This control device for a vehicle switches a shift range of an automatic transmission through the use of an actuator, wherein the control device for a vehicle is characterized in being provided with a shift selection unit for receiving a shift position selection from a driver and a control unit for switching the shift range to a parking range through the use of an actuator when a vehicle power source turns off or when a drive power source stops, the control unit maintaining a neutral range, when the vehicle power source turns off or when the drive power source stops, until the elapse of a first prescribed time after the shift selection unit receives a neutral position selection while the vehicle power source is on or while the drive power source is driving.

[Problem] Provided are a composite cable and a composite harness that allow the improvement of cable termination workability while maintaining the flex resistance.

[Solution] A composite cable 1 is provided with a pair of first electric wires 2, a twisted pair wire 4 formed by twisting a pair of second electric wires 3 having a smaller outer diameter than the first electric wires 2 and a tape member 6 spirally wound around an assembled article 5 that is formed by twisting the pair of first electric wires 2 and the twisted pair wire 4 together, wherein a twist direction of the twisted pair wire 4 is different from a twist direction of the assembled article 5, and the twist direction of the assembled article 5 is different from a winding direction of the tape member 6.

An automated parking brake for a motor vehicle having at least one brake device is configured to adopt at least two states. In a first state, no clamping force is established by the parking brake, and in a second state, a clamping force is established by the parking brake. A transition point defines a transition between the two states. An identification of the transition point is carried out during a releasing process of the parking brake.

A supplemental braking system for controlling the braking of a towed vehicle. a supplemental brake application apparatus, a supplemental braking monitor, and a transmitter. The supplemental brake application apparatus is configured to be installed in a towed vehicle. The supplemental brake application apparatus is configured to move a brake pedal of the towed vehicle between a first position and a second position. The supplemental braking monitor is also configured to be installed in the towed vehicle. The supplemental braking monitor includes a proximity sensor configured to produce a proximity detection signal, and a mounting plate configured to secure the proximity sensor in a position such that the proximity sensor can detect movement of the brake pedal. The proximity detection signal is based at least in part on movement of the brake pedal. The transmitter is configured to send a brake status signal to a towing vehicle.

A composite cable includes a first twisted-pair wire formed by twisting a pair of first electric wires, a second twisted-pair wire formed by twisting a pair of second electric wires, a pair of third electric wires arranged between the first and second twisted-pair wires in a circumferential direction, each third electric wire having a larger outer diameter than the first and second electric wires, and a tape member spirally wound around an assembled article that is formed by twisting the first twisted-pair wire, the second twisted-pair wire and the pair of third electric wires together. The two twisted-pair wires have the same twist direction, the twist direction of the two twisted-pair wires is different from a twist direction of the assembled article, and the twist direction of the assembled article is different from a winding direction of the tape member.

A brake assembly includes a service brake assembly and an electromechanically actuable parking brake assembly. The electromechanically actuable parking brake assembly has a ball nut assembly comprising a ball screw and a ball nut. The ball screw and ball nut form a raceway for bearing members. The bearing members circulate within an internal path formed in the ball screw.

When a parking brake mechanism is in a braking state and an operation switch is switched to a braking-released state, a control unit of an electric vehicle brings a parking brake mechanism into a braking-released state on the condition that the control unit detects using a stop lamp switch that the brake pedal is not depressed and detects that the shift range of the shift lever is a P range.

A composite cable is provided that improves terminal machinability while maintaining bending resistance. The composite cable is provided with: a pair of first electric wires; a twisted-pair wire obtained by twisting together a pair of second electric wires having an outer diameter that is smaller than that of the first electric wires; and a tape member spirally wrapped around an aggregate obtained by twisting the pair of first electric wires together with the twisted-pair wire. The twisting direction of the twisted-pair wire, the twisting direction of the aggregate, and the wrapping direction of the tape member are all the same direction.
