An automatic tilting vehicle includes a pair of wheels that are non-steering driving wheels, a braking/driving device, a vehicle tilting device, and a control device, and the control unit calculates a target tilt angle of the vehicle for tilting the vehicle turning inward and controls the vehicle tilting device so that a tilt angle of the vehicle becomes the target tilt angle. The control unit calculates target braking/driving forces of the pair of wheels based on a braking/driving operation of a driver, corrects the target braking/driving forces so that a difference between vertical forces acting on the wheels caused by the braking/driving forces of the pair of wheels is reduced, and controls the braking/driving device such that braking/driving forces of the pair of wheels becomes the corrected target braking/driving forces.

A vehicle control system includes a first error module that determines a first yaw error based on a difference between a yaw rate of the vehicle and a target yaw rate. A second error module determines a second yaw error based on the first yaw error and a target yaw error. A target yaw error module sets the target yaw error based on a skill level of a driver of the vehicle. An adjustment module selectively one of increases and decreases a target adjustment when the second yaw error is greater than a first predetermined threshold. An actuator control module, in response to the increase in the target adjustment, actuates a dynamics actuator of the vehicle.

A method is described for avoiding a collision of a motor vehicle (1) with an object (8), in which the object (8) is detected in an environment (7) of the motor vehicle (1), a relative position between the motor vehicle (1) and (8) and the object is determined and depending on the relative position between the motor vehicle (1) and the object (8) at least one collision avoidance measure is determined, wherein a maximum specifiable steering angle range (rm) is determined, in which maximum specifiable steering angle range (rm) a blocked steering angle range (rb), for which the collision with the object (8) is threatened and preventable, and a warning steering angle range (rw), for which no collision with the object (8) is threatened and which is adjacent to the blocked steering angle range (rb), are determined on the basis of the relative position between the motor vehicle (1) and the object (8), a first collision avoidance measure for the blocked steering angle range (rb) and a second collision avoidance measure for the warning steering angle range (rw) are determined.

An automatic driving system includes an electronic control unit. The electronic control unit is configured to create a traveling plan including a control target value of automatic driving control of a vehicle based on a position of the vehicle of a map, a vehicle state, and an external environment, to calculate an abnormality value, to determine, based on the abnormality value, whether the vehicle is an a normal state, an abnormal state, or an intermediate state, and to create an abnormal traveling plan as the traveling plan when it has been determined that the vehicle is in the abnormal state.

Systems and methods use cameras to provide autonomous navigation features. In one implementation, a driver-assist object detection system is provided for a vehicle. One or more processing devices associated with the system receive at least two images from a plurality of captured images via a data interface. The device(s) analyze the first image and at least a second image to determine a reference plane corresponding to the roadway the vehicle is traveling on. The processing device(s) locate a target object in the first two images, and determine a difference in a size of at least one dimension of the target object between the two images. The system may use the difference in size to determine a height of the object. Further, the system may cause a change in at least a directional course of the vehicle if the determined height exceeds a predetermined threshold.

Calculating a current target position value for controlling a traction speed of a materials handling vehicle, that includes receiving steering command signals; generating an output value proportional to a rate of change of the steering command signals; determining whether the output value is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold; determining a raw target position value for controlling the traction speed of the materials handling vehicle; and calculating the current target position value based on: whether the output value is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold, and whether the raw target position value is less than or equal to a previously calculated target position value for controlling the traction speed.

A steering angle display device includes a display part disposed along a ring portion of a steering wheel of a vehicle; and a controller configured, during automated driving control in which a steering angle of the vehicle is controlled in accordance with road situations without rotating the steering wheel, to cause a steering angle indication indicating the controlled steering angle to be displayed at a position of the display part in accordance with the controlled steering angle.

A method and a device for automatically reversing a vehicle are provided. A forward track of a target vehicle is recorded in a forward process of the target vehicle. The target vehicle is controlled to be reversed from a current position and the target vehicle is controlled to be reversed along the forward track by adjusting a steering wheel angle of the target vehicle at each reversing moment, when an automatic reversing instruction for the target vehicle is detected after the target vehicle stops moving forward. The target vehicle is controlled to stop being reversed when a reversing stop instruction for the target vehicle is detected in a reversing process.
