The parking brake apparatus comprises an electronic controller that monitors the output signals indicative of a plurality of vehicle factors, monitors for a pre-startup sequence of the plurality of vehicle factors having been met, monitors for a driver request to unpark the vehicle, monitors for a pre-release sequence of the plurality of vehicle factors having been met, and applies one or more control signals to components of the parking brake system to release parking brakes based upon a valid pre-startup sequence of the plurality of vehicle factors having been met, a driver request to unpark the vehicle, and at least one valid pre-release sequence of the plurality of vehicle factors having been met.

A parking brake apparatus is provided for a vehicle having components of a parking brake system and a number of devices providing a plurality of output signals indicative of a plurality of vehicle factors. The parking brake apparatus comprises an electronic controller arranged to (i) monitor the output signals indicative of a plurality of vehicle factors, and (ii) provide one or more control signals to be applied to components of the parking brake system to apply parking brakes based upon a predefined sequence of the plurality of vehicle factors having been met.

A control system and method control release of a braking device from a wheel or disc. Release of the braking device is slowed or stopped based on a speed at which the braking device is released. The braking device may include a return limiting device through which a rod is configured to move. The return limiting device permits the rod to slide within the return limiting device while the brake pad holder releases from the wheel or disc no faster than a designated speed, but engages and restricts movement of the rod within the return limiting device while the brake pad holder releases from the wheel or disc faster than the designated speed.

A vehicle control device includes: an actuator drive controller configured to control a drive of an actuator; a main motor drive controller configured to control a drive of a main motor; and a stuck determiner. The stuck determiner determines a stuck of the actuator based on a detection value of a sensor unit that detects a physical quantity changed according to a drive state of the actuator. The main motor drive controller is configured to perform an engaging surface pressure reduction control for reducing an engaging surface pressure between a parking gear and a parking lever by driving the main motor, when the stuck determiner determines that the actuator is stuck in releasing a parking lock of the vehicle.

A brake control apparatus includes a hydraulic pressure supply device configured to provide a hydraulic pressure to a wheel cylinder of a vehicle; a flow path extending from the hydraulic pressure supply device to the wheel cylinder; at least one valve configured to open or close the flow path; and a controller electrically connected to the hydraulic pressure supply device and the at least one valve. The controller may be configured to control the hydraulic pressure supply device to supply the hydraulic pressure to the wheel cylinder through the flow path, and in response to a change in a gear position of a transmission of the vehicle, to control at least one of the hydraulic pressure supply device and the at least one valve to maintain a hydraulic pressure of the wheel cylinder or a hydraulic pressure of the flow path for a first reference time after the change in the gear position.

The present disclosure relates to a resource allocation procedure for allocating time-frequency radio resources by a scheduler in a mobile communication system. A plurality of numerology schemes are defined, each partitioning a plurality of radio resources of the mobile communication system into resource scheduling units in a different manner. A reference resource set is defined per numerology scheme, each being associated to a set of radio resources usable for being allocated according to the respective numerology scheme. The reference resource set of at least one numerology scheme overlaps with the reference resource set of at least another numerology scheme in the frequency and/or time domain. The resource allocation procedure is performed for allocating radio resources to one or more user terminals according to the numerology schemes. The resource allocation procedure is performed for each numerology scheme based on a scheduling time interval defined for the respective numerology scheme.

A parking brake control apparatus 20 drives an electric motor 43B to advance a piston 39 according to an application request signal from a parking brake switch 19. The parking brake control apparatus 20 includes a running state detection portion that calculates a running state about whether a vehicle is running or stopped based on a wheel signal from a wheel speed sensor 18. When the running state cannot be calculated by the running state detection portion, the parking brake control apparatus 20 controls the electric motor 43B in such a manner that the thrust force of the piston 39 changes at a lower time rate of change than when the running state can be calculated.

A system for providing driverless operation of a utility vehicle in a limited area, including: a control module to output a valid autonomous control signal to an electropneumatic parking brake system and to control the utility vehicle in a driverless manner, wherein the utility vehicle allows an autonomous operating mode and includes the electropneumatic parking brake system which is configured to release the parking brake system when the valid autonomous control signal is present and to initiate automatic emergency braking when no valid autonomous control signal is applied; and a transfer module to transfer control of the utility vehicle from the driver to the control module. Also described are a related method and computer readable medium.

A vehicle includes a powerplant, such as an engine, configured to power front and rear wheels, and a controller. The controller is programmed to, brake a first of the front wheels and a first of the rear wheels while powering a second of the front wheels and a second of the rear wheels to warm those tires, and subsequently brake the second front wheel and the second rear wheel while powering the first front wheel and the first rear wheel to warm those tires.
