A vehicle includes a brake-by-wire system having a brake pedal and a first sensor configured to output a signal indicative of a position of the brake pedal. A controller is in communication with the sensor and is programmed to enable and disable a one-pedal driving mode based on a user-selected setting. The controller is further programmed to, in response to the signal of the first sensor being valid and the one-pedal driving mode being disabled, enable the one-pedal driving mode regardless of the user-selected setting.

A vehicle controller applies a braking force to wheels using a hydraulic braking force generating mechanism and sets a vehicle driving torque, which is generated by an engine, to a second torque which is smaller than a first torque in a normal state, when a switch is switched to an ON state in a state in which a vehicle is traveling and an accelerator is turned on. Then vehicle stops, the vehicle controller implements an EPB mechanical operating state using a mechanical parking brake mechanism. When the switch is switched to an OFF state, the vehicle controller maintains the EPB mechanical operating state until an accelerator pedal operating level reaches 0, and maintains the vehicle driving torque at the second torque. Then the accelerator pedal operating level reaches 0, the EPB mechanical operating state is released and the vehicle driving torque is returned to the first torque.

A cruise control apparatus, mounted to a vehicle, controls traveling of the own vehicle, based on a predicted course, which is a future course of the own vehicle. The cruise control apparatus includes a preceding vehicle position storage unit, a course prediction computation unit, and a cancellation determination section. The preceding vehicle position storage unit chronologically stores a preceding vehicle position, which is a position of a preceding vehicle traveling ahead of the own vehicle. The predicted course computation unit calculates a predicted course, based on the trajectory of the preceding vehicle position. The cancellation determination section cancels the preceding vehicle position stored in the preceding vehicle position storage unit when it has been determined that either the own vehicle or the preceding vehicle is in a situation where the own vehicle or the preceding vehicle is likely to depart from the current course.

A system includes a sensor designed to detect data corresponding to a speed of a vehicle and a motor designed to convert electrical energy into driving torque. The system also includes a first wheel coupled to the motor and designed to propel the vehicle in response to receiving the driving torque along with a second wheel. The system also includes a brake coupled to at least one of the first wheel or the second wheel and designed to apply a braking torque to the at least one of the first wheel or the second wheel. The system also includes an ECU coupled to the sensor and the motor and designed to control the motor to begin controlled braking by applying the driving torque to the first wheel to at least partially offset the braking torque when the speed of the vehicle is at or below a braking threshold speed.

The present disclosure is directed to an agricultural work vehicle including: a vehicle body configured to support an engine; a transmission configured to perform shifting on drive generated by the engine; a braking unit implemented as a hydraulic brake or a mechanical brake, and configured to reduce the travelling speed of the vehicle body and control the deceleration of each of left and right wheels; an operation unit provided in the vehicle body; and a control unit configured to control the transmission and the braking unit; wherein the control unit includes a conjunctive operation module configured to control the braking unit and the forward-reverse clutch so that both the braking rate at which the braking unit reduces the travelling speed of the vehicle body and the drive transmission rate at which the forward-reverse clutch transmits drive are adjusted.

An apparatus for braking a vehicle includes wheel brakes configured to generate a braking force on each of wheels, a first actuator for supplying a braking force to the wheel brakes by using a first motor and a first master cylinder, a second actuator for supplying a braking force to the wheel brakes by using a second motor and a second master cylinder, a first electronic control unit (ECU) for controlling the first actuator and determining normal or faulty operation of the first and second actuators, and a second electronic control unit (ECU) for controlling the second actuator and determining the normal or faulty operation of the first and second actuators. When the first ECU and the second ECU are determined to be normal, the first ECU controls to brake some of the wheel brakes, and the second ECU controls to brake a remainder of the wheel brakes.

A multi-lane scenario driving support is provided for an ego vehicle in a traffic situation. Traffic surroundings are measured by an environment sensor system. The traffic surroundings include data about traffic and free space within an ego lane of the ego vehicle and an adjacent lane, and data about front proximity area and rear proximity area of the ego vehicle. A decision device evaluates the measured traffic surroundings and decides a driving operation to be executed by the ego vehicle based on at least one strategy. In the decision device, a cost function is used for choosing one of at least six strategies. The cost function is based on at least a core priority to avoid collision of the ego vehicle and not cause collision of the ego vehicle with a third party vehicle.

A vehicle includes a brake-by-wire system having a brake pedal and a first sensor configured to output a signal indicative of a position of the brake pedal. A controller is in communication with the sensor and is programmed to enable and disable a one-pedal driving mode based on a user-selected setting. The controller is further programmed to, in response to the signal of the first sensor being valid and the one-pedal driving mode being disabled, enable the one-pedal driving mode regardless of the user-selected setting.

A system and method for performing autonomous emergency braking (AEB) based on peripheral situations of a vehicle are disclosed. The AEB system includes a front lateral detection sensor, a vehicle dynamics sensor, and an electronic control unit (ECU). The front lateral detection sensor detects a distance and a relative speed between a host vehicle and a peripheral object, or transmits peripheral images of the host vehicle to the ECU. The vehicle dynamics sensor detects a driving speed of the host vehicle, and transmits the detected driving speed to the ECU. The ECU receives detection signals from the front lateral detection sensor and the vehicle dynamics sensor, and increases a size of an AEB control available region and an AEB control available speed when at least one leading moving object or at least one external object is present in longitudinal and latitudinal directions of a forward region of the host vehicle and the host vehicle is unable to perform steering avoidance capable of preventing collision with the leading moving object or the external object. Accordingly, even when several leading vehicles are present not only in longitudinal and latitudinal directions of a forward region of the host vehicle and the host vehicle is unable to perform steering avoidance, the possibility of collision between the host vehicle and the leading vehicles can be reduced.
