A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions, the instructions, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to: perform a follow-up steering control for changing a steering angle of a vehicle in such a manner that the vehicle travels along a target traveling line determined based on a preceding vehicle trajectory, which is a travel trajectory of a preceding vehicle traveling ahead of the vehicle; and when a first distance condition and a manual steering condition are both satisfied while the follow-up steering control is being performed, stop the follow-up steering control, the first distance condition being a condition satisfied when a deviation distance in a road-width direction between the preceding vehicle trajectory and the vehicle is equal to or longer than a predetermined first threshold, and the manual steering condition being a condition satisfied when a driver operates a steering wheel to change a position in the road-width direction.

A vehicle control facility for the automated control of an electrical road vehicle for a route system with an energy-supply system that includes a lane-bound energy supply line, in particular an overhead line system. A position-determining unit determines a geographical position of the electrical road vehicle. A specific-lane-determining unit determines position data for a specific lane assigned to the lane-bound energy supply line. A communication interface transmits current relative positions of infrastructure features with respect to the electrical road vehicle to an external central specific-lane-determining facility and receives position data. A vehicle-control unit controls the electrical road vehicle with respect to the determined specific lane in dependence on the determined relative position of the specific lane.

A method for providing assistance to a driver of a vehicle, the vehicle including a driver assistance system that enables at least temporary autonomous driving, and that, after the termination of the autonomous driving, requests the driver to take over at least the lateral guidance of the vehicle via a signal. It is further provided that the steering of the vehicle is stiffened for a specified time span after the request to take over the lateral guidance. A computer program and a device that are set up to carry out the method, are also described.

The present disclosure provides an assisted driving method, including: monitoring, in response to that a driving speed of a vehicle is less than or equal to a preset speed and a steering wheel direction is deflected within a first preset time period, an instantaneous oil consumption value of the vehicle; determining whether the instantaneous oil consumption value of the vehicle reaches a first preset reference value within a second preset time period; and sending a reminding message in response to that the instantaneous oil consumption value of the vehicle reaches the first preset reference value within the second preset time period. The present disclosure further provides an assisted driving apparatus, an electronic apparatus, a vehicle-mounted system, and a storage medium.

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 vehicle control system includes an acquirer that acquires environmental information including information of a reference speed preset on a scheduled route on which an own-vehicle travels and a travel controller that performs speed control and steering control of the own-vehicle on the basis of the environmental information acquired by the acquirer. The travel controller performs the speed control with the reference speed as a target speed of the own-vehicle if a control index value regarding the steering control is equal to or less than an upper limit value when the own-vehicle travels on the scheduled route at the reference speed and performs the speed control with a speed at which the control index value regarding the steering control is equal to or less than the upper limit value as the target speed of the own-vehicle if the control index value exceeds the upper limit value.

A vehicle movement control apparatus of the invention executes a steering control to change a steering angle of an own vehicle at a predetermined changing rate to cause the own vehicle to move along a target movement line set in an own vehicle lane. The apparatus determines that a predetermined responsive characteristic condition is satisfied when another other vehicle moves in a vehicle lane next to the own vehicle lane, and the other vehicle exists in a predetermined area. The apparatus increases the predetermined changing rate to a larger changing rate when the predetermined responsive characteristic condition is satisfied, compared with when the predetermined responsive characteristic condition is not satisfied.

A method for open-loop or closed-loop control of a driver assistance system of a vehicle, including: a) using a first sensor device to detect from a roadway at least one lane and a roadway marking that separates the lane from an edge of the roadway; b) using a second sensor device to detect operation of at least one operating device of the vehicle that influences the driving dynamics of the vehicle by virtue of the driver; c) using steering actuators and/or brake actuators to influence the driving dynamics of the vehicle; and d) outputting, if there is a threat of the vehicle leaving the lane, as detected by the first sensor device, a first warning signal. A related driver assistance system is also described.

A steering control system for a commercial vehicle having braking and steering systems. The braking system brakes dissymetrically side wheels of the vehicle. The steering system steers the vehicle based on a steering signal. The steering control system includes selection and control modules. The selection module switches between first and second steering modes. The first mode indicates steering of the vehicle by turning vehicle wheels. The second mode indicates steering of the vehicle by generating a braking signal for at least one wheel providing a yaw moment applied to the vehicle. The control module generates the first signal indicating a steering demand in the first mode and a second signal indicating a steering demand in the second mode. The control module provides the first signal to the steering system and the second signal to the braking system to brake the vehicle dissymetrically to steer the vehicle with the yaw moment.

Apparatus for controlling dynamics of a vehicle determines a current course angle (α) of the vehicle. A desired course angle (α.sub.psi) is defined and assigned to a first point on a temporal profile of a desired driving line. The first point is on the desired driving line at a first preview time from a location assigned to an instantaneous vehicle position. A course angle deviation of the current course angle (α) from the desired course angle (α.sub.psi) is determined. A target angle (α.sub.ta) is defined and assigned to a second point on the temporal profile of the desired driving line. The second point is on the desired driving line at a distance of a second preview time from the location. A steering wheel angle (δ) is determined as a total of the target angle (α.sub.ta) reinforced with a first parameter and the course angle deviation reinforced with a second parameter.
