System and techniques for vehicle operation safety model (VOSM) compliance measurement are described herein. A subject vehicle is tested in a vehicle following scenario against VOSM parameter compliance. The test measures the subject vehicle activity during phases of the following scenario in which a lead vehicle slows and produces log data and calculations that form the basis of a VOSM compliance measurement.

A vehicle control system for moving a vehicle to a target location is disclosed. According to examples of the disclosure, a camera captures one or more images of a known object corresponding to the target location. An on-board computer having stored thereon information about the known object can process the one or more images to determine vehicle location with respect to the known object. The system can use the vehicle's determined location and a feedback controller to move the vehicle to the target location.

The present disclosure relates to a vehicle and a parking control method therefor which can prevent a parking curb or a driving system from being damaged during parking due to collision with the parking curb or running over the parking curb according to creep torque imitation by an electric motor in a vehicle equipped with the electric motor. A parking control method includes determining whether a parking situation occurs, applying a creep torque modification coefficient to a creep torque until contact with an object that applies a reaction force to a wheel in a parking direction is sensed to determine a modified creep torque upon determining the parking situation, and variably controlling the creep torque by applying a variable coefficient to the modified creep torque.

The invention concerns a method for operating a brake back-up system (8) of a motor vehicle (2), with the steps: (S100) Reading in operating data (BD) of the motor vehicle (2), (S200) Evaluating the read-in operating data (BD) to identify malfunctions of a braking system of the motor vehicle (2), and (S300) Providing at least one actuation signal (AS, AS′) to influence components of a drive train of the motor vehicle (2).

An agricultural machine includes a vehicle body, an obstacle detector to detect obstacles, an autonomous travel controller to perform autonomous travel of the vehicle body, the autonomous travel controller being configured or programmed to, when performing the autonomous travel, stop the vehicle body based on detection information about an obstacle detected by the obstacle detector, and a mode switch to switch a mode during the autonomous travel in an agricultural field between an effective mode in which the stopping of the vehicle body based on the detection information is allowed and an ineffective mode in which the stopping of the vehicle body based on the detection information is not allowed.

A parking collision avoidance system for a vehicle includes a sensing device configured to detect obstacles around the vehicle; and a control device that obtains type information of the obstacle and a point of expected collision timing with the obstacle according to sensing data received from the sensing device, determines a point of braking start timing of a braking device according to the point of the expected collision timing, and adjusts the point of the braking start timing according to the type information.

A control method for distribution of braking force of an autonomous vehicle may include a vertical load determination step in which a controller is configured to recognize an object existing in an interior of the vehicle and recognizes data of at least one among a position in the vehicle, a size, volume, density, weight, and center of gravity of the corresponding object, and determines a vertical load applied to each wheel of the vehicle according to the recognized data, wherein the controller transmits data of the determined vertical load of each wheel to a brake controller electrically connected to the controller, and the brake controller 40 determines an amount of the distribution of the braking force for each wheel of the vehicle according to the received data of the vertical load and drives a brake actuator electrically connected to the brake controller according to the determined amount of the distribution of the braking force.

The present disclosure provides a method and a device for vehicle parking control. The method includes following steps performed according to a predetermined time period until the vehicle stops at an end point: determining (101) a target position and a target speed when the vehicle arrives at the target position based on a current speed of the vehicle and a distance between a current position and the end point, the target position being on a road where the vehicle is located and in front of the vehicle; determining (102) a deceleration motion mode for the vehicle based on the current speed of the vehicle and the target speed; and performing (103) braking control for the vehicle in accordance with a vehicle braking strategy corresponding to the deceleration motion mode. The method can solve the problem in the related art associated with inaccurate vehicle parking control and uncomfortable experience.

A vehicle parking brake control includes a parking switch for switching the parking brake between ON and OFF, a vehicle power source switch for switching a power source of the vehicle between ON and OFF, a parking brake controller for executing automatic application control when the power source is operated from ON to OFF by the occupant with use of the vehicle power source switch, and a prohibition condition determination unit for determining that when the parking brake is OFF, the vehicle is stopped, and the vehicle power source is ON, a prohibition condition for prohibiting automatically turning the parking brake on is satisfied when a turning-off operation for the vehicle power source switch is executed after a turning-off operation for the parking switch is executed. When a determination is made that the prohibition condition is satisfied, the parking brake controller does not execute the automatic application control.
