VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM STORING PROGRAM FOR PERFORMING METHOD
A vehicle body control system, a control method of the vehicle body control system, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for performing the method may alleviate deterioration of steering performance of a vehicle when an electric power steering (EPS) system of the vehicle fails. The vehicle body control system includes a brake device configured to brake the vehicle, a detector configured to detect a failure of the EPS system, a steering sensor configured to detect an operation of a steering wheel of the vehicle to generate steering operation information, a controller configured to receive the steering operation information and generate a target yaw rate when the failure of the EPS system is detected, and control a brake device to generate a differential braking force required for the calculated target yaw rate.
HEAVY-DUTY VEHICLE MOTION SUPPORT DEVICE CAPABILITY FEEDBACK
A control unit for controlling at least one MSD on a heavy-duty vehicle is provided. The control unit is arranged to determine a limiting operating point of the MSD associated with a performance limit of the MSD, determine a preferred operating point of the MSD indicative of an operating point of the MSD associated with an improvement in a secondary objective function value compared to the limiting operating point, and transmit a capability message to a VMM function comprising the limiting operating point of the MSD and the preferred operating point of the MSD.
Vehicle driving assistance apparatus, vehicle driving assistance method, and computer-readable storage medium storing vehicle driving assistance program
The vehicle driving assistance apparatus determines whether an own vehicle departs from an own vehicle moving lane while executing a steering avoidance control. When determining that the own vehicle departs from the own vehicle moving lane while executing the steering avoidance control, the vehicle driving assistance apparatus acquires a steering angle determined by a steering angle control pattern, changes the acquired steering angle to be a value to move the own vehicle toward a center of the own vehicle moving lane, sets the changed steering angle as a target steering angle, acquires a deceleration determined by a deceleration control pattern, increases the acquired deceleration, and sets the increased deceleration as a target deceleration.
Vehicle control device, vehicle control method, and vehicle control system
The vehicle control device of the present invention acquires characteristics of a road condition in front of a traveling vehicle based on external information; acquires vehicle behavior control variables for controlling the behavior of the vehicle based on estimated state variables of the vehicle that are obtained based on the characteristics, and control variables concerning speed of the vehicle based on the external information; acquires trajectory tracking control variables for causing the vehicle to track the target trajectory based on the target trajectory on which the vehicle travels that are obtained based on the characteristics and the estimated state variables; and outputs the control commands for controlling the suspension device, steering device, and braking and driving device based on the vehicle behavior control variables and the trajectory tracking control variables. This improves travel stability of the vehicle on a road surface on which an irregularity such as ruts exists.
Method, control device and system for stabilizing a vehicle
A method for stabilizing a vehicle (100) in which the vehicle (100) has a roll stabilizer (120), which is designed to stabilize a first axle (101) and a second axle (102) as a function of a roll torque distribution between the first axle (101) and the second axle (102). The method comprises a step of determining a sideslip angle index from a difference between a transverse acceleration calculated from a yaw rate of the vehicle (100) and a speed of the vehicle (100), and a detected transverse acceleration of the vehicle (100). The sideslip angle index is related to a sideslip angle of the vehicle (100). The method also comprises a step of generating a control signal (160) using the sideslip angle index. The control signal (160) is suitable for adjusting the roll torque distribution of the roll stabilizer (120) as a function of the determined sideslip angle index.
Vehicle system having an esc-fault-tolerant braking system
The disclosure relates to a vehicle system for a vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, that includes an electronically controllable pneumatic braking system, and an electronically controllable steering device. The electronically controllable pneumatic braking system has a redundant control unit, which controls the brake circuits in the event of a failure of an electronic stability control of the braking system during travel. In the event of the failure of the electronic stability control during travel, the redundant control unit performs axle-wise control of the front axle with a front axle redundancy brake pressure and/or of the rear axle with a rear axle redundancy brake pressure and the electronically controllable steering device carries out laterally stabilizing steering interventions in order to keep the vehicle in a tolerance corridor of a predefined target trajectory of the vehicle. The disclosure also relates to a vehicle and a method.
Lane keeping apparatus and method thereof
The prevent disclosure relates to a lane keeping control apparatus and a method thereof. An exemplary embodiment provides a lane keeping control apparatus including a processor configured to calculate a steering angle control amount for following a target path for lane keeping control while driving a vehicle, and to adjust the steering angle control amount depending on a change directionality of a target path error that is an error between the target path and the vehicle, and a storage configured to store data and algorithms driven by the processor.
Systems and methods for environmental analysis based upon vehicle sensor data
A system for analyzing the environment of a vehicle i) receives a plurality of data from at least one sensor associated with a vehicle, such that the plurality of data includes at least one environmental condition at a location; (ii) analyzes the plurality of data to determine the at least one environmental condition at the location; (iii) determines a condition of a building at the location based upon the at least one environmental condition; (iv) determines an insurance product for the building based upon the determined condition associated with the building; and (v) generates an insurance quote for the insurance product. As a result, the speed and accuracy of insurance providers learning about potential clients and the conditions of the potential client's property and needs is increased.
