A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive an input by a first user setting a maximum speed for a vehicle; prevent a second user from operating the vehicle above the maximum speed; permit the second user to operate the vehicle above the maximum speed upon at least one condition being met; in response to permitting the second user to operate the vehicle above the maximum speed, transmit a first collection of vehicle data to the first user; and in response to the second user failing to stop the vehicle at a stop indicator, transmit a second collection of the vehicle data to the first user.

A method for dealing with obstacles in an industrial truck, including detecting a current speed and a current steering angle of at least one steered wheel of the industrial truck using a speed sensor or a steering angle sensor. The method also includes calculating a protection zone based on the current speed and the current steering angle and evaluating data supplied by the at least one sensor unit within the protection zone. Responsive to detecting an obstacle in the protection zone, the method includes calculating a specific steering angle difference on a right side and a left side, the specific steering angle difference being such that collision with the obstacle is avoided on the respective side and one or more of, based on the calculated right side and left side steering angle differences, classifying a current degree of difficulty in avoiding obstacles or triggering a predetermined action.

An impending situation that requires a tele-operated driving session is identified, a quality of service for a communication between the transportation vehicle and a control center is predicted for a location where the tele-operated driving session will be performed, the speed of the transportation vehicle is reduced to a maximum drivable speed for a tele-operated driving session with the predicted quality of service, and the tele-operated driving session is initiated.

A controller and a control method capable of appropriately assisting with a rider's operation while suppressing falling of a motorcycle, departure of the motorcycle from a lane, a difficulty of the motorcycle in adaptive cruise, and the like is disclosed. In the controller and the control method according to the present invention, in a control mode to make the motorcycle perform autonomous cruise acceleration operation, automatic acceleration that is acceleration generated to the motorcycle by the autonomous cruise acceleration operation is controlled in accordance with a lean angle of the motorcycle.

A method of controlling a vehicle when the vehicle passes over a speed bump, may include: dividing sections of the road into a first section within a first time period before the front wheel of the vehicle collides with the speed bump, a second section while the front wheel collides with the speed bump, a third section within a second time period before the rear wheel collides with the speed bump, and a fourth section while the rear wheel collides with the speed bump; and controlling and distributing at least one of suspension damping force, driving power and braking force to the front wheel and the rear wheel for each of the first section, the second section, the third section and the fourth section to reduce the amount of impact to be applied when the vehicle collides with the speed bump and to reduce a vertical motion of the vehicle that occurs while the vehicle goes over the speed bump.

There is provided a method and control system for limiting a driver acceleration request of a vehicle. The vehicle comprises a controller arrangement that receives a driver acceleration request and determines whether the driver acceleration request is below an acceleration threshold. If so, it initiates a limiting protocol and dependent on the distance between a preceding vehicle and the host vehicle limits the acceleration of the vehicle in comparison to the driver acceleration request. The invention further relates to a vehicle comprising such as control system.

A control device, which controls a velocity of a vehicle, is configured to: determine a scene in which a visibility is limited by an occluding object at an intersection where a traveling road of the vehicle intersects with an intersecting road; determine whether the vehicle on the traveling road has a right of way; and control the velocity of the vehicle to stop immediately before the intersection when the vehicle on the traveling road has no right of way.

An apparatus for controlling a vehicle includes a memory, a network interface, and a processor that determines whether the vehicle is in a bypass situation in which the vehicle has to bypass, calculates a plurality of bypass paths capable of replacing a previously set travel path in the bypass situation, evaluates the plurality of bypass paths, selects one bypass path based on the evaluation of the plurality of bypass paths, and performs control on the vehicle such that the vehicle travels along the selected bypass path.

A sudden acceleration prevention method for a vehicle includes the following steps, which may be performed by a controller: monitoring an output signal of an accelerator pedal sensor so as to obtain a detected operation state of an accelerator pedal, determining whether the detected operation state of the accelerator pedal is within a predetermined brake pedal operation range, determining whether the detected operation state of the accelerator pedal is within a predetermined accelerator pedal and brake pedal overlapping operation range if the detected operation state of the accelerator pedal is within the predetermined brake pedal operation range, and outputting an output reduction control signal of the vehicle if the detected operation state of the accelerator pedal is not within the accelerator pedal and brake pedal overlapping operation range.

Vehicle speed data of a plurality of vehicles registered for each link of map information and respective average vehicle speeds calculated from the vehicle speed data are acquired, and the links are divided into vehicle speed groups according to the magnitude of the average vehicle speed. For each of the vehicle speed groups, the vehicle speed data of the plurality of vehicles is collectively subjected to frequency distribution analysis, and a predicted vehicle speed transition simulating a change in vehicle speed is calculated for each of the vehicle speed groups. An electricity consumption rate model of the vehicle is applied to the calculated predicted vehicle speed transition to predict an electricity consumption rate corresponding to the average vehicle speed for each of the vehicle speed groups.
