A method and device for controlling brake system based on preceding vehicle recognition are disclosed. The device comprising: a data collecting unit configured to collect front data and rear data of a preceding vehicle, a driving trajectory extracting unit configured to extract a driving trajectory of a lane in which the vehicle is traveling, a preceding vehicle analysis unit configured to determine driving information of the preceding vehicle, a preceding vehicle determining unit configured to determine intervention of the preceding vehicle or deviation of the preceding vehicle with respect to the driving trajectory, and a control unit configured to control the brake system.

A lane departure prevention system includes a controller configured to control a braking force of vehicle wheels such that a lane departure prevention yaw moment is applied to a vehicle. The controller determines whether there is a likelihood that the vehicle enters a spinning state based on at least one of a difference between an actual yaw rate and a normative yaw rate of the vehicle calculated based on a steering angle, a vehicle speed, and the lane departure prevention yaw moment, and a degree of braking slip of a turning inside wheel when the lane departure prevention yaw moment is a yaw moment for preventing departure of the vehicle from a lane to a turning outside, and applies a spin prevention yaw moment to the vehicle when it is determined that there is a likelihood that the vehicle will enter the spinning state.

A brake system for a transportation vehicle, a transportation vehicle having a brake system, and a method for operating a brake system. The brake system has two control units, wherein the respective control unit actuates a respective brake circuit of the brake system, which includes two of four service brakes and one of two electric parking brakes of the brake system. In response to a defect in one of the brake circuits, the control unit of the other brake circuit actuates the respective brakes of the other brake circuit, to carry out trailer combination stabilization of a trailer combination having the transportation vehicle and a trailer coupled to the transportation vehicle; and/or to steer the transportation vehicle in the case of a defect in a steering system of the transportation vehicle based on a steering command of a control device for autonomous driving.

A system for monitoring vehicle behavior based on vehicle control data includes a network access device configured to receive braking data from multiple vehicles, the braking data corresponding to vehicle braking events having a brake pressure that is equal to or greater than a threshold brake pressure and including a corresponding location. The system further includes a processor coupled to the memory and configured to determine an event of interest on a roadway by analyzing the braking data and the corresponding location, and to transmit a notification of the event of interest to at least one vehicle.

A lane keeping control method for a vehicle may include determining, by a controller, whether a wheel speed difference exists between predetermined wheels, during braking while the vehicle travels straight, determining, by the controller, a reference wheel and a control wheel, based on the wheel speed difference between the predetermined wheels, and reducing, by the controller, a wheel speed difference between the reference wheel and the control wheel by performing pre-decompression control for the control wheel, when the wheel speed difference exists.

A controller for changing between a respective first configuration and a respective second configuration of at least one active safety system of an automated motor vehicle is provided. The controller is configured to detect a change in the operating mode of the motor vehicle from an at least highly automated operating mode into a maximally partially automated operating mode and to change the at least one active safety system from the first configuration to the second configuration when a change is detected.

Systems and methods are disclosed for predicting a hot spot. One method comprises receiving, by a hot spot prediction system, vehicle characteristics associated with a vehicle and traffic data. Then the hot spot prediction system determines a hot spot and an estimated arrival time at the hot spot based on the vehicle characteristics and the traffic data. Following the determination, an auto brake application system receives the hot spot and the estimated arrival time and determines a safe stop time based on the vehicle characteristics, the hot spot and the estimated arrival time. The auto brake application system then sends a notification to the vehicle based on determining that the vehicle can stop within the safe stop time, and performs an action in response to receiving a confirmation from the vehicle.

A road-surface-condition estimation device is configured by a tire-side device and a vehicle-side device so as to grasp a road surface condition based on road surface condition data transmitted from a tire-side device. As a result, the road surface condition or a road surface μ of a traveling road surface of a vehicle can be accurately detected, and a more accurate lane keeping control can be performed according to the detection result. In particular, since the tire-side device estimates the road surface condition by detecting the vibration of a ground contact surface of the tire, the road surface condition can be estimated more accurately. Therefore, the more accurate lane keeping control can be performed.

A lane departure preventing device includes at least one electronic control unit. The at least one electronic control unit is configured to: when there is a likelihood that a vehicle will depart from a traveling lane, calculate a prevention yaw moment, and control a brake actuator such that the prevention yaw moment is applied to the vehicle; acquire a lateral acceleration; determine whether the lateral acceleration is greater than an ideal value by a predetermined value; control the brake actuator such that the braking force matches a target braking force required to apply the prevention yaw moment to the vehicle, when the lateral acceleration is not greater than the ideal value by the predetermined value; and control the brake actuator such that the braking force is less than the target braking force, when the lateral acceleration is greater than the ideal value by the predetermined value.

A brake assistance apparatus for a vehicle is provided. The brake assistance apparatus includes a detecting unit and a brake assistance control unit. The detecting unit detects a state surrounding an own vehicle. The brake assistance control unit performs brake assistance to brake the own vehicle at a first brake timing, based on the detected state surrounding the own vehicle. In response to the own vehicle being determined to be advancing at an intersection based on the detected state surrounding the own vehicle, the brake assistance control unit performs the brake assistance at a second brake timing that is later than the first brake timing.
