT MONITORING
A load-monitoring system includes a vehicle processor and a camera mounted in a trailer. The vehicle, via the processor, displays a first image of a trailer load, received from a trailer-mounted camera and receives selection of a monitoring point on the image, via a touch-sensitive user interface displaying the image or other selection mechanism. The vehicle also receives selection of a fixed point on the image, via the user interface. If the monitoring point moves more than a threshold amount, relative to the fixed point, for example, in subsequent images captured by the camera, the vehicle alerts the driver.
System and method for managing service and non-service related activities associated with a waste collection, disposal and/or recycling vehicle
Systems and methods are provided for using video/still images captured by continuously recording optical sensors mounted on waste collection vehicles used in in the waste collection, disposal and recycling industry for operational and customer service related purposes. Optical sensors are integrated into the in-cab monitor as well as the onboard computer, digital video recorder and other external devices.
Vehicular camera with lens/cover cleaning feature
A vehicular camera module configured for mounting at an exterior portion of a vehicle includes a housing, a camera disposed in the housing, and a transparent cover rotatably mounted at the housing. The camera views through the transparent cover. With the vehicular camera module mounted at the exterior portion of the vehicle, the camera views through the transparent cover in order to capture image data of a scene exterior of the vehicle. With the vehicular camera module mounted at the exterior portion of the vehicle, the transparent cover rotates relative to the camera and the housing at a rotational speed of at least 1,000 rotations per minute to at least partially remove water and/or debris from an outer surface of the transparent cover.
PERIPHERY MONITORING APPARATUS
In a periphery monitoring apparatus, a display processing unit displays, in a display apparatus that is provided in a vehicle, a plurality of captured images that are acquired by a plurality of cameras provided in a plurality of differing positions in the vehicle and have overlapping portions in which portions of imaging areas overlap each other, such that the overlapping portions remain. A determining unit determines whether a predetermined target object to be detected is present in each of the plurality of captured images. The display processing unit includes an enlargement processing unit that enlarges at least one captured image in which the target object is determined to be present, among the plurality of captured images, and displays the captured image in the display apparatus when the determining unit determines that the target object is present in at least one of the plurality of captured images.
METHOD FOR OPERATING A DISPLAY ARRANGEMENT OF A MOTOR VEHICLE, AND MOTOR VEHICLE
A method for operating a display arrangement of a motor vehicle. A camera continuously captures camera images of a motor vehicle environment and a display device shows the camera images in the form of an alternating image display. An additional, continuously changing image element is shown in or adjacent to the display of alternating images. The image element does not change if a malfunction of the camera and/or the display device and/or another component of the display arrangement results in the display of a still image comprising a single camera image by the display device.
Method and device for controlling vehicle steering, vehicle-mounted controller and vehicle
A method and a device for controlling vehicle steering, a vehicle-mounted controller and a vehicle thereof are provided. The vehicle-mounted controller includes: detection module, image acquisition module, and display module; the detection module is provided at rubber hoses located between a left and right vehicle doors and the vehicle body, and is configured to detect whether an electrical signal is present in the rubber hose, which is energized when turn signal lamp in the vehicle is activated. The method includes: receiving the electrical signal detected by the detection module; determining the current turning direction of the vehicle after receiving the electrical signal; controlling the image acquisition module to acquire an image for the rear of the vehicle in the current turning direction, and sending the image acquired to the display module, so as to display the image for the rear of the vehicle in the current turning direction.
VEHICLE DISPLAY DEVICE
A vehicle display device provided in a vehicle includes a display 33 and a controller. The controller displays a video showing a side view and a rear view from a vehicle 1 on the display 33 when a passenger gets out of the vehicle 1 while the vehicle 1 is stopped.
Rear camera system for a vehicle with a trailer
A vehicle plug for transmitting power and signals between a vehicle and a trailer includes a power conductor and one or more video signal conductors. The power conductor is configured to provide power to one or more electrical components of the trailer, the one or more electrical components of the trailer includes one or more video cameras. The one or more video signal conductors are configured to receive video signals from the one or more video cameras of the trailer.
Vehicle rear monitoring system
A vehicle rear monitoring system includes a camera that captures an image of an area to a rear of a vehicle, and a processing unit that processes the image captured by the camera. The processing unit creates a first vehicle rear image that is displayed in a first display area that is a portion of a display area of a display device, when traveling forward, and creates a second vehicle rear image that is displayed in a second display area that is within the display area of the display device and that is an area that includes the first display area and is larger than the first display area, when traveling backward.
