A braking system for a vehicle includes a hydraulic vehicle brake with an electric actuator and an electromechanical braking device. The braking system further includes a locking mechanism configured to lock the electric actuator.

A control apparatus for a vehicle includes an offset torque calculator configured to perform calculation of offset torque to be applied to at least one wheel of the vehicle. The offset torque is required to stop the vehicle on a sloping road having a predetermined gradient. The control apparatus includes a motor controller configured to, for stopping the vehicle on the sloping road having the predetermined gradient, perform control of causing output torque of the motor-generator to asymptotically approach the offset torque.

A vehicle and a method of immobilising a vehicle. The vehicle (100) includes a transport refrigeration unit (10), a power management system (20) for supplying power to the transport refrigeration unit (10), and a braking system (30). The power management system (20) includes an electric charging connector (26) and controller (24) configured to determine if a charging cable is engaged with the electric charging connector (26). If the controller (24) determines that a charging cable is engaged with the electric charging connector (26), the braking system (30) is configured to immobilise the vehicle (100).

A vehicle control device is provided for activating a safety device to inhibit occurrence of a collision with a moving object around an own vehicle, when the own vehicle transitions from traveling straight in a lane in which the vehicle is traveling to making a turn. An area setting unit is configured to, based on at least one of an own vehicle speed and a moving object speed, set a potential collision area, provided that the moving object continues to move in its moving direction and the own vehicle is making a right/left turn. An acquisition unit is configured to acquire a position of the moving object relative to the own vehicle. A restriction unit is configured to restrict activation of the safety device against the moving object based on the position of the moving object being out of the potential collision area.

A method for an emergency response in the event of a loss of tire pressure of a transportation vehicle including detecting a tire pressure at a wheel of the transportation vehicle and detecting an angle of inclination on an axle of the transportation vehicle associated with the wheel, A transportation vehicle for autonomous driving.
