Systems including one or more sensors, coupled to a vehicle, may detect sensor information and provide the sensor information to another computing device for processing. A system includes one or more sensors, coupled to a vehicle and configured to detect sensor information, and a computing device configured to communicate with one or more mobile sensors to receive the mobile sensor information, communicate with the one or more sensors to receive the sensor information, and analyze the sensor information and the mobile sensor information to identify one or more risk factors.

A vehicle driving assist apparatus executes a constant speed moving control to autonomously control a moving speed of an own vehicle to a set moving speed. The vehicle driving assist apparatus pauses the constant speed moving control and executes an intermittent braking control when the own vehicle moves down a slope having a gradient smaller than a predetermined gradient threshold while the constant speed moving control is executed. The intermittent braking control is a control to alternately apply and stop applying the braking force to the own vehicle. The braking force applied to the own vehicle by the intermittent braking control is greater than the braking force applied to the own vehicle by the constant speed moving control.

An apparatus, method and computer program product provide a map layer of one or more temporary dynamic obstructions. For example, the apparatus is configured to receive vehicle/driver behavior data associated with a vehicle at a portion of a road, determine a likelihood of a temporary dynamic obstruction existing proximate to the portion based on the vehicle behavior data, and update a datapoint of a map layer based on the likelihood. The datapoint indicates a state of existence of the temporary dynamic obstruction at the portion.

A method for operating a vehicle having a transmission and a braking device during a journey, during which the vehicle, the transmission of which comprises at least one form-fitting shifting element, moves along a roadway, wherein during the journey of the motor vehicle, its shifting element is movable into formfitting interaction with at least one further component, an anti-lock braking operation is carried out by the braking device, in which at least one braking torque to be applied by the braking device to at least one wheel of the vehicle for braking the wheel is limited at least temporarily to a specifiable value by a regulating device of the vehicle in order to thereby at least temporarily prevent the wheel from locking relative to the roadway.

A method for anticipating a lane change by another vehicle ahead of a vehicle equipped with a sensing system having a camera and a radar sensor includes processing captured image data to determine lane markers of a traffic lane along which the equipped vehicle is traveling, and to determine presence of another vehicle in an adjacent traffic lane. Responsive to processing of captured radar data, an oblique angle of a direction of travel of the other vehicle relative to the traffic lane is determined. Responsive to determination that the oblique angle of the direction of travel of the other vehicle is indicative of a cut-in intent of the other vehicle, and based on the determined range to the determined other vehicle, the system anticipates the cut-in of the other vehicle and applies a braking system of the equipped vehicle to mitigate collision with the determined other vehicle.

A control method for a self-driving vehicle provided with an engine as a driving source, comprising: determining whether or not coast stop is executed in accordance with required driving force of the vehicle, the coast stop being for automatically stopping the engine during the vehicle traveling at speed not more than predetermined vehicle speed; setting the required driving force so that an intervehicular distance between the host vehicle and a preceding vehicle becomes closer to a predetermined distance under presence of the preceding vehicle in front of the host vehicle; predicting a behavior of the preceding vehicle from a situation in front of the preceding vehicle under presence of the preceding vehicle; and prohibiting release of the coast stop for the engine during an automatic stop when future deceleration of the preceding vehicle is predicted in response to an expansion of the intervehicular distance.

A control device obtains a specification of a vehicle-mounted device which is mounted on a vehicle, and implements a control according to the specification. The vehicle-mounted device includes a transmission unit that transmits a specific signal that enables the specification of the vehicle-mounted device to be obtained. The control device includes a receiving unit which is configured to be able to receive the specific signal, and a learning unit that learns that the specification of the vehicle-mounted device is a first specification if the receiving unit does not receive the specific signal, and learns that the specification of the vehicle-mounted device is a second specification, which is different from the first specification, when the receiving unit receives the specific signal.

A control system includes a controller configured to determine a target speed between a first target position of a haul vehicle relative to a harvester and a second target position of the haul vehicle relative to the harvester based on a flow rate of agricultural product through a conveyor of the harvester. The haul vehicle is coupled to a storage compartment, an outlet of the conveyor is aligned with a first unloading point within the storage compartment while the haul vehicle is positioned at the first target position, and the outlet of the conveyor is aligned with a second unloading point within the storage compartment while the haul vehicle is positioned at the second target position. Furthermore, the controller is configured to output a control signal indicative of instructions to direct the haul vehicle from the first target position to the second target position at the target speed.

A method includes an initial trailer health assessment and real-time trailer health monitoring. The initial trailer health assessment includes autonomous pre-trip maneuvers of the autonomous vehicle during a first time period, and detecting a pre-trip vehicle health condition. A vehicle health score is calculated based on the pre-trip vehicle health condition. If the vehicle health score is at least a threshold value, real-time trailer health monitoring is performed during a trip of the autonomous vehicle during a second time period, by actively monitoring vehicle dynamics data and/or image data associated with the autonomous vehicle, to determine a fault condition of the autonomous vehicle. If the fault condition meets a first criteria, a control parameter and/or a travel plan of the autonomous vehicle is adjusted. If the fault condition meets a second criteria different from the first criteria, a signal is sent to cause the autonomous vehicle to cease movement.

A method for executing multi-mode turns with a work vehicle includes transmitting initial steering and braking commands for controlling an operation of a steering actuator(s) and a steering brake(s), respectively, of the work vehicle to initiate execution of a multi-mode turning operation. The method also includes determining allowable steering and braking rates for the work vehicle based at least in part on an actual steering rate and an actual braking rate, respectively, of the work vehicle during execution of the multi-mode turning operation, and determining updated steering and braking commands based at least in part on the allowable steering and braking rates. In addition, the method includes transmitting the updated steering and braking commands to control the operation of the steering actuator(s) and the steering brake(s), respectively, to continue execution of the multi-mode turning operation.
