A sign recognition and display device (1) includes: a camera (2); a sign recognition unit (10) configured to recognize a road sign included in an image taken with the camera; a speed limit information obtaining unit (12) configured to repeatedly obtain speed limit information; and a display control unit (14) configured to, if a speed limit sign is recognized, and the speed limit information is obtained, show, on a display device (8), information on a speed limit indicated by the speed limit sign. If, while information on the speed limit indicated by the speed limit sign is displayed, the speed limit information is obtained, and the speed limit determined by the obtained speed limit information is different from the speed limit determined by the previously obtained speed limit information, the display control unit shows information on the speed limit determined by the presently obtained speed limit information.

Examples of techniques for triggering control of a zone of a vehicle using a zone image overlay on an in-vehicle display are disclosed. In one example implementation, a method may include: displaying a primary image on the in-vehicle display; overlaying a zone image as the zone image overlay onto the primary image on the in-vehicle display, wherein the zone image overlay is associated with the zone of the vehicle; receiving a selection of the zone image overlay; responsive to receiving the selected zone image overlay, displaying a control interface on the in-vehicle display, wherein the control interface comprises a selectable option for controlling an aspect of the zone; and responsive to receiving a selection of the selectable option for controlling the aspect of the zone, adjusting the aspect of the zone based on the selection.

A computing device for a vehicle imaging system includes a data storage medium and a processing device programmed to execute computer-executable instructions stored on the data storage medium. The instructions include capturing an image of an area ahead of a host vehicle in a convoy with at least one other vehicle, wirelessly pairing with a mobile device associated with the at least one other vehicle, and presenting an image captured by the mobile device associated with the at least one other vehicle.

Systems and methods are provided, having sensing unit(s) configured to capture images of a surrounding of a vehicle, and a processing unit connected to a database which is configured to store imaging data relating to the surrounding of the vehicle together with metadata relating to capturing parameters of the stored imaging data. The processing unit enhances the captured images with stored imaging data according to a correspondence of metadata with vehicle situations, for example, according to a relation between capturing parameters of different sensing units. Sensing unit(s) may be gated infrared to indicate specified reflectivity parameters of regions in the captured images. Sensing unit(s) may comprise a controller applying changing patterned filters to the pixel array to enhance visibility and other image features. Multiple sensing units with gateable infrared sensors may communicate using modulated illumination spots.

A computer-implemented method for rendering views to an output device and controlling a vehicle. The method includes determining a maneuver path for the vehicle within a spatial environment around the vehicle based on vehicle data from one or more vehicle systems of the vehicle. The method includes updating a view based on the spatial environment and the maneuver path, by augmenting one or more components of a model to provide a representation of the maneuver path virtually in the view as an available maneuver path or an unavailable maneuver path. The view is rendered to an output device and a vehicle maneuver request is generated based on the maneuver path. Further, the one or more vehicle systems are controlled to execute the vehicle maneuver request.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a vehicle speed control system operable to cause a vehicle to operate in accordance with a target speed value, the system being operable automatically to perform a direction change operation wherein the system causes a transmission of the vehicle to adopt a configuration corresponding to travel in an opposite direction to the instant configuration when the vehicle speed does not exceed a prescribed transmission direction change speed.

A speed limit violation control system of the present disclosure includes: imaging units (320, 330) which image a running vehicle; recorder (420) that records one of videos imaged by the imaging units (320, 330); and controller (360) that calculates a speed of the vehicle based on the videos of imaging units (320, 330) and determines a starting point and an ending point of the one of the videos, which is to be recorded in recorder (420), based on the calculated speed.

A system for controlling an operation of a machine is disclosed. The system includes an image capturing device and a controller. The image capturing device generates a signal indicative of a surrounding area of the machine. The controller is in communication with the image capturing device. The controller determines a preceding work cycle of the machine comprising a dig segment and determines a preceding segment associated with the preceding work cycle to be a dump segment. The controller further identifies a work aggregate within the surrounding area of the machine, when the preceding segment of the preceding work cycle is the dump segment. Further, the controller determines a distance between an implement of the machine and the work aggregate and issues a shift request to downshift a gear drive of a transmission system of the machine, if the distance is less than a predefined distance.

A road machine includes a hopper, a screed, a measuring unit configured to measure an amount of pavement material inside the hopper or pavement material held in front of the screed, and a display device disposed in an operator's seat and configured to display the amount of pavement material measured by the measuring unit.

A method for estimating a trailer wheel position includes identifying a first set of wheel locations in a first image. Each of the wheel locations in the first set of wheel locations is associated with a corresponding trailer angle. The first set of wheel locations is clustered and a primary cluster in the first set of wheel locations is identified. A best fit curve is applied to the primary cluster. The best fit curve is a curve associating wheel position to trailer angle. An estimated wheel position is determined by applying a determined trailer angle to the best fit curve in response to the wheel being hidden in the first image. The estimated wheel position is output to at least one additional vehicle system.
