A vehicle control system includes a recognition unit that recognizes lane markers on a road; and a steering control unit that performs first steering control so that a subject vehicle does not deviate from a traveling lane on which the subject vehicle travels on the basis of a lane marker demarcating the traveling lane among the lane markers recognized by the recognition unit, and when a lane marker demarcating the traveling lane is not recognized by the recognition unit in front of the subject vehicle or when an index value indicating a degree of recognition of the lane marker is smaller than a threshold value, the steering control unit limits the first steering control, determines a target steering angle in a range of predetermined angles with reference to a steering angle at the time of traveling in a straight line of the subject vehicle, and performs second steering control at the determined target steering angle.

The invention relates to a method for operating a transversal guidance system of a motor vehicle through two independent channels to perform automatic transversal guidance interventions. Through the first channel, transversal interventions are performed via a first transversal guidance actuator controlled by means of a driver-operated steering handle. Through the second channel, a vehicle system sets a target roll angle, and a second transversal guidance actuator is controlled by a transversal guidance system that performs a transversal guidance intervention based on the roll angle. The vehicle system displays the roll angle as a notification to the driver of the transversal guidance intervention. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle configured to perform the method.

A vehicle control facility for the automated control of an electrical road vehicle for a route system with an energy-supply system that includes a lane-bound energy supply line, in particular an overhead line system. A position-determining unit determines a geographical position of the electrical road vehicle. A specific-lane-determining unit determines position data for a specific lane assigned to the lane-bound energy supply line. A communication interface transmits current relative positions of infrastructure features with respect to the electrical road vehicle to an external central specific-lane-determining facility and receives position data. A vehicle-control unit controls the electrical road vehicle with respect to the determined specific lane in dependence on the determined relative position of the specific lane.

A road-surface-condition estimation device is configured by a tire-side device and a vehicle-side device so as to grasp a road surface condition based on road surface condition data transmitted from a tire-side device. As a result, the road surface condition or a road surface of a traveling road surface of a vehicle can be accurately detected, and a more accurate lane keeping control can be performed according to the detection result. In particular, since the tire-side device estimates the road surface condition by detecting the vibration of a ground contact surface of the tire, the road surface condition can be estimated more accurately. Therefore, the more accurate lane keeping control can be performed.

Described are apparatus and method for estimating a position of a vehicle, and a vehicle using the same. A vehicle location estimation apparatus includes a vehicle sensor configured to detect a vehicle, a communication unit configured to receive traveling information of a further vehicle from the further vehicle, and a controller configured to detect a position of the vehicle and a traveling trajectory of the further vehicle based on information of vehicles detected by the vehicle sensor and traveling information of the further vehicle transmitted from the further vehicle, and to predict a traveling route of the further vehicle, to match the predicted traveling route of the further vehicle with an expected traveling route on a map, thereby correcting the position of the vehicle.

A method for performing closed-loop control of a motor vehicle having a brake system with a stability control system comprises comparing an actual yaw rate with a setpoint yaw rate which is calculated using a model. A yaw moment of a closed-loop or open-loop assistance control of an assistance system for lane guidance or transverse guidance is taken into account during the calculation of the setpoint yaw rate. An electronic brake control unit which is suitable for carrying out the method and is connected to at least one vehicle sensor, in particular a steering angle sensor, yaw rate sensor and/or wheel rotational speed sensors. The brake control unit can bring about, through actuation of actuators, a driver-independent increase in and a modulation of the braking forces at the individual wheels of the vehicle.

A drive assist apparatus includes a position acquisition unit that acquires a position of an own vehicle, a position of a tollgate present ahead of the position of the own vehicle, and a position of a target lane in a road present ahead of the tollgate, a scheduled traveling route creation unit that creates a scheduled traveling route from the position of the own vehicle to the position of the target lane through the position of the tollgate, and a travel control unit that controls the own vehicle so as to travel along the scheduled traveling route.

The present disclosure provides an assisted driving method, including: monitoring, in response to that a driving speed of a vehicle is less than or equal to a preset speed and a steering wheel direction is deflected within a first preset time period, an instantaneous oil consumption value of the vehicle; determining whether the instantaneous oil consumption value of the vehicle reaches a first preset reference value within a second preset time period; and sending a reminding message in response to that the instantaneous oil consumption value of the vehicle reaches the first preset reference value within the second preset time period. The present disclosure further provides an assisted driving apparatus, an electronic apparatus, a vehicle-mounted system, and a storage medium.

A driver assistance apparatus for a vehicle includes a camera configured to photograph an image of surroundings of a vehicle; an interface; and a processor. The processor is configured to detect, based on the image photographed by the camera, a lane in which the vehicle travels; acquire braking state information of the vehicle; and provide, to a steering apparatus, a signal for steering the vehicle or provide, to a brake apparatus, a signal for one-sided braking through the interface to maintain the vehicle within the lane in which the vehicle travels during a braking of the vehicle based on the acquired braking state information.
