A foldable pedal apparatus of a vehicle with a hysteresis module, may include a pedal pad is in a popped-up state of protruding from a pedal housing to be exposed toward a driver, in a manual driving mode in which the driver directly drives the vehicle; the pedal pad is in a hidden state of being inserted into the pedal housing and blocked from being exposed to the driver, in the autonomous driving mode in which the driver does not directly drive the vehicle; and hysteresis may be implemented by a hysteresis module when the pedal pad is operated.

A motor vehicle includes a steering wheel and/or pedals that can be moved from an active driving position to an inactive or stowed position. The motor vehicle may include a pedal shield that substantially blocks a driver's access to the pedals when the pedals are in an inactive position. The steering wheel and pedals may shift laterally simultaneously between the active and inactive positions or configurations.

According to one embodiment, a vehicle includes an electrified propulsion system having an electric machine powered by a traction battery over an electrical distribution system (EDS). A controller is programmed to, reduce a speed limit of the vehicle from a maximum speed limit to an EDS speed limit in response to a measured average current of the EDS being within a threshold percentage of an average current limit of the EDS, and, in response to a measured speed of the vehicle exceeding the EDS speed limit, command a torque to the electric machine that is less than a driver-demanded torque such that the vehicle is propelled at a speed below the EDS speed limit.

A foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle includes: a pedal housing rotatably coupled to a footrest panel disposed below a driver seat, configured to come in contact with a front inclined surface of the footrest panel when rotating forward, and configured to come in contact with a bottom surface of the footrest panel when rotating rearward; a brake pedal pad rotatably coupled to the pedal housing and configured to be rotated by a driver; and an accelerator pedal pad rotatably coupled to the pedal housing and configured to be rotated by the driver, wherein when the pedal housing is in contact with the front inclined surface of the footrest panel by rotating forward, the brake pedal pad and the accelerator pedal pad are folded to be positioned between the front inclined surface and the pedal housing and are kept in a hidden state.

A foldable pedal apparatus for a vehicle is configured so that a pedal pad is pop up in a manual driving mode in which a driver drives the vehicle himself or herself so that operation by the driver is possible, the pedal pad is hidden in an autonomous driving situation so that operation by the driver is impossible, and a gear device transmitting power of motors generates a boosting force to implement a foldable function of the pedal pad.

A working machine according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an operator seat, an operation base arranged in front of the operator seat, an operation member arranged on the operation base and configured to be gripped and moved, and an armrest member extending from the operation base toward a side of the operator seat.

An operation stabilization system for a foldable pedal apparatus of a vehicle includes: a first battery and a second battery disposed in the vehicle; a first vehicle controller and a second vehicle controller receiving power from the first battery and the second battery, respectively, and transmitting operation signals, respectively; a foldable pedal controller disposed in the foldable pedal apparatus to generate control signals by receiving the signals from the first vehicle controller and the second vehicle controller; and a first motor and a second motor disposed in the foldable pedal apparatus and connected to the first battery and the second battery to receive the power from the first and second batteries, respectively.

A lift truck employs forward and reverse pedals connected through respective cams having different upper and lower cam profiles that engage to provide asymmetric reciprocal pedal motion. For example, first pedal depression causes a first cam upper profile to engage with a second cam upper profile and cause increased elevation of a second pedal, and first pedal depression causes a first cam lower profile to disengage with a second cam lower profile associated with the second pedal, such that first pedal depression is greater than the increased elevation of the second pedal.

An assembly for a vehicle comprising a mechanism for adjusting the angular position of a vehicle pedal includes a motor for generating and transmitting rotary motion to a rotating member, a first pedal assembly having a first support frame with a first slotted hole, rotatably supported on a first fulcrum and supporting a first pedal, a first motion conversion mechanism, having a first rotating member rotatable about a first rotation axis and a first translating member, receiving and converting rotational motion into translational motion, and a first pin, for joint translation with the first translating member and sliding inside the first slotted hole. Sliding of the first pin draws the first support frame in rotation about the first fulcrum between a first and a second angular position. The mechanism includes a second pedal assembly. The first rotating member is connected to the motor to receive rotary motion. A second rotating member of a second motion conversion mechanism is connected in rotation to the first rotating member through a flexible transmission.

The present disclosure relates to a device in which a brake member and an accelerator member are arranged in an actuation unit for actuating the brake and accelerator in a vehicle. The actuation unit can be moved from an active driving position during autonomous driving into an at least approximately horizontal position to form a leg rest, the brake member and the accelerator member being deactivated.
