The present embodiments relate to a vehicle control device and method, and a vehicle system. The vehicle control device may include a determinator determining a road surface condition based on vehicle driving information and determining whether to brake a vehicle based on a result of determining the road surface condition and a vehicle controller controlling a braking device according to a result of determining whether to brake the vehicle by the determinator and controlling a steering device based on control of the braking device.

Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed herein that mitigate hard-braking events. An example apparatus includes a world generator to generate a deep learning model to identify and categorize an object in a proximity of a vehicle, a data analyzer to determine a danger level associated with the object, the danger level indicative of a likelihood of a collision between the vehicle and the object, a vehicle response determiner to determine, based on the danger level, a response of the vehicle to avoid a collision with the object, and an instruction generator to transmit instructions to a steering system or a braking system of the vehicle based on the determined vehicle response.

A vehicle stability control system and a vehicle stability control method which are capable of more improving lateral stability of a vehicle when the vehicle is turning on a descent inclined road, may enable the vehicle to turn along a turning trace intended by a driver through cooperative control of active front steering (AFS) control and an electronic stability control (ESC) when the vehicle is turning on the descent inclined road.

A vehicle has a wheel, a frame, a suspension component, a steering knuckle, and a steering system. The suspension component is connected to the frame. The steering knuckle is connected to the suspension component and is connected to the wheel. The suspension component is operable to control vertical movement of the steering knuckle and the wheel relative to the frame. The suspension component and the steering knuckle define a steering axis for the wheel. The steering axis has a caster inclination angle of zero degrees. The steering system is connected to the suspension component and controls a steering angle of the wheel based on an electronic control signal.

A vehicle control apparatus includes: a plurality of operation devices receive operations from an occupant; a plurality of driving devices operate a vehicle with operation quantities applied to the plurality of operation devices; and a control device controls the plurality of driving devices. The control device includes: first and second operating characteristics; and correction device. When the occupant operates the second operation devices during execution of operation of the first operation devices, the correction device corrects the second operating characteristics such that the second operation force at the second response start point is equivalent to the first operation force of the first operation devices obtained when the operation of the second operation devices is started.

An integrated chassis control method may include stability control after avoidance performing stability steering assist control after avoiding a forward collision situation by avoidance steering assist control when the forward collision situation is verified by an integrated chassis controller.

Methods, systems, and vehicles are provided for controlling steering in an autonomous vehicle including a communication system, a vehicle control system, and a steering control system. The vehicle control system is configured to provide initial steering instructions, via the communication system, that include a current steering command for a current time and one or more future projected steering commands for the autonomous vehicle for possible implementation at one or more future times. The steering control system includes a processor configured to implement the current steering command; determine, subsequent to the initial steering instructions, that an error has occurred with respect to the providing of steering instructions from the vehicle control system; and implement the one or more future projected steering commands for the one or more future times when it is determined that an error has occurred with respect to the providing of steering instructions from the vehicle control system.

A vehicle includes a chassis, a tractive element coupled to the chassis, and a parking brake system. The chassis includes at least one of a transmission or a structural frame. The parking brake system includes a parking brake configured to brake the tractive element when engaged. The parking brake is configured to be disengaged to permit rotation of the tractive element in response to the parking brake receiving a fluid. The parking brake system includes a fluid supply configured to supply the fluid to the parking brake to disengage the parking brake. The fluid supply is configured to stop supplying the fluid in response to a component of the vehicle ceasing operation. The parking brake system includes a pump coupled to the chassis and configured to supply the fluid to the parking brake at least when the component of the vehicle is not operating.

Systems and methods for slowing (and stopping) a subject vehicle in response to detection of an emergency vehicle with activated emergency lights, or a school bus with activated stop lights.

A vehicle system for operating a vehicle is provided. The vehicle system includes a first output device configured to output a first output, and a second output device configured to output a second output. The vehicle system operates the vehicle based on the first output from the first output device while obtaining vehicle environment information, determines whether an autonomous take-over event occurs based on the vehicle environment information, operates the vehicle in an autonomous driving mode in response to determining that the autonomous takeover event occurred, determines whether the vehicle system receives a take-over signal from the second output device, and operates the vehicle based on the second output from the second output device in response to determining that the vehicle system received the take-over signal from the second output device.
