A vehicle includes a driving support system that sets an action plan for driving support of the vehicle, a motion manager including one or more processors that arbitrate a plurality of action plans set by the driving support system, and an actuator system to which a motion request generated using a result of arbitration by the motion manager is distributed. The one or more processors of the motion manager predicts a total weight of the vehicle and a position of a center of gravity of the vehicle, and correct the motion request based on the predicted total weight and the predicted position of the center of gravity.

An advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) controls a vehicle using two or more of: static objects, a vehicle heading angle, or a vehicle curvature at least when a satellite navigation signal is weak or lost. Distances from the vehicle to the static objects are measured by sensor(s) to be the same in both coordinate systems, and the vehicle location is found as an intersection between circles in the ground coordinate system. The ADAS can use sums of transverse and longitudinal distances, with a vehicle heading angle or a vehicle curvature, to determine the vehicle location with a weak or lost satellite signal, such as using a linear vehicle model or a curvature-based vehicle model.

Systems and methods for determining a maximum phase recovery envelope are disclosed herein. In one example, a system includes a processor and a memory having a vehicle control module. The vehicle control module includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to determine a critical point on a phase plane indicating a maximum defined recovery point a vehicle can recover from, perform forward and reverse simulations from the critical point to define outermost contours of a maximum phase recovery envelope using parameters and state of the vehicle, and cause the vehicle to operate within the maximum phase recovery envelope.

A computer system and computer-implemented method for determining a longitudinal slip limit for a steered axle of a vehicle having two steered axles are disclosed. The computer system has processing circuitry to acquire a reference body slip for a steered axle of the vehicle; acquire a current body slip for the steered axle; determine a first difference between the reference body slip and the current body slip; acquire an initial longitudinal slip limit for the steered axle; and determine an adjusted longitudinal slip limit for the steered axle based on the first difference and the initial longitudinal slip limit for the steered axle.

A computer system and computer-implemented method for determining a rotational speed limit for a steered axle of a vehicle having two steered axles are disclosed. The computer system has processing circuitry to acquire a combined slip limit for the steered axle based on a slip diamond; determine a longitudinal slip limit for the steered axle based on the combined slip limit and a current lateral slip of the steered axle; and determine a rotational speed limit for the steered axle based on the determined longitudinal slip limit, a radius of a wheel of the steered axle, and a current longitudinal velocity of the vehicle.

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.
