A method and system include a vehicle control system including a multi-vehicle system. The system includes a controller. The controller determines a slack condition of a multi-vehicle system while the multi-vehicle system is parked. The controller determines the slack condition based on one or more sensor signals received from at least one sensor, the controller configured to control movement of the multi-vehicle system based on the slack condition that is determined while transitioning from being parked to forward motion.

A brake control apparatus includes a hydraulic pressure supply device configured to provide a hydraulic pressure to a wheel cylinder of a vehicle; a flow path extending from the hydraulic pressure supply device to the wheel cylinder; at least one valve configured to open or close the flow path; and a controller electrically connected to the hydraulic pressure supply device and the at least one valve. The controller may be configured to control the hydraulic pressure supply device to supply the hydraulic pressure to the wheel cylinder through the flow path, and in response to a change in a gear position of a transmission of the vehicle, to control at least one of the hydraulic pressure supply device and the at least one valve to maintain a hydraulic pressure of the wheel cylinder or a hydraulic pressure of the flow path for a first reference time after the change in the gear position.

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.

A method for providing a brake force in a vehicle with a hydraulic vehicle brake and an electromechanical brake device includes determining a position of a brake piston at a brake contact point on the basis of a state variable of an electric brake motor when the electromechanical brake device is released. The method further includes displacing the brake piston in a positioning operation until reaching a braking start point.

Methods, systems, and apparatus for a brake assist control system. The brake assist control system is for a vehicle. The brake assist control system includes a first sensor configured to detect driver awareness. The brake assist control system includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is coupled to the first sensor. The electronic control unit is configured to determine that a brake pedal and an accelerator pedal are in a released position. The electronic control unit is configured to determine that there is vehicle movement. The electronic control unit is configured to determine that a driver of the vehicle is unaware of the vehicle movement based on the driver awareness. The electronic control unit is configured to reduce or eliminate the vehicle movement.

R90 is a system that does not allow gear vehicles to go back without the driver's discretion. R90 also takes the brake pedal when the deviation is more than ninety degrees, while vehicle is out of the driver's control and the vehicle bottom moves forward from its head.

A protection device for a drivetrain of a motor vehicle having an engine and an automatic transmission, with at least one hydraulic converter. In order to protect the drivetrain, the protection device has a sensor device and a control device. The sensor device is designed to detect a rolling movement of the motor vehicle counter to the selected direction of travel of an engaged gearspeed of the automatic transmission, and the control device is designed to control a brake system of the motor vehicle as a function of the detected rolling movement, in order to limit a rolling speed of the motor vehicle counter to the selected direction of travel to a maximum speed.

A method for operating a tractive vehicle and a vehicle combination are disclosed. A tractive vehicle includes a first friction brake device for generating a first stopping braking-force, a traction device for generating a tractive force and a control device for controlling at least the traction device. The method includes a step whereby the traction device is activated if a first undesired kinematic state is detected. Activation of the traction device would take place in such a way that a tractive force, counteracting the first undesired kinematic state, is generated and provided for deceleration to a standstill and/or for holding the tractive vehicle at a standstill.
