A vehicular display control device that is configured to: display, at a display, an image of a switch that causes a transition from a first state to a second state in response to being pressed a first time and does not cause a return from the second state to the first state in response to being pressed a second time or more than a second time; and display, at the display, a text string indicating that the transition to the second state is complete in response to the switch having been pressed once in a state in which the image is displayed.

The proposed invention relates to methods for controlling energy consumption by a motor vehicle, and can be used in transportation industry. The technical problem to be solved by the claimed invention is to provide a device and a system 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 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.

A snow groomer with touch screen controls for tensioning tracks, suspension, drive unit, accessories and other, comprising: a plurality of tracks; at least one accessory device selected in a group comprising a shovel or blade, a tiller assembly and a winch assembly; and a user interface comprising a display and a selector device for receiving commands from an operator, preferably the selector device is a device that detects a touch of an operator on the display; a control unit coupled to the user interface, in particular to the display, for sending images to be displayed to the display and receiving commands from the display which are related to the touches detected; wherein the control unit is configured to display on the display a main screen divided into a plurality of main screen portions, wherein the plurality of main screen portions are displayed together in the main screen and each in a different position in the main screen; wherein each main screen portion is configured to display an image that illustrates one or more pieces of data and/or information correlated to the tracked vehicle; the control unit is configured to detect one or more selections made by an operator, preferably on the display by means of a touch, corresponding to the type(s) of data or information that are required to be displayed in each portion of the display, and to display a main screen portion in each portion of the display, wherein each main screen portion is configured to illustrate a respective image relating to the data or information selected by the operator for said portion of the display.

A vehicle display control device displays a predetermined image at a display region showing a view ahead of a vehicle, the device including: a memory; and a processor coupled to the memory, the processor being configured to: acquire a travel state of the vehicle, and in a case in which the acquired travel state is a first mode in which an object ahead of the vehicle is detected and travel of the vehicle is controlled, display, at the display region, a first image indicating that the travel state is the first mode at a position that does not overlap with the object ahead of the vehicle.

A vehicle body motion informing device includes a vehicular interior part that configures an interior surface of a vehicular compartment of a vehicle, a lighting device mounted on a vehicular exterior side of the vehicular interior part and exiting light to a vehicular compartment, a control unit that receives an information signal relating to the motion of the vehicle body and controls the lighting device to exit light according to the information to inform the vehicle occupant of the motion of the vehicle body, and a surface member having semi-transmissivity and disposed to cover at least a lighting portion included in the vehicular interior part and a surrounding portion of the vehicular interior part. The lighting portion overlaps the lighting device and the light from the lighting device passes through the lighting portion to the vehicular compartment and the surrounding portion is near the lighting portion.

A method for controlling an autonomous vehicle including: obtaining trip information of a current trip of a user of the autonomous vehicle and historical traffic information related to the current trip; selecting an autonomous driving (AD) mode that is suitable for the current trip from a plurality of pre-defined AD modes; comparing time required for the autonomous vehicle to complete a portion of the current trip in the selected AD mode with historical average time to complete the portion of the current trip, the historical average time being acquired based on the historical traffic information; and dynamically adjusting driving of the autonomous vehicle based on the comparison to minimize the difference between the time required for the autonomous vehicle to complete the portion of the current trip in the selected AD mode and the historical average time.
