The technical problem to be solved by the claimed invention is to provide a motor vehicle that do not possess the drawbacks of the prior art and thus make it possible to generate an accurate energy-efficient track for a motor vehicle that allows to reduce energy consumption by the motor vehicle on the specific portion of the route, as well as to reliably signal about energy consumption by the motor vehicle and the ways of reducing its energy consumption.

A driver-assisting system for an industrial vehicle comprising: a first camera mounted on a vehicle cab for viewing an area in front of the vehicle; an image processing unit operatively connected to said first camera for receiving image data from said first camera; a display unit operatively connected to said image processing unit for displaying image to a user based on said image data; a control unit operatively connected to said first camera for modifying operating parameters of said first camera; wherein the first camera is adapted to provide a wide-angle field of vision, and in that the field of vision of said first camera relative to the vehicle can be adjusted by the control unit.

A method includes performing, with a compacting machine, a first pass to compact a first portion of a work area to compact a first lane. A guidance system acquires position information representing the first compacted lane. A second pass is performed to compact a second portion of the work area adjacent the first portion. The guidance system acquires current position information of the machine representing current positioning of the machine during the second pass. Comparing the position information of the machine representing the first compacted lane with the current position information, determines whether the current positioning overlaps the first compacted lane a specified amount. When the second pass is determined to overlap the first compacted lane, in-compliance visual indicia is generated. When the second pass is determined to not overlap the first compacted lane with the specified amount, out of compliance visual indicia is generated.

A heads-up display device for a vehicle includes: a display component; a controller; and an execution component; wherein: the display component is configured to output a heads-up display image; the controller is configured to acquire a real-time vehicle speed of the vehicle, and generate an image distance control signal associated with the real-time vehicle speed of the vehicle; and the execution component is connected to the display component, and the execution component is configured to adjust a focal point of the display component according to the image distance control signal, and control an image distance of the heads-up display image displayed by the display component thus adjusting the focal point of the display component according to the change of the real-time vehicle speed.

An electronic device attached to a vehicle and a control method therefor are disclosed. A control method for an electronic device attached to a vehicle according to the present invention comprises the steps of: acquiring driving information from a sensor included in a vehicle while the vehicle is running; determining a dangerous event having occurred while the vehicle is running, on the basis of the acquired driving information; and providing an image associated with the determined dangerous event, on the basis of information associated with the determined dangerous event from among the driving information. Accordingly, an electronic device attached to a vehicle provides an image relating to a situation in which a dangerous event is expected to occur, on the basis of detected driving information. Through the provided image, a vehicle driver can develop safe driving habits.

A vehicle and a method for controlling the vehicle are provided. The vehicle includes a first camera configured to capture a front image of the vehicle; a head-up display configured to project an image onto a windshield of the vehicle; an input device configured to input a boundary line for setting an area in which the image is projected from the windshield; and a controller configured to determine a projection area in which the image is projected based on the inputted boundary line, to determine an interest area of the front image based on the determined projection area and a speed of the vehicle, and to display the determined interest area in the determined projection area on the head-up display.

An equipment inspection system receives data captured by a sensor of an autonomous vehicle (AV). The captured data describes a current state of equipment for servicing the AV. The equipment inspection system compares the captured data to a model describing an expected state of the equipment. The equipment inspection system determines, based on the comparison, that the equipment differs from the expected state. The equipment inspection system may transmit data describing the current state of the equipment to an equipment manager. The equipment manager may schedule maintenance for the equipment based on the current state of the equipment.

A method for the performance-enhancing driver assistance of a road vehicle on a track comprising the steps of: determining, in use, the current position and the current orientation of the road vehicle on the track by means of a tracking device; identifying an optimal trajectory in relation to the conformation of the track and/or the to road vehicle; determining, in use, a lateral deviation of the road vehicle from the optimal trajectory and/or an understeer/oversteer condition in curve; suggesting to the driver, by means of a haptic interface device arranged in such a way that it is perceivable by the driver and does not obstruct the driver's view of the road, depending on the lateral deviation and/or on the understeer/oversteer condition in curve, one or more actions to be performed in order to vary a lateral dynamic of the road vehicle in order to perform a mission which optimises the performance on the track.

A method for the performance-enhancing driver assistance of a road vehicle on a track comprising the steps of:

determining, in use, the current position and the current orientation of the road vehicle on the track by means of a tracking device; identifying an optimal trajectory in relation to the conformation of the track and/or to the road vehicle; determining, in use, a relative position of the road vehicle with respect to the optimal trajectory by identifying a longitudinal relative position on the optimal trajectory; suggesting to the driver, by means of one or more colours emitted or assumed by a light interface device, depending on the longitudinal relative position, one or more actions to be performed to vary a longitudinal dynamic of the road vehicle in order to perform a mission optimising the performance on the track.
