An automatic vehicle speed control system for use in a vehicle having an implement is disclosed. The automatic vehicle speed control system includes: a controller configured to: set a speed of the vehicle to a creep setting; monitor one or more operating conditions of the implement; and automatically adjust the speed of the vehicle based on the one or more operating conditions of the implement.

The present disclosure includes methods of operating a wheelchair configured to reposition an occupant between a lowered and a raised position. The wheelchair can include a frame, a seat moveable relative to the frame, a drive wheel, one or more pairs of arm assemblies, and one or more sensors. The arm assembly includes a wheel configured to move from a first spatial location when the wheelchair is operating on flat, level ground to a second spatial location that is different than the first spatial location. Arm limiters can selectively engage the arm assembly based on at least one of a seat position, position of the arm assembly, and surface conditions of ground surface. The arm limiters can limit the range of motion of the arm assembly and sometimes other operational aspects of the chair. The methods adjust the maximum operational speed of the wheelchair when the seat is in an elevated position based on sensor data relating to one or more of the arm limiter position and the position of the frame.

A visual theft prevention system for a vehicle 1 comprises at least one sheet of automotive glass configured as a vehicle windscreen 2, and; at least one film layer attached to the at least one sheet of automotive glass, the film layer configured to have an active state where the film layer is substantially opaque, and an inactive state where the film layer is substantially transparent, the film layer shaped and sized such that when in the active state, the view of a user through the vehicle windscreen 2 is substantially blocked.

A track for a track vehicle has sensor-receiving cavities disposed therein. Removeable sensors are placed in the sensor-receiving cavities for sensing characteristics of the track during operation.

A driving support apparatus includes a feedback control system. The feedback control system calculates each operation amount of a brake actuator and a drive actuator so as to match an actual value of a control amount indicating a motion state of the vehicle to a target value. The target value of the control amount is set so as to stop the vehicle to a target stop position. The driving support apparatus sets, when remaining distance from a current position of the vehicle to the target stop position is first distance, a feedback gain of the feedback control system to large value, as compared with the feedback gain set when the remaining distance is second distance which is greater than the first distance.

A control unit arranged to monitor a load distribution of a vehicle when the vehicle is in motion, the control unit comprising an interface arranged to receive a plurality of load values associated with one or more vehicle axles and/or one or more vehicle wheels from a plurality of load sensors arranged on the vehicle, wherein the control unit is arranged to determine a vehicle load distribution based on the plurality of load values, to compare the determined vehicle load distribution to a pre-determined allowable vehicle load distribution, and to trigger an emergency procedure in case the determined vehicle load distribution differs from the pre-determined vehicle load distribution by more than an allowable amount.

Provided is An apparatus for assisting driving of a host vehicle, the apparatus comprising: a camera mounted to the host vehicle and having a field of view in front of the host vehicle, the camera configured to acquire image data; and a controller including a processor configured to process the image data, and configured to receive a map on which the host vehicle travels from a server, compare a speed limit included in the map with a speed limit included in the image data, and control a display of the host vehicle so as to display the speed limit based on the image data.

Controlling a prime mover of a first vehicle following a first path is based, at least in part, on a likely speed behaviour of a second vehicle ahead of the first vehicle, which is estimated based on a predicted path of the second vehicle. At least one coasting profile for the first vehicle is estimated for at least part of the first path and/or the predicted path. At least one of the coasting profiles is determined that meets at least one predetermined coasting requirement. The prime mover may be controlled to place the vehicle into a coasting mode based on the determined coasting profile. Alternatively, feedback is provided to a user to put the vehicle into a coasting mode.

When an inclination angle is greater than or equal to a first threshold, a controller determines a displacement of a hydraulic pump from a command vehicle speed based on second pump data and determines a displacement of a hydraulic motor from the command vehicle speed based on second motor data. The second pump data defines the displacement of the hydraulic pump that is smaller than that of first pump data with respect to the command vehicle speed. The second motor data defines the displacement of the hydraulic motor that is smaller than that of first motor data with respect to the command vehicle speed.

Disclosed is a solution to the use of a speed limiter in a motorcycle that has a high capacity for acceleration, including a method for limiting the speed of a motorcycle using precise parameters of speed, acceleration and required engine torque and a single control button to manage the smart activation and deactivation of the limiter and to input new speed limits V.sub.lim in a simple way. It thus allows the use of a speed-limiting system in a motorcycle that has a high power/weight ratio by avoiding the sources of interference with the riding and the effects liable to jeopardize its stability.
