System for providing color balance in automotive display
A display system may include a camera configured to capture an image of a calibration reference associated with an automobile, a display, and a controller in communication with the camera and the display. The controller may be configured to selectively adjust a color temperature of the display based on the image of the calibration reference.
Apparatus, method, and vehicle for providing braking level of forward vehicle
An apparatus, method, and vehicle for providing a braking level of a forward vehicle may quantify a degree of braking of the forward vehicle into a braking level and provide the braking level of the forward vehicle to a driver. The apparatus includes a brake lamp position recognizing device configured to recognize positions of brake lamps of the forward vehicle based on an image and a relative acceleration of the forward vehicle, a braking determining device configured to determine whether or not braking of the forward vehicle is performed based on a brake lamp image extracted from the image of the forward vehicle, a braking level determining device configured to determine a braking level of the forward vehicle based on the relative acceleration of the forward vehicle, and a braking level image providing device configured to provide the determined braking level of the forward vehicle through an image.
Monitoring system for a vehicle
The present disclosure relates to a monitoring system for a vehicle, a vehicle comprising such a monitoring system, a method for monitoring such a vehicle and a computer program element for monitoring such a vehicle.
The monitoring system comprises a display unit, an adjustment tool and a control unit. The control unit is configured to generate an energy flow map showing an energy flow from an energy storage system to at least one sub-system of the vehicle. The display unit is configured to display the energy flow map, to graphically emphasize the at least one sub-system and to display a current energy consumption of the sub-system. The control unit is further configured to adjust the energy consumption of the sub-system based on a user's input to the adjustment tool.
VEHICLE STATE DISPLAY DEVICE
A vehicle state display device of a vehicle including an engine that drives driving wheels includes a display unit that displays an energy transmission state of the vehicle, a vehicle configuration display control unit, and a transmission state display control unit. The transmission state display control unit displays, between an engine display and a driving wheel display on the display unit during operation of the engine, a first transmission display indicating a transmission of energy between the engine and the driving wheels, and changes a display mode of the first transmission display between a case where the vehicle is traveling and a case where the vehicle is stopped.
VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL APPARATUS AND VEHICLE DISPLAY CONTROL SYSTEM
A vehicle display control apparatus is equipped with a display device, and a control unit that causes the display device to display a peripheral screen for presenting a driver of an own vehicle with a position of a different vehicle running around the own vehicle with respect to the own vehicle. The control unit is configured to acquire the position of the different vehicle with respect to the own vehicle and a driving manner score as a numerical rating scale representing how good driving manners of the different vehicle are, and display the driving manner score on the peripheral screen in such a manner as to correspond to the position of the different vehicle with respect to the own vehicle.
MOTOR VEHICLE WITH A COMPUTER DEVICE FOR GENERATING A GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE
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 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.
Systems and Methods of Visual Guidance
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.

Activation and deactivation of a driving function for automated driving with longitudinal and transverse guidance
A driving system for a motor vehicle includes a first driving function for automated driving with automated longitudinal and transverse guidance and a second driving function for automated driving with at least automated longitudinal guidance or with at least automated transverse guidance. The second driving function has a lower level of automation. The first driving function is available for activation in a first admissibility range defined by a lower and/or upper limit for a driving parameter. The driver uses a first input component to prescribe a driver nominal value preset for the driving parameter that is in the first admissibility range. In response, the current driving behavior of the active second driving function is adapted. The driving system then establishes that the driving parameter satisfies a first criterion for the first admissibility range. The first driving function is then activated.
VISUAL WARNING ASSEMBLY
A visual warning assembly, configured to make a warning from one vehicle to another vehicle. The visual warning assembly has a case with a front face joined to a base and an antenna. A channel display button, a channel selector button, a power button, a green lighted button, a yellow lighted button and a red lighted button, arranged on the front face. A mounting ball is magnetically joined to the base. A microcontroller is electrically coupled to the green lighted button, the yellow lighted button, and the red lighted button. The microcontroller is programmed with instructions to: receive a communication from a second visual warning assembly. Then, engage one member of a lighted button set consisting of the red button, the yellow button, and the green button creating an indicating light. Finally, receiving a signal from a user making the indicating light an activated button
