A method for controlling configuration of a truck includes identifying a current operating situation of the truck, implementing one of a plurality of sets of configuration parameters associated with the current operating situation, wherein each set of configuration parameters comprises at least two different configuration parameters related respectively to a ground-linking system and a powertrain system of the truck, and wherein said plurality of sets of configuration parameters comprises at least a default set of configuration parameters associated with a default driving operating situation and an off-road set of configuration parameters associated with an off-road operating situation.

The present disclosure relates to an illumination system for a motor vehicle for illuminating a carriageway section. The aim is to illuminate the carriageway section in such a way that irritations for other road users are avoided as far as possible. The illumination system includes an information system for providing or detecting a stopping point, an illumination device for projecting a calculated light distribution onto the carriageway section, and a control unit for calculating a light distribution, wherein the calculated light distribution is a one-piece area. The one-piece area begins from a predetermined starting section, which constitutes a proximal lighting section relative to the motor vehicle and does not extend beyond the stopping point. This leads to a shortening of a lane light of the motor vehicle, so that said lane light does not illuminate the lane beyond the stopping point. This is advantageous in particular for crossroads.

A vehicular driver assistance system includes a camera that views through the windshield of the vehicle and a control device having an image processor that processes captured image data. Responsive to processing of captured image data by the image processor, the system adjusts a light beam emitted by a headlamp of the vehicle. The control device, responsive at least in part to image data processing by the image processor, determines when the vehicle is at a construction zone. Responsive to determination that the vehicle is at a construction zone, image processing of image data captured by the camera is adjusted to discriminate construction zone signs from taillights of leading vehicles. Responsive to determination of the vehicle exiting the construction zone, the control device adjusts the light beam emitted by the headlamp of the vehicle responsive to determination of headlamps of approaching vehicles and taillights of leading vehicles.

There is provided an automated valet parking server that causes an autonomous driving vehicle in a parking place to perform automated valet parking by instructing the autonomous driving vehicle. The automated valet parking server includes an illuminance information acquisition unit configured to acquire illuminance information of front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle, an illuminance suppression point setting unit configured to set an illuminance suppression point which is a position in the parking place at which illuminance of the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle is suppressed based on parking place map information of the parking place and the illuminance information of the front lighting devices of the autonomous driving vehicle, and an illuminance suppression instruction unit configured to instruct the autonomous driving vehicle to perform illuminance suppression at the illuminance suppression point.

A vehicular vision system includes an image processor and a camera that views through the windshield of the vehicle. The camera captures image data as the vehicle travels along a road, and the image processor processes image data captured by the camera. The vehicular vision system, responsive at least in part to processing by the image processor of image data captured by the camera, determines when the vehicle is at a construction zone. Responsive to determining that the vehicle is at the construction zone, the vehicular vision system adjusts a vehicular driver assistance system of the vehicle. The vehicular vision system determines that the vehicle exits the construction zone based at least in part on processing by the image processor of image data captured by the camera.

An in-vehicle device that displays a setting screen for setting a function of a vehicle includes a display control unit that displays a vehicle image which is an image of a vehicle having a plurality of light units on the setting screen and that changes the on-off state of each of the plurality of light units shown in the vehicle image, according to the function to be set of the vehicle.

An automated driving enabled vehicle includes a travel controller, an automated driving indicator lamp, and a lamp controller. The automated driving indicator lamp is switched on perceptibly from outside the vehicle on the occasion of automated driving. The lamp controller acquires, during the execution of the automated driving, attribute information regarding a place being traveled by the vehicle. The lamp controller makes a lighting control of the automated driving indicator lamp during the execution of the automated driving, in accordance with the place being traveled by the vehicle executing the automated driving.

Off-road lighting control systems and methods are disclosed herein. An example vehicle can include off-road lighting mounted to an outside of the vehicle, as well as a controller including a processor and memory. The processor executes instructions in memory to determine a category of a road that the vehicle is located on using location-based information and automatically control the off-road lighting based on the category of the road.

An intent-indication system includes an intersection-detector, a vehicle-detector, and a controller. The intersection-detector is suitable for use on a host-vehicle. The intersection-detector is used to determine that the host-vehicle is stopped at an intersection. The vehicle-detector is also suitable for use on the host-vehicle. The vehicle-detector is used to detect a presence of an other-vehicle proximate to the intersection. The controller is in communication with the intersection-detector and the vehicle-detector. The controller is configured to operate host-headlights of the host-vehicle to provide an indication of intent of the host-vehicle to the other-vehicle when the host-vehicle and the other-vehicle have been stopped at the intersection for more than a time-threshold.

Upon determining that a vehicle is operating at an off-road location, a control parameter for the vehicle can be adjusted to compensate for data from a vehicle sensor affected by operating at the off-road location. The vehicle can then be operated at the off-road location according to the adjusted control parameter.
