A power adjustment system and a power adjustment method of an autonomous mobile device are provided. In the power adjustment method, two first current control signals respectively transmitted to two drivers are outputted by a control module. A tilt angle of the autonomous mobile device is detected by an inertial measurement module. A travel route is planned by a navigation module, and the control module obtains a steering angle of the autonomous mobile device during a traveling process. According to different weight values of the autonomous mobile device stored in a database module, a weight of the autonomous mobile device is estimated by the control module. According to the two first current control signals and the weight, the steering angle, and the tilt angle of the autonomous mobile device, two second current control signals respectively transmitted to the two drivers are outputted by the control module.

Assistance with ending shoulder driving by a motor vehicle

In a method for ending shoulder driving, it is detected by means of a detection unit of a motor vehicle that a wheel is located on a shoulder. By means of a sensor unit, a driver's reaction is recorded, and by means of a computing unit, the driver's reaction is assigned to one of at least two intensity classes. By means of a control unit, an intervention in controlling the vehicle is undertaken counteracting the driver's reaction when the driver's reaction has been assigned to a first intensity class, and an intervention supporting the driver's reaction is undertaken when the driver's reaction has been assigned to a second intensity class.
