An electronically controllable pneumatic brake system includes a service brake control module for controlling a first and a second service brake circuit, and a trailer control module with a trailer brake pressure connection point for connection to a trailer brake pressure coupling head. The trailer control module outputs a trailer brake pressure via the trailer brake pressure connection point. Upon a malfunction of the first and/or second service brake circuit, the first service brake pressure is controlled depending on the trailer brake pressure; and the second service brake pressure is controlled depending on the trailer brake pressure specified by the trailer control module; and/or the parking brake pressure is controlled directly or depending on the trailer brake pressure specified by the trailer control module. Upon a malfunction of the trailer control module, the trailer brake pressure is controlled depending on the first service brake pressure.

A system and method for collecting, processing, storing, or transmitting traffic data. A localized data collection module may retrieve, receive, or intercept traffic data through or from hardware installed in a traffic control cabinet adjacent an intersection or other roadway feature of interest. Data which may have previously been confined to a closed loop traffic control system may be remotely accessible for traffic operations control or monitoring via a network connected server and/or cloud architecture.

A vehicle control device includes a travel environment recognition device configured to recognize travel environment, a vehicle travel state detection device, and an autonomous/manual driving mode controller. The autonomous/manual driving mode controller includes a learning correction unit configured to store at least one of a plurality of control parameters indicating the vehicle travel state by operation of the driver in the autonomous driving mode, and to correct the control parameter in the autonomous driving mode according to the stored control parameter. When the stored control parameter is the control parameter changed by an operation by the driver midway in passing or after passing, the learning correction unit is configured to correct the control parameter in the autonomous driving mode so that an acceleration level or the deceleration level is increased midway in passing or after passing.

An electronic device for stopping a vehicle can be activated automatically in the presence of an emergency stopping instruction. A module calculates at least one automatic movement setpoint of the vehicle in order to follow an emergency stopping trajectory comprising a plurality of successive emergency stopping vectors each associated with a separate segment of a portion of the successive segments of the predefined trajectory, from at least for each emergency stopping vector: a stored last actual movement vector of the autonomous vehicle, the predefined movement trajectory of the autonomous vehicle, and a stored last location datum of the autonomous vehicle, and delivered by at least one sensor of the autonomous vehicle. An emergency steering module is capable of steering the vehicle according to said at least one setpoint.
