PROMOTING RIDER SAFETY IN SHARED MOBILITY SPACE
An electronic apparatus to promote rider safety is provided. The electronic apparatus receives a trip plan associated with a user identifier. The trip plan includes a current travel route of a micro-mobility vehicle associated with a shared mobility service. The electronic apparatus determines incident information associated with a number of past traffic incidents on at least one portion of the current travel route. The electronic apparatus controls a display device to display an option to replace the current travel route with a safer alternate route. The electronic apparatus receives a user input that includes a selection of the displayed option. The electronic apparatus determines a discount applicable on an initial trip cost associated with the trip plan based on received user input and controls the display device to display, based on the determined discount, an incentive including a final trip cost associated the trip plan.
Electronic speed control system
A smart governor system that intercepts and adjusts throttle commands when certain criteria are met based on vehicle operations and a user-selected transmission mode. The governor, when engaged, reduces a throttle command in order limit engine and/or ground speed.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SPEED OF A TRACK-DRIVEN WORK VEHICLE BASED ON MONITORED LOADS TO AVOID TRACK OVERHEATING
A method for automatically controlling vehicle speeds of a track-based work vehicle may include monitoring, with a computing device, a load transmitted through a pivot pin of a track assembly of the work vehicle and determining, with the computing device, a speed limit setting for the work vehicle based on the monitored load, wherein the speed limit setting is associated with maintaining an operating temperature of a track of the track assembly below a predetermined temperature threshold. In addition, the method may include automatically limiting, with the computing device, a vehicle speed of the work vehicle based on the determined speed limit setting.
VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM, VEHICLE CONTROL METHOD, AND VEHICLE CONTROL PROGRAM
A vehicle control system includes the following components. An automated driving control unit carries out a first driving mode in which at least one of acceleration/deceleration and steering of a vehicle is automatically controlled. An operation device receives an operation performed by an occupant of the vehicle. A handover control unit instructs shifting to a second driving mode, in which the degree of automated driving is lower than in the first driving mode, when the occupant of the vehicle operates the operation device to instruct one of or both of acceleration/deceleration and steering of the vehicle in the first driving mode. A drive control unit performs acceleration based on an acceleration operation if speed of the vehicle to be achieved as a result of acceleration based on the acceleration operation does not exceed a threshold dependent on a steering angle of the vehicle.
METHOD AND TRACK GUIDANCE SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING AN AUTONOMOUS MOTOR VEHICLE IN AN URBAN AREA
A determination is made regarding whether an autonomous motor vehicle is located on a specified lane marking. If so, the autonomous motor vehicle is controlled on the specified lane marking and the vehicle speed is limited to a specified speed value. If the autonomous motor vehicle is not located on the specified lane marking, the vehicle speed is limited to a specified safe value.
VEHICLE DRIVING CONTROL APPARATUS
A vehicle driving control apparatus applied to a vehicle includes a surrounding environment information obtaining device, a vehicle situation information obtaining device, an external information receiving device, a velocity value setter, and a driving control unit. The driving control unit adjusts a velocity of the vehicle by considering surrounding vehicles and various information and performs driving control based on the adjusted velocity. If a leading vehicle is recognized, the velocity of the vehicle exceeds a speed limit or a predetermined velocity, a driver set velocity is not lower than a velocity of the leading vehicle, and a following vehicle is not recognized for a predetermined time or longer, the driving control unit sets a temporary velocity as the velocity of the vehicle and performs driving control by using the temporary velocity. The temporary velocity is lower than the velocity of the leading vehicle by a preset value.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DRIVER PRESENCE AND POSITION DETECTION
Systems and methods for driver presence and position detection are disclosed herein. A method can include determining a presence and a position of a driver in a sensing zone of a vehicle using a sensor platform integrated into the vehicle, determining when the position of the driver indicates that the driver is not in a fully-seated position relative to a driver's seat of the vehicle, and selectively adjusting a vehicle parameter of the vehicle based on the driver not being in a fully-seated position.
VEHICLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, MANAGEMENT METHOD, AND PROGRAM
An automated driving vehicle management apparatus according to an embodiment is a vehicle management system that manages a vehicle traveling along a traveling route, the vehicle management system including: a map information acquisition unit that acquires map information including a road on which a vehicle travels; a sensor that detects environmental information about another vehicle or a passerby, the sensor being disposed in a traveling environment including the road and an area around the road; a generation unit that generates, based on the map information and the environmental information, traveling information about a traveling speed of the vehicle on the traveling route or about whether or not the vehicle can pass through the traveling route; and a communication unit that transmits the traveling information to the vehicle.
AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL DEVICE, AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL METHOD, AND AUTOMATIC SPEED CONTROL PROGRAM
An automatic speed control device includes: an upper limit lateral acceleration degree setting part for setting an upper limit lateral acceleration degree; a road curvature acquiring part for acquiring a value of a curvature parameter relating to curvature of a road; an upper limit speed setting part for calculating a speed of the vehicle at which if the vehicle runs on that road, the lateral acceleration degree of the vehicle becomes the upper limit lateral acceleration degree and setting the calculated speed as the upper limit speed; and a speed control part for controlling the speed of the vehicle to be less than or equal to the upper limit speed. The upper limit lateral acceleration degree when running on a connecting road is set lower than the upper limit lateral acceleration degree when running on a main road of a motorway.
VEHICLE CONTROL SYSTEM
In a vehicle control system, a standard driving model of a vehicle is stored in a model storage unit. A risk level determination unit compares a driving operation by a driver with a normative driving operation output from the standard driving model and determines a risk level of the driving operation. An operation limiting unit inputs, to a drive unit, a drive signal adjusted based on the determination by the risk level determination unit on the risk level of the driving operation by the driver so as to limit driving of the drive unit.
