Braking control device
The braking control device includes a control amount derivation unit that derives a target vehicle braking force representing a target value of a vehicle braking force applied, and a braking control unit that controls a regenerative braking device and a frictional braking device based on the target vehicle braking force. When the target vehicle braking force is increased, the braking control unit executes a braking force application process of increasing the frictional braking force applied to the wheel so that such frictional braking force becomes larger than the regenerative braking force applied to the wheel. When the target vehicle braking force is increased, the braking control unit executes a switching process of switching at least a part of the frictional braking force applied to the wheel to the regenerative braking force to increase the regenerative braking force applied to the wheel after execution of the braking force application process.
DRIVE TORQUE CONTROL METHOD AND DRIVE TORQUE CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
To provide drive torque control capable of avoiding acceleration failure even when a wheelie occurs.
A drive torque control method for a vehicle detects or computes a wheelie amount of the vehicle, reduces drive torque that is applied to a rear wheel to be lower than the drive torque in a normal state when the wheelie occurs, and maintains or increases the drive torque when the wheelie amount is reduced.
Vehicle having adjustable suspension
A damping control system for a vehicle having a suspension located between a plurality of ground engaging members and a vehicle frame includes at least one adjustable shock absorber having an adjustable damping profile.
System and method for automated grounds maintenance
A grounds maintenance system comprising: a robot tractor comprising; a robot body; a drive system including one or more motorized drive wheels to propel the robot body; a control system coupled to the drive system, the control system configurable to store a mow plan that specifies a set of paths to be traversed for a grounds maintenance operation and control the drive system to autonomously traverse the set of paths to implement the mow plan; a battery system comprising one or more batteries housed in the robot body; and a low-profile mowing deck coupled to the robot body, the mowing deck adapted to tilt and lift relative to the robot body, wherein the control system is configured to control tilting and lifting of the mowing deck and cutting by the mowing deck.
VEHICLE HAVING ADJUSTABLE SUSPENSION
A damping control system for a vehicle having a suspension located between a plurality of ground engaging members and a vehicle frame includes at least one adjustable shock absorber having an adjustable damping profile.
Suspension system with comprehensive pitch stability control
A vehicle control system includes a plurality of sensors that determine ride height information of a vehicle, a sensor that determines pitch information for the vehicle, and a controller that selectively applies traction torque and braking torque to wheels of the vehicle based on vehicle speed, the pitch information and the ride height information.
Method and control device for operating a self-driving working machine
A method for operating a self-driving working machine including determining an operating variable of a working device of the self-driving working machine and determining a longitudinal dynamics driving variable of the self-driving working machine. The method also includes checking whether a hazardous state for stability of the self-driving working machine can occur based on the determined operating variable and the determined longitudinal dynamics driving variable The method also includes intervening in longitudinal dynamics of the self-driving working machine depending on a check result based on the checking step.
Suspension system with electronic pitch stability control
A vehicle control system includes a plurality of ride height sensors, a brake system and a controller. The ride height sensors may determine ride height information associated with individual wheels of a vehicle. The brake system may apply braking force to the individual wheels of the vehicle responsive to provision of a brake application signal. The controller may generate the brake application signal during vehicle pitch based on vehicle speed and the ride height information.
