A powered vehicle includes a spring-applied hydraulic release (SAHR) vehicle brake comprising first and second mutually engageable brake elements. The first brake element is secured to or forms part of a rotatable element of the drive train of the vehicle and the second is non-rotatably moveably mounted on the vehicle such that the first and second elements are mutually engageable with and separable from one another. Mutual engagement of the brake elements causes braking of rotation of the rotatable element. The SAHR vehicle brake includes (i) a resiliently deformable member acting on the second brake element so as to urge the first and second brake elements into mutual engagement and (ii) a hydraulic control circuit for applying hydraulic pressure to the second brake element so as to oppose the action of the resiliently deformable member and thereby normally maintain the first and second brake elements separated from one another.

An anomaly detection system is on an in-vehicle network including: a first network connected to first devices that communicate using a first protocol; and a second network connected to second devices that includes a driving assistance controller communicates using a second protocol. The system includes: a communicator receiving, through the first network, first unit data including (i) source information indicating a source first device and (ii) second unit data including a data identifier; a database storing rule; and an anomaly determiner that determines whether the first unit data has anomaly by comparing the source information and the data identifier with the rule. Based on the rule, the first unit data is determined to have anomaly when the source first device is a sensing device and, according to the identifier, the second unit data is to be received by the controller.

A brake system for a transportation vehicle and a transportation vehicle having such a brake system. The brake system includes two brake circuits which each have a control unit and a battery, wherein the respective control unit actuates two of a total of four service brakes and at least one of at least two electric parking brakes. The brake system also has an electronic circuit element. The brake system forms a defect signal in response to a double fault affecting the two brake circuits and when a defect in at least one of the control units is detected, and/or in which a respective supply voltage of at least one of the control units drops below a predefined limiting value. The at least one electronic circuit element actuates the electric parking brakes when a defect signal is formed.

A regenerative braking control apparatus equipped on an electrically driven vehicle having road wheels and an electric motor for driving the road wheels for running. An operation unit is provided for the driver of the vehicle to select a magnitude of the braking force to be generated by the electric motor during regenerative braking. A determination unit determines, on the basis of conditions of the electrically driven vehicle, whether or not a selected braking force selected through the operation unit is acceptable. A notifier unit is constructed such that, in a case where the selected braking force is determined to be unacceptable by the determination unit, the notifier unit provides a corresponding notification to the driver.

An electronic device for stopping a vehicle can be activated automatically in the presence of an emergency stopping instruction. A module calculates at least one automatic movement setpoint of the vehicle in order to follow an emergency stopping trajectory comprising a plurality of successive emergency stopping vectors each associated with a separate segment of a portion of the successive segments of the predefined trajectory, from at least for each emergency stopping vector: a stored last actual movement vector of the autonomous vehicle, the predefined movement trajectory of the autonomous vehicle, and a stored last location datum of the autonomous vehicle, and delivered by at least one sensor of the autonomous vehicle. An emergency steering module is capable of steering the vehicle according to said at least one setpoint.

A braking system for use with a dual landing gear aircraft. The braking system pairs outboard brake control into an outboard brake system control unit (BSCU) and inboard brake control into a second inboard brake system control unit (BSCU). Each BSCU is designed with two independent control lanes in which the forward wheel set is paired in one control lane and the aft wheels are paired onto the other. Alternate braking is provided via an alternate brake module installed in a fore-aft wheel pairing.

A brake control device as an example of the present disclosure includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire an output of a sensor that detects information indicating a ground contact state of a drive wheel of a vehicle; and a control unit configured to, when an acceleration operation for causing the vehicle to accelerate is performed on the vehicle stopped due to a parking brake force generated by an electric parking brake, identify the ground contact state of the drive wheel based on the output of the sensor acquired by the acquisition unit, and control the electric parking brake to release the parking brake force by a control method that differs depending on the identified ground contact state.
