A braking control device includes a stop holding controller and an uneven-ground traveling determination unit. After the vehicle makes a stop and a brake operation performed by a driver who drives the vehicle is canceled, the stop holding controller is configured to perform execution of a stop holding control that includes holding braking force of the vehicle and canceling the braking force in response to a predetermined start operation performed by the driver. The uneven-ground traveling determination unit is configured to determine whether the vehicle is traveling on an uneven ground. The stop holding controller is configured to disable the execution of the stop holding control in a case where the uneven-ground traveling determination unit determines that the vehicle is traveling on the uneven ground.

Land vehicles are disclosed. 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 system and a method for vehicle stop control are operable such that when it is detected that a vehicle is driving in a direction opposite to the direction of a current gear stage of the vehicle, the driver is warned and the vehicle enters an emergency braking state so as to reduce the risk of an accident and improve stability of a braking system. The vehicle stop control method performed by a controller of the vehicle includes steps of: converting vehicle driving environment information into data to be used as system input information; checking whether a controller related to each of driving and braking systems of the vehicle operates normally; determining whether the vehicle is driving in a reverse direction; and performing vehicle emergency stop control when the vehicle is driving in the reverse direction.

A vehicle control apparatus and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The vehicle control apparatus includes an inputter, a determiner, and a controller. The inputter receives an automatic vehicle hold (AVH) switch operation signal from an AVH device, and receives a current vehicle movement value sensed by a sensing device and a current vehicle brake force value of a brake device that generates brake force in response to activation of the AVH device. The determiner determines whether the received AVH switch operation signal transitions from an ON state to an AVH entry state, determines whether vehicle movement occurs on the basis of the received current vehicle movement value during an AVH retention time in the AVH entry state, and determines that the current vehicle brake force value is in an abnormal state when vehicle movement occurs. The controller receives the current vehicle movement value and the current vehicle brake force value, and transmits a command for judgment to the determiner.

Disclosed are an EPB compatible with an autohold function, a starting method and a vehicle. According to the EPB, during starting, by converting the vehicle from a brake state where the EPB acts into a brake state where an autohold function acts and enabling the vehicle to start from the brake state where the autohold function acts, the vehicle is started stably, the starting noise of the vehicle is reduced and the driving experience is improved.

A motor vehicle has an electronically controllable parking lock and an electronically controllable parking brake, which can be controlled individually or in combination. A device having an electronic control unit and a central operating element associated with the parking lock and the parking brake is provided. When the motor vehicle is at a standstill and the central operating element is actuated, the parking lock and the parking brake can be controlled in a specific type of parking-lock and/or parking-brake activation. In a first specific type, during a first actuation of the central operating element, at least the parking brake is automatically activated first. If the central operating element is then re-actuated within a predefined time window, or if the central operating element remains actuated for a predefined minimum time period, the driver is offered at least one possibility of manually selecting a specific type of parking-lock and/or parking-brake activation.

A vehicle braking force proportional to a gradient is reduced to zero after the vehicle is stopped by the braking force, thereby reducing the time for applying a braking force. A system and method for vehicle control includes a processor and a memory. The vehicle control method including a first step of the processor generating a command for applying a first braking force preset to hold the vehicle in a stopped state, a second step of the processor acquiring, from a gradient detection device, a gradient of a road surface on which the vehicle is traveling after applying the first braking force, the gradient being detected by the gradient detection device, a third step of the processor computing a second braking force proportional to the gradient of the road surface, and a fourth step of the processor applying the second braking force to the braking device.

R90 is a system that does not allow gear vehicles to go back without the driver's discretion. R90 also takes the brake pedal when the deviation is more than ninety degrees, while vehicle is out of the driver's control and the vehicle bottom moves forward from its head.

Methods and systems are provided for mitigating reverse vehicle rollback. In one example, in response to a request to shift a transmission from reverse to forward when vehicle speed is elevated, vehicle brakes are applied and the actual transmission shift is delayed until the vehicle motion in the reverse direction is sufficiently decelerated. Additionally, the engine may be stalled and restarted before the transmission shift is performed.

A method for operating a tractive vehicle and a vehicle combination are disclosed. A tractive vehicle includes a first friction brake device for generating a first stopping braking-force, a traction device for generating a tractive force and a control device for controlling at least the traction device. The method includes a step whereby the traction device is activated if a first undesired kinematic state is detected. Activation of the traction device would take place in such a way that a tractive force, counteracting the first undesired kinematic state, is generated and provided for deceleration to a standstill and/or for holding the tractive vehicle at a standstill.
