A method for parking brake adaptable assistance on a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a parking brake and a set of sensors, and at least one electronic control unit controlling the parking brake and the set of sensors, each sensor being monitored by the at least one control unit to measure a specific parameter, and a set of actuators, each actuator being activated by the at least one electronic control unit to engage a specific action or reminder, characterized in that the method comprises a first list (102) of situations defined by a set of valued parameters measured by the sensors, and a second list (101) of parking brake actions or reminders, and a list of relations (103) establishing a relation between each situation of the first list and an action or reminder from the second list and further comprising the following steps: i. determine the values of the parameters measured by the sensors; ii. determine the situation defined by the set of values determined at step i. iii. engage the action or reminder which is in relation with the situation determined at step ii., according to the list of relations (103).

An automatic parking control device includes an electronic control unit. A remaining distance from a first position to a target position is longer than a remaining distance from a second position to the target position. In a case where a braking force increase process is executed at the first position, the electronic control unit delays timing at which the braking force is increased, or reduces an amount by which the braking force is increased, as compared to a case where the braking force increase process is executed at the second position. In a case where a braking force reduction process is executed at the first position, the electronic control unit advances timing at which the braking force is reduced or increases an amount by which the braking force is reduced, as compared to a case where the braking force reduction process is executed at the second position.

An electric self-traveling trailer capable of performing automatic following traveling to a towing elude without mechanical connection, includes a detection unit configured to detect a peripheral situation, a recognition unit configured to recognize a parking space based on a detection result of the detection unit, a setting unit configured to set a moving track used to move the trailer from a position at which the towing vehicle and the trailer have stopped to the parking space, and a moving control unit configured to move the trailer to the parking space along the moving track set by the setting unit. The setting unit sets the moving track that maintains a distance between the towing vehicle and the trailer within a predetermined range.

A system for parking control of a vehicle in which a transmission parking configuration is omitted is provided. The system includes a shift by wire device that requests a parking control of the vehicle when a parking stage is input by an operation of a driver. An electronic parking brake operates a brake installed on a drive wheel via a relay which is connected to be in a parking brake state when the electronic parking brake receives the parking control request from the shift by wire device. The shift by wire device switches the relay to directly operate the brake to be in the parking brake state when the shift by wire device receives a failure event, which indicates that a normal operation of the electronic parking brake is impossible, from the electronic parking brake.

A sensing system of a vehicle includes a sensor module disposed at the vehicle. The sensor module includes first and second radar sensors and a camera. A field of sensing of the first radar sensor is encompassed by a portion of a field of view of the camera and a field of sensing of the second radar sensor is encompassed by another portion of the field of view of the camera. Outputs of the radar sensors and the camera are communicated to a control. The control, responsive to processing of the outputs of the radar sensors, detects the presence of an object exterior the vehicle and within the field of sensing of at least one of the radar sensors. The control, responsive to detection of an object via processing of the outputs of the radar sensors, processes the output of the camera to classify the detected object.

A vehicle display apparatus that includes: a sensor unit that is configured to obtain a vehicle surrounding image and sense an appearance change of a vehicle; a display unit that is configured to display the vehicle surrounding image that includes a vehicle image showing at least a portion of a vehicle appearance; and a processor that is configured to: obtain, from the sensor unit, information on the appearance change of the vehicle, based on the information on the appearance change of the vehicle, generate the vehicle surrounding image to show the appearance change of the vehicle, and control the display unit to display the vehicle surrounding image is disclosed.

A parking assistance unit comprises: a step determination unit that executes a first determination process for determining whether a step that a vehicle wheel has contacted is a step for stopping the vehicle; and a braking/drive force setting unit that executes a stop request control for requesting stopping of a vehicle by increasing the braking force of the vehicle, when a step has been determined by the first determination process to be a step for stopping the vehicle.

A remote start-up method of a manual transmission vehicle is provided. The method includes a parking braking force-associated remote start-up control that remotely starts-up an inclined parking vehicle parked on a ramp by confirming a situation where the parking braking force is maintained by a braking hydraulic pressure control of an electronic stability control (ESC) system in a remote start-up controller.

A vehicle control system configured to control a braking operation of a hitch ball to a coupler on a trailer. The system may comprise a vehicle brake control system, a maneuvering system, an image sensor configured to capture an image data, and a velocity sensor. The system may also comprise a vehicle mass sensor configured to detect a vehicle mass and a controller. The controller may be configured to control the maneuvering system of the vehicle along a vehicle path. The controller may also identify a coupler distance based on the image data depicting a coupler of the trailer. The controller may also calculate a stopping distance for the braking operation based on a plurality of braking parameters, wherein the braking parameters comprise the velocity, the break pressure, and the vehicle mass.

A method for operating a parking brake system includes establishing a parking brake request for a first automated parking brake constructed on a first wheel located on a first side of an axle of a motor vehicle, producing a braking force at the first wheel by activating, in response to the establishing of the parking brake request, the first automated parking brake, and activating a compensation device connecting the first wheel and a second wheel located on a second side of the axle to apply a braking force to the second wheel via the first wheel.
