APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING CLUSTER OF VEHICLE
An apparatus for controlling a cluster of a vehicle may include, an oil pressure switch (OPS) mounted at an oil passage of an engine, a driving information detection unit configured of receiving an oil pressure signal from the OPS through a connector of the OPS, an OPS connection determination unit configured of determining that the OPS is disconnected when a first waveform voltage determined from a first oil pressure signal detected before the engine is started is the same as a second waveform voltage determined from a second oil pressure signal detected after the engine is started, and a control unit configured of controlling the cluster to turn on a warning lamp in a response that the control unit receives disconnection event information related to the OPS.
IMPLEMENT PROTECTION SYSTEM
An agricultural system that includes a towable agricultural implement. The towable agricultural implement includes a tow bar assembly. A wing tool bar pivotally couples to the tow bar assembly or to a work vehicle. The wing tool bar is configured to transition between a deployed configuration and a retracted configuration. A plurality of row units attach to the wing tool bar. An implement protection system detects an obstruction in a path of the towable agricultural implement. The implement protection system includes a proximity sensor coupled to the towable agricultural implement. The proximity sensor emits a proximity signal indicative of the obstruction. A controller couples to the proximity sensor and receives the proximity signal indicative of the obstruction and emits a warning signal.
Blind spot module with off indicator
A vehicular blind spot detection system for alerting a driver of a motor vehicle to an object in a blind spot zone of the vehicle includes a sensor configured to detect the presence of an object proximate to the vehicle in the blind spot zone. A first indicator is disposed on an outside rearview assembly and is configured to indicate that an object is in the blind spot zone of the vehicle. A controller is operably coupled with at least one of the sensor and the first indicator, wherein the controller may be activated and deactivated by a user. A second indicator is disposed proximate the first indicator and is configured to indicate that the controller has been deactivated.
User-defined vehicle notification
A system and method of executing a user-defined notification task, and wherein the method includes: receiving a user-defined notification task at the vehicle via one or more user interfaces, wherein the user-defined notification task specifies a trigger event and a notification action, the trigger event being selectable from the plurality of predefined trigger events via the one or more user interfaces, and the notification action being configurable via selection of one or more notification settings via the plurality of notification settings; in response to receiving the user-defined notification task at the vehicle, configuring one or more vehicle system modules to monitor for an occurrence of the trigger condition of the user-defined notification event; and in response to detecting the occurrence of the trigger event of the user-defined notification task, executing the notification action so that a vehicle user is notified of the occurrence of the trigger event.
Sensor-based acknowledgments between road traffic participants
A computer-implemented method, a computer program product, and a computer system for sensor-based acknowledgments between road traffic participants. One or more cameras on a vehicle identify a gaze direction of a driver of the vehicle. The one or more cameras identify a focused eye state of the driver. One or more object recognition sensors on the vehicle identify objects around the vehicle. The computer system determines whether an object is identified in the gaze direction. In response to the object being identified in the gaze direction, the computer system instructs a light indicator to emit light in a direction toward the object. The light indicator notifies a traffic participant associated with the object that the driver has seen the object.
GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR DISPLAY OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE BEHAVIORS
Techniques are disclosed for creating and presenting a graphical user interface for display of autonomous vehicle behaviors. The techniques include determining a trajectory of a vehicle operating in a real-world environment. Sensors of the vehicle obtain sensor data representing an object in the real-world environment. A maneuver of the vehicle to avoid a collision with the object is predicted based on the sensor data and the trajectory of the vehicle. It is determined that a passenger comfort level of a passenger riding in the vehicle will decrease based on the maneuver of the vehicle. The passenger comfort level is measured by passenger sensors of the vehicle. A graphical user interface is generated including representations of the vehicle, the object, and a graphic, text, or a symbol alerting the passenger of the predicted maneuver. The graphical user interface is transmitted to a display device of the vehicle.
Car and neighboring vehicle lane departure warning system and method
A car and a neighboring vehicle lane departure warning system and method are provided. The system includes a cloud server and a plurality of cars connected to the cloud server. Each car includes a vehicle body and a neighboring vehicle lane departure warning apparatus disposed on the vehicle body. The cloud server outputs a reminder signal to the cars within a specific distance of the neighboring vehicle after receiving a neighboring vehicle lane departure message, so that the drivers can be informed in time that the neighboring vehicle moves out of its lane, and can keep a proper distance from the neighboring vehicle in advance to prevent accidents.
Light emitting unit for conveyance
It is intended to cause a light emitter to properly emit light for notifying an occupant of a movement direction of an object approaching a conveyance. A vehicle lighting device includes sensors (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) configured to detect an approaching object approaching a vehicle, light emitters (5) attached to the vehicle, and a control device (2) configured to control the light emitter (5) when the sensor (3a, 3b, 3c, 3d) has detected the approaching object. The control device (2) controls the light emitter (5) such that a light emitting spot of the light emitter (5) moves along a direction corresponding to a movement direction of the approaching object.
HEADS-UP DISPLAY VISOR DEVICE FOR AN AUTOMOBILE
Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a heads-up display visor for a vehicle, such as an automobile, to provide driver assistance information to the driver. Features include a display screen that is sized and positioned relative to the driver's conventional sun visor, so as to eliminate the need to project images onto the windshield and/or to have a projector located on the vehicle dashboard. In certain embodiments, the heads-up display visor is portable, and is affixed to the driver's conventional sun visor by a clip, thereby allowing a driver to move the device from one vehicle to another.
CAMERA System FOR USE ON VEHICLE
The present invention is a single camera or multiple cameras on telescoping pole that can be mounted on top surface of vehicles such as automobiles, trucks, buses, trains, airplanes, toys etc. For easier explanation of the invention, focus is given on the application of the camera system on automobiles (cars). Four cameras mounted in different directions on the pole give wider field of view for safe operation of the vehicle. The camera system also includes a radar. The telescoping pole helps to raise the cameras unit with radar(LDAR) above the top surface of the vehicle. The first camera points to the front direction of the car, the second camera points to the rear direction of the car, the third camera points to a blind spot on the left side of the car and the fourth camera points to a blind spot on the right side the car. The inventions can be easily modified to a single or dual camera on top of pole for a cheaper alternative camera system, first camera can be mounted on the pole to show front view and the second camera may be mounted on the pole to show the rear view. The system can also keep cameras that point to the blind spots and ignore cameras facing the front and rear views.
