Disclosed are devices, systems and methods related to direct and indirect methods for detecting wind speed and direction during driving. An example method may include estimating, by a processor of a vehicle controller, a speed and a direction of wind movement near the vehicle based on a first sensor output from a wind sensor, or a second sensor output from a non-wind sensor, or a combination of the first sensor output and the second sensor output, wherein a primary purpose of the wind sensor is wind detection, and a primary purpose of the non-wind sensor is different from wind detection, and generating a control output indicative of a vehicle disturbance force resulting from the wind based on the estimated speed and direction of the wind movement.

An attachment is attached to an upper turning body. During a normal operation, a drive means drives the attachment according to an input of an operator to a manipulation device. A sensor detects a motion of an excavator. Based on an output of the sensor, the slip suppression unit detects slip of a traveling body in an extension direction of the attachment and corrects an operation of the attachment performed by the drive means.

A vehicle may have actuators, including a drive device with a drive motor that can act on a drive wheel, a brake device with a brake that can act on a drive wheel, and/or a steering device with a steering sensor by way of which the steering angle of a wheel is adjustable, a vehicle movement controller, and a setpoint value input means, a setpoint value processing means for detecting setpoint value settings of the setpoint value input means, to calculate a yaw acceleration setpoint value and translational acceleration setpoint values from the setpoint value settings. The setpoint value processing means may be configured to transfer the calculated yaw acceleration setpoint value and translational acceleration setpoint values to the vehicle movement controller, which is configured to actuate one or more of the actuators such that the yaw acceleration setpoint value and the translational acceleration setpoint values are reached.

Embodiments described herein may provide a method for generating a local hazard warning boundary and at least one confidence band therein. Methods may include: receiving a plurality of probe data points from a plurality of probes within a region, where each probe data point includes location information and an indication of a hazardous condition; generating, based on the plurality of probe data points, a boundary within the region identifying an area within which the hazardous condition is determined to exist with at least a first degree of confidence; generating, based on the plurality of probe data points, a confidence band within the boundary within which the hazardous condition is determined to exist with a second degree of confidence; and providing for an indication of the boundary and the confidence band to at least one of an autonomous vehicle control or to a driver assistance system.

A lane departure prevention system includes a controller configured to control a braking force of vehicle wheels such that a lane departure prevention yaw moment is applied to a vehicle. The controller determines whether there is a likelihood that the vehicle enters a spinning state based on at least one of a difference between an actual yaw rate and a normative yaw rate of the vehicle calculated based on a steering angle, a vehicle speed, and the lane departure prevention yaw moment, and a degree of braking slip of a turning inside wheel when the lane departure prevention yaw moment is a yaw moment for preventing departure of the vehicle from a lane to a turning outside, and applies a spin prevention yaw moment to the vehicle when it is determined that there is a likelihood that the vehicle will enter the spinning state.
