A method for operating an at least semi-automated mobile platform which includes wheels, a braking system, and an acceleration sensor that generates acceleration values. The braking system, using a holding force, cooperates with the wheels in such a way that the platform is selectively fixed in a position. Each wheel includes a rotation angle sensor that generates a signal pulse based on a rotational position of the wheel. The method includes: reducing an initial holding force of the wheels, corresponding to an initial value of a control gradient; controlling the control gradient based on the acceleration values when the rotation angle sensor of a wheel has generated a first signal pulse; increasing the holding force of at least one of the wheels corresponding to a fixation gradient when the rotation angle sensor of a set of further wheels of the wheels has generated a signal pulse, to fix the platform.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a parking assist device for a vehicle such that the vehicle can be parked without decreasing or excessively increasing the speed or causing the vehicle to stop during assisted parking, the speed of the host vehicle is kept constant even immediately after an obstacle or a bump is cleared, and the vehicle is prevented from colliding with any other parked vehicle. The device calculates a speed command value and/or an engine torque command value in consideration of the acceleration/deceleration of the vehicle and controls the speed of the vehicle on the basis of the calculated speed command value and/or the engine torque command value, said acceleration/deceleration being predicted in advance on the basis of the height and distance of an obstacle and/or a bump that is present in a parking path, the gradient of the road surface, and the steering angle.

A parking brake system is disclosed and includes a parking brake valve configured to maintain a fluid pressure of the parking brake system and one or more pressure transducers that monitor the fluid pressure of the parking brake system. The parking brake system also includes a bistable control valve fluidly connected to the parking brake valve, one or more processors in electronic communication with the bistable control valve, the parking brake valve, and the one or more pressure transducers, and a memory coupled to the one or more processors. The memory stores data comprising a database and program code that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the parking brake system to instruct the bistable control valve to actuate into the opened position when the fluid pressure of the parking brake system is less than a threshold pressure.

It is aimed to provide a method for guiding of a motor vehicle on the basis of image data, particularly when manoeuvring trucks toward docking stations by a docking controller coupled to a steering system, comprising: identifying, by the docking controller the vehicle's current position; receiving a collision free path; and manoeuvring the vehicle by said docking controller according to said free path, wherein the vehicle's current position is identified by means of an off board vehicle scanner that is mounted in a fixed position relative to the dock station; wherein said vehicle scanner produces scan data signifying a set that are analyzed to identify a reference point of the vehicle and a vehicle's orientation; wherein said reference point and vehicle orientation are transmitted to the docking controller to update the vehicle's current position.

The present disclosure provides a method and a device for vehicle parking control. The method includes following steps performed according to a predetermined time period until the vehicle stops at an end point: determining (101) a target position and a target speed when the vehicle arrives at the target position based on a current speed of the vehicle and a distance between a current position and the end point, the target position being on a road where the vehicle is located and in front of the vehicle; determining (102) a deceleration motion mode for the vehicle based on the current speed of the vehicle and the target speed; and performing (103) braking control for the vehicle in accordance with a vehicle braking strategy corresponding to the deceleration motion mode. The method can solve the problem in the related art associated with inaccurate vehicle parking control and uncomfortable experience.

In an electric parking brake device in which a parking brake state is released by loosening a brake cable: a nut is screwed onto a screw shaft in such a way as to be capable of moving in an axial direction; a movement restricting portion which is caused to abut the screw shaft or a linked member that moves in the axial direction together with the screw shaft, thereby restricting an axial direction movement end of the screw shaft to the side loosening the brake cable, is disposed in a fixed position inside an actuator case; and a resilient member which is compressed in response to axial direction movement of the nut after movement restriction has been effected by the movement restricting portion when the screw shaft moves in the axial direction toward the side loosening the brake cable is interposed between the nut and an insertion member.

The present disclosure relates to a resource allocation procedure for allocating time-frequency radio resources by a scheduler in a mobile communication system. A plurality of numerology schemes are defined, each partitioning a plurality of radio resources of the mobile communication system into resource scheduling units in a different manner. A reference resource set is defined per numerology scheme, each being associated to a set of radio resources usable for being allocated according to the respective numerology scheme. The reference resource set of at least one numerology scheme overlaps with the reference resource set of at least another numerology scheme in the frequency and/or time domain. The resource allocation procedure is performed for allocating radio resources to one or more user terminals according to the numerology schemes. The resource allocation procedure is performed for each numerology scheme based on a scheduling time interval defined for the respective numerology scheme.

An automatic parking control device includes an automatic parking controller that carries out automatic parking control, and a park-by-wire controller in which a park lock is automatically engaged when automatic parking is completed at a target stopping position by the automatic parking control. The park-by-wire controller determines whether a system abnormality would occur, in which the park-by-wire system does not operate normally during the automatic parking control. The automatic parking controller prohibits the starting of the automatic parking control upon determining that the system abnormality would occur before the automatic parking control is started.

A method for controlling a parking brake of a vehicle, including: receiving an activation signal which represents a manual operating unit of a parking brake being activated by a driver; reading a speed decrease signal which represents a value of a speed decrease of the vehicle upon receiving the activation signal; and emitting a delay signal as a function of the value of the speed decrease, wherein the delay signal is configured for delaying a complete engagement of the parking brake. Also described are a related apparatus/device, and a computer readable medium.

A controller includes a failure detection unit that detects a failure in a first power supply system, and a power supply system control unit that closes a relay in a case where an execution of an automatic parking function starts and, during the execution of the function, causes the first power supply system to supply power, without causing a second power supply system to supply power, to the electric brake device, by setting a target output voltage of the second power supply system lower than an output voltage of the first power supply system when the failure detection unit does not detect the failure, and operates the electric brake device by setting the target output voltage to a voltage within a range in which the electric brake device is operable when the failure detection unit detects the failure.
