Systems and methods for controlling a vehicle. One example system includes a deceleration actuator coupled to a first wheel of the vehicle and an electronic processor communicatively coupled to the deceleration actuator. The electronic processor is configured to receive a vehicle park command. The electronic processor is configured to, responsive to receiving the vehicle park command, determine a maximum holding pressure threshold.

The electronic processor is configured to, responsive to determining that the requested braking pressure does not exceed the maximum holding pressure threshold, control the deceleration actuator to apply, to the first wheel during a hold time, a holding braking pressure equivalent to the requested braking pressure.

The present disclosure relates to a safe driving support system based on a mobile Internet of Things (IoT) agent, and a processing method thereof. The safe driving support system based on a mobile IoT agent may provide an accident response service for preventing a traffic accident in advance by obtaining GNSS-based position information of each of vehicles, collecting various information on a driver's status and a vehicle driving status of the vehicle that is being driven in real time to construct big data, and analyzing and repeatedly learning the collected information. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide the ground for providing various services capable of decreasing traffic accidents by obtaining driving information of a short cycle using a GNSS platform and analyzing the driving information to apply the driving information to traffic safety and accident prevention activities.

A control apparatus for performing travel control of a vehicle comprises a sensor configured to detect a state around the vehicle, and a travel controller configured to perform travel control for automated driving based on a detection result of the sensor. The travel controller is configured to, in a case where a predetermined condition is satisfied, select a target stop position located in a latitudinal direction with respect to a direction in which the vehicle moves, according to selection criteria, and to stop the vehicle at the target stop position. The selection criteria include a comparison between a speed of the vehicle and a threshold speed.

Disclosed is a method for actuating a parking brake system in a utility vehicle. In an example, the parking brake system includes an operational actuator for actuating a parking brake and a control unit for controlling the operational actuator. When the utility vehicle is stopped, a stored brake-application characteristic is selected for the parking brake as a function of a current vehicle condition of the utility vehicle. Based on the selected application characteristic, the operational actuator is activated by the control unit in order to apply the parking brake. In addition, or alternately, when the utility vehicle is started, a stored brake-release characteristic is selected for the parking brake as a function of a current vehicle condition of the utility vehicle. Based on the selected brake-release characteristic, the operational actuator is activated by the control unit in order to release the parking brake.

A system and method control an automobile by decelerating the automobile at a first deceleration using a braking mechanism in response to detecting that a parking brake switch is turned on, a second deceleration which is smaller than the first deceleration, in response to not detecting that the parking brake switch is turned on and determining that the driver is incapacitated, and a third deceleration which is smaller than the first deceleration, in response to determining that an SOS switch is turned on, detecting that the parking brake switch is changed from on to off, and not determining that the driver is incapacitated.
