A method for coordinating vehicles of a vehicle group, including implementing a setpoint acceleration in each vehicle of a vehicle group by electric control of a drive system or of a braking system of the respective vehicle, observing actual driving dynamics of the vehicles of the vehicle group during the implementation of the setpoint acceleration, assessing the observed actual driving dynamics of the vehicles on the basis of the requested setpoint acceleration for the respective vehicle, and outputting a vehicle-specific assessment result, and determining and outputting an acceleration limit value or a jerk limit value as a function of the vehicle-specific assessment result and adapting the vehicle-specific acceleration parameters in at least one of the vehicles of the vehicle group as a function of the determined acceleration limit value or jerk limit value in order to implement the setpoint acceleration.

A series-hybrid vehicle includes an internal combustion engine for electric power generation and a motor generator for travelling. The internal combustion engine is cooled by a second coolant water circuit that has a main radiator. A first coolant water circuit having a sub radiator is used to cool a front wheel-side power train cooling part, a rear wheel-side power train cooling part, a water-cooled condenser, and a low temperature-side intercooler. When the vehicle is accelerating, an electrical compressor for an air conditioner comes to a stop, and the circulation of refrigerant to the water-cooled condenser is brought to a halt.

A vehicle control device includes: an acquiring unit that acquires vehicle height information from a link mechanism type vehicle height sensor that is connected to a lower arm of a suspension that connects a vehicle body and wheels of a vehicle; a storage unit that stores vehicle height error information, which is information representing a relationship between an acting force that is applied to the vehicle in a horizontal direction and an error that is contained in the vehicle height information that is output by the vehicle height sensor; and a correcting unit that corrects the vehicle height information that has been acquired by the acquiring unit, based on the acting force that acts when the vehicle height information is acquired and the vehicle height error information that is stored in the storage unit.

A hybrid all-wheel-drive vehicle includes an engine, first and second motor generators, a first clutch between the second motor generator and a front wheel, a second clutch between the second motor generator and a rear wheel, and a control unit that controls, based on a vehicle traveling state, the engine, the motor generators, and the clutches. The first motor generator is coupled to the engine and the front wheel in a manner capable of transmitting torque. During regeneration, the control unit engages the first clutch and disengages the second clutch. When the all-wheel-drive vehicle shifts from motor traveling to hybrid traveling, the control unit restarts the engine by operating the first motor generator and regulates engagement forces of the clutches and output torque of the second motor generator to compensate driving torque of the front wheel by the second motor generator while maintaining driving torque of the rear wheel.

A method for controlling a vehicle including a continuously variable transmission includes determining, by a controller, whether a speed difference between a speed of a vehicle according to revolutions per minute (RPM) of a driving wheel of the vehicle and a speed of the vehicle according to revolutions per minute (RPM) of a towed wheel of the vehicle is equal to or greater than a speed reference value and reducing, by the controller, torque of an engine providing a driving force to a driving pulley of the continuously variable transmission when the difference in vehicle speed is equal to or greater than the speed reference value.

Techniques and methods for training and/or using a machine learned model that identifies unsafe events. For instance, computing device(s) may receive input data, such as vehicle data generated by one or more vehicles and/or simulation data representing a simulated environment. The computing device(s) may then analyze features represented by the input data using one or more criteria in order to identify potential unsafe events represented by the input data. Additionally, the computing device(s) may receive ground truth data classifying the identified events as unsafe events or safe events. The computing device(s) may then train the machine learned model using at least the input data representing the unsafe events and the classifications. Next, when the computing device(s) and/or vehicles receive input data, the computing device(s) and/or vehicles may use the machine learned model to determine if the input data represents unsafe events.

A control system for a work vehicle includes an acceleration detection device and a controller. The acceleration detection device detects an acceleration of the work vehicle. The controller determines whether the acceleration is greater than a first threshold and reduces the a vehicle speed when the acceleration continues to be equal to or greater than the first threshold over a predetermined first determination time period.

Methods and systems for improving operation of a vehicle driveline that includes an engine and an automatic transmission with a torque converter are presented. In one non-limiting example, the engine may be stopped while a vehicle in which the engine operates is rolling. A transmission coupled to the engine may be shifted as the vehicle rolls so that vehicle response may be improved if a driver requests an increase of engine torque.

A method for monitoring a drive-by-wire system of a motor vehicle, including: temporally offset reading in of at least two input values of an input quantity of an operating element of the motor vehicle; ascertaining a change over time or rate of change over time of the input quantity from the at least two read-in input values; determination of a monitored quantity for the motor vehicle operation from the change over time or rate of change over time; selection of a monitoring function on the basis of the monitored quantity; monitoring of the monitored quantity for the ascertained motor vehicle operation by the monitoring function.

Control system and method which is adapted for use in a motor vehicle and intended to effect an at least semi-autonomous driving operation of the motor vehicle by means of assigned actuators on the basis of environmental data which are obtained from one or more environment sensors assigned to the motor vehicle, and wherein the control system is adapted and intended to detect a failure of a conventional steering system of the motor vehicle and attempt a change of direction of the vehicle, which corresponds to a desired steering angle, from current driving parameters by means of matched acceleration and/or deceleration interventions at individual wheel drives or wheel brakes, respectively, of the vehicle.
