A method for operating a vehicle having a transmission and a braking device during a journey, during which the vehicle, the transmission of which comprises at least one form-fitting shifting element, moves along a roadway, wherein during the journey of the motor vehicle, its shifting element is movable into formfitting interaction with at least one further component, an anti-lock braking operation is carried out by the braking device, in which at least one braking torque to be applied by the braking device to at least one wheel of the vehicle for braking the wheel is limited at least temporarily to a specifiable value by a regulating device of the vehicle in order to thereby at least temporarily prevent the wheel from locking relative to the roadway.

A method of automatically controlling vehicle auto-hold includes: collecting information on a vehicle traveling condition that applies when a driver operates a brake pedal while a vehicle is traveling; selecting learning data for learning on a pattern of a driver's operation from among pieces of the information collected in the collecting of the information on the vehicle traveling condition and storing the selected learning data; performing the learning on the pattern of the driver's operation based on the learning data and generating a categorization model for the pattern of the driver's operation according to a result of the learning; and determining whether or not to cause the auto-hold switch to enter an automatic operation mode while the vehicle is traveling, using the categorization model, and selectively causing the auto-hold switch to enter the automatic operation mode according to a result of the determining.

In the solution put forth, a pressure level of a pump in a hydraulic transmission system of a hydraulic working machine, or power that is feedable to an electric drive motor of an electric working machine is monitored, and/or the rotation speed at the output of the drive motor of the working machine and the rotation of moving means of the working machine are monitored. The pressure level of the hydraulic power transmission pump, or the power feedable to an electric drive motor, is compared with a lower threshold value to detect a fault situation, and/or the rotation speed at the output of the drive motor is compared with the rotation of the moving means also to detect a fault situation. In case a fault situation is detected, the braking system of the working machine is controlled to apply the brakes.

Systems and methods are provided herein to improve control of automatic driver assist systems in a vehicle and a vehicle comprising said systems, for example, by enabling the automatic driver assist systems to be selectively deactivated or activated under certain conditions.

An arithmetic device includes a first arithmetic chip configured to perform arithmetic processing for realizing driving assistance functions of a vehicle, and a second arithmetic chip configured to perform arithmetic processing for realizing the driving assistance functions of the vehicle, wherein, among the driving assistance functions, second functions realized by the first arithmetic chip along with the second arithmetic chip includes a function of providing at least some of first functions realized without depending on arithmetic processing of the second arithmetic chip in a state in which a task imposed on a driver has been reduced, as compared to the first functions.

Systems and methods are provided for adjusting the creep torque to maneuver a vehicle to a target location. In various embodiments, the creep torque adjustment mode is deactivated when the driver changes the direction of travel. The change in direction also causes the parameters of the creep torque control to be reinitiated to their initial values. In various embodiments, the creep torque mode is increased from a low creep towards a target creep. If the driver engages the brakes, the input torque is set to zero, and when the driver releases the brake, the minimum creep torque is set to the value that creep torque had risen to just before the brake was applied. This allows the driver to control the acceleration and speed, by just braking. In various embodiments, the creep control controls reverse creep to aid in hooking up a vehicle to a trailer.

Embodiments relate to a method, an apparatus, a computer program, a base station and a vehicle for providing information related to an approaching vehicle. The method comprises Receiving (110) information related to a velocity of a plurality of vehicles. The method further comprises Determining (120) the information related to the approaching vehicle based on the information related to the velocity of the plurality of vehicles. The information related to the approaching vehicle indicates a presence of a vehicle of the plurality of vehicles having a velocity higher than an average velocity of the plurality of vehicles. The method further comprises Providing (130) the information related to the approaching vehicle to at least a subset of vehicles of the plurality of vehicles.

A reversing-assistance system for a vehicle, in particular for a utility vehicle, that exhibits a vehicle wiring harness, including: at least one sensor with a first wireless interface, to register a rear region of the vehicle and to transmit corresponding sensor signals in wireless manner; and a control unit, which is connected to the vehicle wiring harness and which includes a second wireless interface, to receive the sensor signals from the at least one sensor in wireless manner, to evaluate the sensor signals and to make them available; in which the control unit is configured to evaluate vehicle-related data independently of the sensor signals and, based on the data, to carry out a control of at least one component of the vehicle so as to perform a control function that is independent of the reversing assistant. Also described are a related method, a computer readable medium, and a utility vehicle.

A vehicle control apparatus, which controls a vehicle having a plurality of driving modes, includes a travel control section that performs travel control of the vehicle based on vicinity information; a limit value determining section that determines a deceleration limit value used when the travel control is performed, according to the driving mode; and a braking control section that performs braking control based on the vicinity information, such that the vehicle decelerates with a deceleration that does not exceed the determined deceleration limit value; wherein the limit value determining section sets the deceleration limit value to a first limit value when the vehicle is driven in a first driving mode, and sets the deceleration limit value to a second limit value higher than the first limit value, when the vehicle is driven in a second driving mode that has a higher degree of automation than the first driving mode.

Systems and methods are provided to provide a steering indicator to a driver of a vehicle. It is determined whether a first obstacle is in a forward path of the vehicle and whether a second obstacle is present at a side of the vehicle. In response to (a) determining the first obstacle is in the forward path and (b) determining whether the second obstacle is present at the one or more sides of the vehicle, a suggested steering action indicator indicating one or more movements for the vehicle to avoid the first obstacle is provided to a user interface of the vehicle.
