A vehicle includes an accelerator pedal, an electric machine, and a controller. The electric machine is configured to propel and brake the vehicle according to a one-pedal driving operation. The controller is programmed to, in response to depressing the accelerator pedal, command a desired torque to the electric machine. The controller is further programmed to, adjust the desired torque based on a gradient of a road surface that the vehicle is positioned on. The controller is further programmed to, in response to movement of the electric machine in a direction that is opposite to a desired direction while the adjusted desired torque is being applied, increase the adjusted desired torque by a compensation torque such that movement of the electric machine transitions to the desired direction.

The present disclosure relates to a foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle, and is configured so that in an autonomous traveling situation, an accelerator pedal apparatus and a brake pedal apparatus are slid and moved to the left and the right of a dash panel and hidden, respectively, and therefore, in hidden states of being inoperable by a driver, and in a manual driving mode, the accelerator pedal apparatus and the brake pedal apparatus are slid and moved to be gathered to the center of the dash panel and exposed, respectively, and therefore, in popped-up states of being operable by the driver.

A foldable pedal apparatus for vehicles is provided in which pedal pads are rotated rearwards from a footrest panel and thus enter a pop-up state to be manipulable by a driver in a manual driving mode in which the driver directly drives a vehicle. The pedal pads are rotated forwards maximally close to the front surface of the footrest panel and thus enter a hidden state without exposure to be nonmanipulable by the driver in an autonomous driving situation.

A foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle includes pedal assemblies including pedal arms and pedal pads that are rotated rearwards and are thus popped up to a driver so as to be operated by the driver in a manual driving mode in which the driver directly drives a vehicle. Also, the pedal assemblies including the pedal arms and the pedal pads may be rotated forwards and upwards, so as to be located close to a front surface of a footrest panel and thus enter a hidden state in which exposure of the pedal assemblies to the driver is interrupted so as not to be operated by the driver in an autonomous driving situation.

A foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle includes a misoperation prevention pad, an accelerator pedal pad and a brake pedal pad. In a manual driving mode in which a driver directly drives, the accelerator pedal pad and the brake pedal pad protrude and are exposed toward the driver and then enter into a popped-up state so that operation of the pedal pads by the driver may be performed. In an autonomous driving situation, the accelerator pedal pad and the brake pedal pad are hidden and then enter into a hidden state in which exposure toward the driver is blocked so that the operation of the accelerator pedal pad and the brake pedal pad by the driver is unable to be performed. Furthermore, the misoperation prevention pad is provided between the accelerator pedal pad and the brake pedal pad.

The present disclosure discloses a foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle in which a pedal pad 210 protrudes to be exposed to the interior of a vehicle and pop up toward a driver in a manual driving mode in which the driver is actively involved in driving, in which the pedal pad 210 is inserted into a footrest panel 10 such that exposure toward the driver is blocked in a hide state in an autonomous driving mode, and which may generate a signal relating to a pedal function by operating the pedal pad 210 by pressure through the pressure-operated pedal assembly 200 in a pop-up state.

An operation control method of a foldable pedal apparatus, is capable of controlling an operation of the foldable pedal apparatus such that, when a starting-off state is changed to a starting-on state, a foldable brake pedal is popped up first, and then a foldable accelerator pedal is popped up with a time difference, and when the starting-on state is changed to the starting-off state, the foldable accelerator pedal is hidden first, and then the foldable brake pedal is hidden with a time difference.

The invention relates to a control device for controlling an engine driven transport apparatus. The control device comprises a fitness apparatus having a base part and at least one movable part movable with respect to the base part for enabling a user to perform a physical exercise. The control device further comprises a sensor device for sensing a degree of physical exercise. The control device is arranged for controlling engine power of an engine of the transport apparatus at least partly based on the sensed degree of physical exercise. The fitness apparatus comprises a flywheel rotatably connected to the base part. The fitness apparatus is arranged for setting the flywheel into motion by means of at least one of the one or multiple movable parts. The sensor device is arranged to sense the degree of performed physical exercise at least partly by sensing a degree of motion of the flywheel.

A pedal system for a vehicle, a vehicle including such a pedal system, a method for manufacturing such a pedal system and a method for operating such a pedal system. The pedal system includes a pedal arm, a support member, a first locking unit and a second locking unit. The pedal arm is arranged at the support member pivotably around the support member. The first locking unit is arranged at the support member and couplable with the pedal arm to move the pedal arm to a first position. The second locking unit is connected to the pedal arm to release the pedal arm to a second position. The first locking unit is different from the second locking unit.

An electronic pedal apparatus is configured to perform an electronic pedal function by utilizing a basic configuration and also perform a foldable function by adding some elements to the basic configuration to be usefully used in an autonomous vehicle.
