At least one embodiment of the present disclosure provides an electric booster brake apparatus including an electric booster unit, an electronic stability control (ESC) operating unit, and an electric-booster control unit. The electric booster unit has a motor, and a motor piston and a master cylinder and pressurizes the master cylinder by adjusting a displacement of the motor piston. The ESC operating unit includes a pressure sensor measuring pressure in the master cylinder and calculates a required braking pressure. The electric-booster control unit controls the position of the motor piston. The electric-booster control unit includes a feedforward control unit for converting the value of the required braking pressure into a motor piston displacement, and a feedback control unit for calculating a compensation displacement of the motor piston based on a difference between the value of the required braking pressure and the value of the pressure in the master cylinder.

A control system includes a transmission and a controller configured to receive a vehicle stop command; determine a ground speed; compare the ground speed to first and second predetermined speed thresholds; generate, when the ground speed exceeds the second predetermined speed threshold, a downshift command; generate, when the ground speed is greater than the first predetermined speed threshold and less than or equal to the second predetermined speed threshold, a shuttle shift command; determine, when the ground speed is less than or equal to the first predetermined speed threshold, if the transmission is operating in the first or second mode; select, upon determining the operating mode, a four-square clutch; and at least partially engage the selected four-square clutch to slow or stop the work vehicle.

A system for controlling launch of a vehicle includes a pressure-providing device constructed and arranged to deliver a pressure medium to wheel brakes of the vehicle. A pressure chamber is fluidly connected with the pressure-providing device and is configured for containing the pressure medium. An electronic control unit has a processor circuit that is constructed and arranged, during a launch mode of the vehicle, to control the pressure-providing device to cause fluid from the wheel brakes to be directed to the pressure chamber so as to release the pressure medium from the wheel brakes, permitting launch of the vehicle.

A system and method for operating a motor vehicle with an electric parking brake. The system includes a clutch sensor, generating a clutch sensor signal representing operation of a clutch of the motor vehicle. A gear selection sensor generates a sensor signal indicating a particular gear selection or position of a manual gearbox of the motor vehicle. Using these and if needed other various inputs, the system generates a deactivation signal for releasing the electric parking brake when a clutch operation is detected and the vehicle gearbox is positioned or has a gear selection other than a neutral position of the manual gearbox.

A rotation restriction control device comprises a selection unit that selects a rotation restriction state, on the basis of a road surface when parking a vehicle traveling on the road surface, and a control unit that controls a rotation restriction state of a restriction mechanism in accordance with a selection result from the selection unit when parking the vehicle.

A method for parking brake adaptable assistance on a vehicle, the vehicle comprising a parking brake and a set of sensors, and at least one electronic control unit controlling the parking brake and the set of sensors, each sensor being monitored by the at least one control unit to measure a specific parameter, and a set of actuators, each actuator being activated by the at least one electronic control unit to engage a specific action or reminder, characterized in that the method comprises a first list (102) of situations defined by a set of valued parameters measured by the sensors, and a second list (101) of parking brake actions or reminders, and a list of relations (103) establishing a relation between each situation of the first list and an action or reminder from the second list and further comprising the following steps: i. determine the values of the parameters measured by the sensors; ii. determine the situation defined by the set of values determined at step i. iii. engage the action or reminder which is in relation with the situation determined at step ii., according to the list of relations (103).

A land vehicle includes a frame structure, a plurality of wheels supported by the frame structure, and a body supported by the frame structure. The frame structure includes an operator cage that at least partially defines an operator cabin and a rear compartment positioned rearward of the operator cage in a longitudinal direction. The body includes a first sidewall arranged on one side of the vehicle and a second sidewall arranged on another side of the vehicle opposite the first sidewall.

A vehicle control device is mounted on a vehicle including a driving actuator configured to apply a driving force and a braking actuator configured to apply a braking force. The vehicle control device includes a processor. The processor is configured to correct, when a predetermined condition including at least that the vehicle is decelerating is satisfied, the required driving force and the required braking force so as to increase the required driving force and the required braking force such that a sum of a magnitude of the required driving force and a magnitude of the required braking force is equal to or larger than a magnitude of the component of the gravity acting on the vehicle in the movement direction of the vehicle.

A method and a corresponding device are provided for preventing an undesired vehicle motion during an automatic switch-off process of a drive machine in a motor vehicle. An automatic switch-off process is initiated by a start-stop apparatus before the standstill is reached if the motor vehicle is braked because of a deceleration request and the speed of the vehicle is less than a specified first speed threshold. A brake pressure of suitable magnitude is caused to be locked-in in the brake system even before the vehicle reaches the standstill if a first signal indicating that the vehicle standstill will soon be reached and a second signal indicating that an inability of the drive machine to operate in a self-sustaining manner will soon be reached are acquired because of an initiated automatic switch-off process of the drive machine.

Determining a brake torque reduction parameter for brake torque reduction in a motor vehicle having a brake holding assist function. The determination including detecting a motion parameter of the motor vehicle and analyzing the detected motion parameter to determine a correction value for a brake torque reduction parameter. Adjusting the brake torque reduction parameter using the correction value determines an optimized brake torque reduction parameter. The optimized brake torque reduction parameter is used as a brake torque reduction parameter of the brake torque reduction.
