A vehicular collision avoidance system includes a forward-viewing camera, a rearward-viewing camera, a rearward-sensing non-vision sensor and an electronic control unit. The vehicular collision avoidance system detects vehicles present forward and/or rearward of the equipped vehicle. Responsive to at least one selected from the group consisting of (i) data processing of image data captured by the rearward-viewing camera and (ii) data processing of sensor data captured by the rearward-sensing non-vision sensor, the vehicular collision avoidance system detects another vehicle approaching the equipped vehicle from the rear, determines that the other vehicle is traveling in the same traffic lane as the equipped vehicle, determines speed difference between the vehicles, and determines distance from the equipped vehicle to the other vehicle. Based on such determinations, the system determines that impact with the equipped vehicle by the other vehicle is imminent.

A method of controlling stability of a vehicle and a stability control system for the vehicle. A driver command is determined based on driver input data. At least one output command is sent to one or more vehicle systems to control stability of the vehicle based on the driver command. A controller sends the output command based on a control hierarchy that provides an order in which the controller controls body motion of the vehicle, wheel slip of the vehicle, and standard stability of the vehicle to control stability of the vehicle. The order dictates that the controller controls the body motion of the vehicle and the wheel slip of the vehicle before the controller controls the standard stability of the vehicle. A state of one or more of the vehicle systems is controlled based on the sent output command as dictated via the control hierarchy.

A vehicle control system includes at least one sensor and a power supply control system. The sensor is on board a vehicle system and configured to generate vehicle data relating to a condition or parameter associated with the vehicle system. The power supply control system is configured to control one or more power supplies on board the vehicle system and to receive the vehicle data from the at least one sensor. The power supply control system is also configured to compare the vehicle data to one or more criteria relating to vehicle movement, and, in response to a determination that the vehicle data meets the criteria and receipt of a signal indicative of the vehicle system carrying (or being configured to carry) cargo of a predetermined material, generate a control signal to deactivate at least one of the power supplies.

A customization system for a vehicle includes a control operable to generate an output in a vehicle, with the output being a visual output, an audible output and/or a haptic output. An occupant recognition system is operable to recognize a particular occupant in the vehicle. The control accesses previously input occupant selections that are stored in a memory of the customization system. Responsive to the occupant recognition system recognizing a particular occupant of the vehicle, the control accesses previously input occupant selections associated with that particular occupant and, responsive to an accessed previously input occupant selection corresponding to a current date or vehicle status or location, the control generates a predetermined output for that particular occupant that corresponds to the current date or vehicle status or location.

When an adjustment target road in which a state of charge of the battery needs to be actively adjusted such as a congested road or a downhill road has been detected in the travel route based on the look-ahead information, the travel support control device performs state-of-charge adjustment control up to the adjustment target road. The travel support control device detects the adjustment target road based on look-ahead information generated for an estimated route on which it is estimated that the hybrid vehicle is to travel when the travel route has not been set, and performs the state-of-charge adjustment control up to the adjustment target road when the adjustment target road has been detected. At this time, a detection range for detecting a congested road and a detection range for detecting a downhill road in the estimated route are different.

A harvester comprising: a drive engine connected via a first drive train to ground engagement equipment of the harvester and via a second drive train to crop processing equipment of the harvester; an actuator configured to adjust the transmission ratio of the first drive train to control the propulsion speed of the harvester; and a controller configured to receive setpoint and actual values dependent on the crop throughput of the harvester, the controller configured to calculate an acceleration signal based on the setpoint and actual values, the acceleration signal representing an acceleration of the harvester suitable for minimizing the difference between the setpoint and actual values, and to determine a control signal for controlling the actuator based on the acceleration signal.
