A control unit for controlling at least one torque generating MSD on a heavy-duty vehicle. The control unit receives a motion request indicative of a desired positive longitudinal tire force to be generated by the torque generating MSD, obtains an estimated applied torque indicative of a current torque generated by the torque generating MSD, determines a target wheel speed based on the motion request and on the estimated applied torque, and configures the torque generating MSD to maintain the target wheel speed. The control unit is arranged to decrease the target wheel speed in case an increase in configured wheel speed results in a decrease in the estimated applied torque.

A controller for an aircraft system of an aircraft, the aircraft system including a first actuator and a first energy supply. The controller is configured to, when the aircraft system is configured in a first configuration, in which the first actuator is coupled to the first energy supply, determine that there is a loss of energy supplied to the first actuator from the first energy supply. The controller is configured to determine a change in performance achievable by reconfiguring the aircraft system from the first configuration to an alternative configuration, in which the first actuator is uncoupled from the first energy supply, and cause reconfiguration of the aircraft system from the first configuration to the alternative configuration, in the event that the change in performance determined by the controller is a gain in performance.

A method detects a yaw instability in a vehicle combination. The vehicle combination has a tractor unit and at least one trailing unit. The method includes determining a current value of a longitudinal slip of at least one wheel of at least one unit of the vehicle combination, comparing the current value of the longitudinal slip to a threshold, and, if the current value is beyond the threshold, determining that an upcoming or ongoing yaw instability is present in the vehicle combination.

A braking control apparatus includes a driving information detector configured to detect a braking request from a driver while a vehicle is driving; and a vehicle controller configured to control a braking torque of the vehicle in response to the braking request from the driver, wherein the braking torque includes a regenerative braking torque formed by a motor and a hydraulic braking torque formed by a hydraulic brake, and wherein the vehicle controller is configured to perform regenerative braking using an initial regenerative braking torque determined by the braking request from the driver, using an initial regenerative braking torque determined by the braking request from the driver, and when wheel-slippage occurs, the vehicle controller reduces the regenerative braking torque to be less than the initial regenerative braking torque.
