SYSTEMS, DEVICES, AND METHODS FOR VEHICLE CAMERA CALIBRATION
20230222808 · 2023-07-13 ·

Systems, devices, and methods for calibrating a camera of a vehicle. A system may include the camera configured to be attached to the vehicle and capture a video. The system may further include an output device having a display. The output device may be configured to receive the video and display the video, a first overlay over the video indicating a current center of field of view of the camera, and a second overlay over the video indicating an aligned center of field of view of the camera on the display. The first overlay may be aligned with the second overlay on the display of the output device or an aim of the camera may be manually changed until the first overlay aligns with the second overlay to calibrate the camera.

Method for Monitoring the State of Charge of a Traction Battery and Hybrid Vehicle
20230213588 · 2023-07-06 ·

A method for monitoring the state of charge of a traction battery of a hybrid vehicle includes comparison of an actual state of charge with a state of charge limit value. If an initial actual state of charge lies above the state of charge limit value, waiting for a debounce time and output of a positive testing if the actual state of charge still lies above the state of charge limit value. If the initial actual state of charge lies below the state of charge limit value, continuous calculating of a model state of charge and output of a positive testing if the model state of charge reaches the state of charge limit value and does not fall short of it again for at least the debounce time.

Estimation of a minimum overtaking speed of a vehicle

The present disclosure relates to an overtaking estimating system for estimation of a minimum overtaking speed of a vehicle. The overtaking estimating system determines in view of a host vehicle a remaining distance of an overtaking lane contiguous to a driving lane of the host vehicle. The system further determines a delta distance between the host vehicle and a preceding vehicle positioned in the host vehicle driving lane. Moreover, the system determines a delta time for the host vehicle to reach the preceding vehicle. The system further determines, based on the delta distance, the delta time and a determined host vehicle speed, a speed of the preceding vehicle. Furthermore, the system determines, based on the remaining distance, the delta distance, the preceding vehicle speed, and an overtaking-affecting parameter, a minimum overtaking speed of the host vehicle for overtaking the preceding vehicle in the remaining distance of the overtaking lane.
