A control system (100) for an emergency braking system (200) using at least one transmitter/receiver sensor (210) comprising: means for causing automatic transition, from a first state (310) in which the emergency braking system (200) is inactive to a second state (320) in which the emergency braking system (200) is active, in dependence upon satisfaction of a first condition (412); and means for causing automatic transition from the second state (320) to the first state (310) in dependence upon satisfaction of a second condition (421) different to the first condition (412) wherein transition from the second state (320) to the first state (310) does not occur in dependence upon the first condition (412) no longer being satisfied, and/or transition from the first state (320) to the second state (310) does not occur in dependence upon the second condition (421) no longer being satisfied.

A parking assist system for a vehicle is provided that includes a speed limiting controller configured to set a speed limit for the vehicle during a maneuver and an audio sensor configured to sense an ambient sound within the vehicle. The speed limiting controller is configured to reduce the speed limit based on the sensing of the ambient sound within the vehicle.

A backup assist system for a vehicle reversing a trailer includes a brake module and a throttle module. The system further includes a controller having a vehicle speed detector and coupled with the brake module and the throttle module for implementing a backup mode including detecting an adverse operating condition and then adjusting at least one of the brake module and the throttle module and terminating the backup mode upon detecting the adverse operating condition for a time interval.

A vehicle reverse assistant includes a rear side sensor, a towed object detector, and a stop determination threshold distance setter. The rear side sensor is provided at a rear portion of an own vehicle. The rear side sensor senses a rear side sensing region. The towed object detector detects whether a towed object is connected to the rear portion of the own vehicle. The stop determination threshold distance setter sets one end of a stop determination threshold distance at a position spaced apart at a constant distance from a rear end of the towed object on a basis of a sensing signal supplied from the rear side sensor when the towed object detector detects connection of the towed object.

A rear automatic braking system is automatically overridden and released if the accelerator pedal is depressed with the rate of change which is greater than empirically determined threshold beyond a predetermined percentage of its travel for at least a predetermined length of time and if the vehicle's brake pedal is not depressed.

An intelligent ultrasonic system may include: a camera sensor unit configured to take an image of a road ahead of a driving vehicle; an ultrasonic signal input unit configured to receive an ultrasonic signal sensed through one or more ultrasonic sensors mounted on the vehicle; a feature extraction unit configured to extract a feature of the received ultrasonic signal; a data collision unit configured to collect one or more data related to a surrounding situation of the road on which the vehicle is driven; and a control unit configured to divide the surrounding situation into two or more classes based on the one or more data collected through the data collection unit, and change or reset an existing parameter to a parameter corresponding to any one class of the classes when the surrounding situation corresponds to the one class or is changed to the one class.

The present invention relates to a vehicle control system (1) for controlling a trailer (5) coupled to a vehicle (3) during a reversing operation. The vehicle control system includes a processor (29) configured to determine an actual trailer travel direction (T.sub.ACT) based on one or more sensor signals. The processor (29) receives a demanded trailer travel direction (T.sub.DEM), for example from a user. A maximum permissible hitch angle (?.sub.MAX) is calculated by the processor (29) and the demanded trailer travel direction (T.sub.DEM) is limited to an angle less than or equal to the calculated maximum permissible hitch angle (?.sub.MAX). The present invention also relates to a vehicle (3) incorporating the vehicle control system (1); and a method of controlling the reversing of the trailer (5).

A transportation vehicle has an autohold selector, such as a push button switch or other human-machine interface (HMI). A gear selector in the vehicle includes forward and reverse gear positions. A brake pedal can be depressed by a driver to actuate a brake actuator when slowing or stopping the vehicle. A control circuit is configured to initiate a brake hold event of the brake actuator in response to predetermined conditions including the autohold selector being on and the vehicle braking to a stop with the brake pedal depressed, wherein initiating the brake hold event is prevented if the gear selector is in the reverse position. If a brake hold event is in progress, then shifting the gear selector to reverse terminates the brake hold event. Low speed maneuvers, such as parking the vehicle, can be performed without a need for manually canceling the autohold feature.

A vehicle braking control method. The method portion includes: when a vehicle is in a preset parking state, monitoring state signal of a vehicle system in real time, the vehicle system comprises a service brake system, a reversing assistance system, and a plurality of electronic parking brake systems; determining whether the vehicle meets a preset fault condition according to the state signals of the service brake system, the electric parking brake system and reversing assistance system; activating a non-faulty electronic parking brake system to control the vehicle to park if it is determined that the vehicle meets the preset fault condition. The present disclosure ensures the safety of a vehicle during low-speed remote parking when the vehicle is in a preset parking state, and solves the problem of potential safety hazards caused by having no matching control solution. Also provided are a corresponding device and a storage medium.
