Controlling machine operation including limiting machine speed
According to one example, a system for control of a movement of a working vehicle within a work area is disclosed. The system can optionally include a steering system configured to direct the movement of the working vehicle, an object detection system, as speed sensor, and a controller. The object detection system can have one or more sensors configured to detect an object within the work area. The speed sensor can be configured to measure a speed of the working vehicle over a surface within the work area. The controller can be communicatively coupled to the steering system, the object detection system and the speed sensor. The controller can be configured to control the speed of the working vehicle based upon a steering angle of the working vehicle.
SENSING APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE, SENSING METHOD FOR VEHICLE AND CONTROL APPARATUS FOR VEHICLE
The present invention provides a sensing apparatus for a vehicle, the apparatus including: a sensing unit that is configured to sense at least one of vehicle speed information, yaw rate information, and steering angle information, and to sense a forward object existing within a sensing distance set in advance; a calculator that is configured to calculate at least one of a driving curvature radius, which is calculated based on the vehicle speed information and the yaw rate information, and a steering angular speed, which is calculated based on the steering angle information; and an adjusting unit that is configured to adjust the sensing distance to be decreased when the driving curvature radius is less than, or equal to, a predetermined curvature radius or when the steering angular speed is less than, or equal to, a predetermined angular speed.
Vehicle control method and vehicle, non-transitory storage medium and chip
A vehicle control method, vehicle and non-transitory computer readable storage medium that enables a current transmission ratio of a vehicle to be decreased prior to a driver turning a steering wheel so that a larger steering angle of a wheel can be obtained when the driver turns the steering wheel at a smaller angle in emergency driving situations.
Steering method and industrial truck
A steering method for an industrial truck includes providing the industrial truck comprising at least two driven wheels configured to run in different tracks when moving in a longitudinal travel direction, each of the at least two driven wheels comprising a drive system. At least one first wheel of the at least two driven wheels is configured to be steerable in the longitudinal travel direction. At least one second wheel of the at least two driven wheels is configured to initially run on an inside during a cornering. The drive system of the at least one second wheel is disengaged from the longitudinal travel direction when a predetermined steering angle of the at least one first wheel is reached.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR USING ROAD PREVIEW TO CONTROL VEHICLE VELOCITY DURING CORNERING
Methods and systems for providing driving assistance in a vehicle. In one embodiment, a method includes: determining, by a processor, curvature data associated with a roadway ahead of the vehicle; determining, by the processor, velocity data based on the curvature data, steering data of the vehicle, and set speed data associated with a semi-autonomous control system of the vehicle; and generating, by the processor, control commands to the semi-autonomous control system to control the vehicle to a speed other than a set speed of the set speed data based on the velocity data.
