Electric system for a vehicle
An electric system of a vehicle including an electronically controlled braking system. The electric system has a steering angle sensor unit, at least one control module, at least one first inertia sensor and an electronic braking system central control unit EBS ECU. The at least one control module is external to the steering angle sensor unit. The at least one control module is also external to the EBS ECU. At least one of the at least one control module has mounted within it one of the at least one first inertia sensor.
Installation tool
An installation system for an associated housing includes a sensor and a tool. The sensor includes: a barrel portion, a sensing end of the barrel portion, a non-sensing end of the barrel portion, an over-mold portion at the non-sensing end, and a wire extending from the non-sensing end. The tool includes a handle and an applicator secured to the handle. The applicator includes a first applicator portion, a second applicator portion, and a channel. When the over-mold portion of the sensor is proximate to a channel opening and the channel opening is blindly inserted into the associated housing opening, a force applied to the handle along an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the handle frictionally seats the sensor in the associated housing.
Vehicle Control Device, Vehicle Control Method, and Vehicle Control System
A vehicle control device, a vehicle control method, and a vehicle control system according to the present invention estimate, in response to a deceleration command to a vehicle, the first deceleration generated by a frictional braking force based on characteristics of deceleration with respect to a force acting on a friction pad of a frictional braking device, determine the second deceleration by subtracting the first deceleration from the deceleration command, output the first command for generating the frictional braking force based on the deceleration command, and output the second command for generating the regenerative braking force based on the second deceleration. This allows compensating for uncertainty in achieving deceleration by frictional braking, and improving the accuracy of the actual deceleration with respect to the deceleration command.
Automatic Traveling System, Automatic Traveling Method, And Automatic Traveling Program
A positioning unit measures the position of a tractor. An automatic traveling control unit causes the tractor to automatically travel according to a target route on the basis of positioning information of the positioning unit. In the case where the tractor changes its direction on a direction change route, when the distance from a field to an end position at which the front-rear direction of the tractor is switched is less than a predetermined distance, the automatic traveling controller executes deceleration processing of decelerating a target speed of the tractor toward the end position.
Vehicle Control Apparatus and Vehicle Control System
A vehicle control apparatus includes a first ECU electrically connected to a wheel speed sensor and a second ECU electrically connected to the wheel speed sensor.
WIRELESS TRAILER CONNECTION
A method for enabling a V2V communications link between a trailer and a first tow vehicle including receiving a towing system activation control signal, transmitting a tow vehicle request, receiving a first tow vehicle response including a first tow vehicle location and a first tow vehicle identifier, determining a first distance between the first tow vehicle and the trailer, and enabling the V2V communications link in response to the first distance being less than a threshold distance.
Utilization of brakes and transmission system to affect steering of a vehicle and method thereof
A method of controlling a vehicle during a braking operation includes providing a first and a second brake actuator, a brake input device, a steer input device, and a cross-drive transmission having two outputs and a controller. The method includes detecting a first output speed at the first output and a second output speed at the second output, and receiving a brake input request and a steer input request. The method also includes determining a differential output speed based on the first output speed and the second output speed, and comparing the differential output speed to a first threshold, the brake input request to a second threshold, and the steer input request to a third threshold. The method includes determining the first or the second output is locked during the braking operation, and controlling the first or the second brake actuator based on which output is determined to be locked.
Apparatus for measuring speed of vehicle having in-wheel motor
An apparatus for measuring a speed of a vehicle having an in-wheel motor may include: a transmission gear configured to be rotated by power transmitted from the in-wheel motor, and including a mounting groove formed along a circumferential direction; a measurement target having magnetic force and mounted in the mounting groove; and a speed sensor installed at a position spaced apart from the measurement target and configured to measure rotation of the measurement target part.
BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE CONTROL APPARATUS
In a brake fluid pressure control apparatus, a sensing device is integrally fixed to a master piston. The sensing device including the body to be sensed, which may include a magnet, and a sensing body, which may include a sensor. The sensing bodying sensing an axial position of the master piston without relative movement, that is, without providing play. This arrangement improves the sensing precision of the sensing device. Since it is not necessary to provide a member separate from the master piston in order to retain the body to be sensed, it is possible to achieve downsizing of the brake fluid pressure control apparatus.
Object recognition device and object recognition method
An object recognition device is configured to: classify, under a state in which not all object data in a detection data group have been received and a part of the object data have been received by a current processing time, the part of the object data into pieces regarded as ready for association determination and pieces not regarded as ready for the association determination, to thereby associate the object data regarded as ready for the association determination and the prediction data individually with each other and set, as pending object data, the object data not regarded as ready for the association determination; and associate, under a state in which the remaining object data in the detection data group have been received by the next processing time after the current processing time, the remaining object data and the pending object data individually with the prediction data.
