A control system (100) for an emergency braking system (200) using at least one transmitter/receiver sensor (210) comprising: means for causing automatic transition, from a first state (310) in which the emergency braking system (200) is inactive to a second state (320) in which the emergency braking system (200) is active, in dependence upon satisfaction of a first condition (412); and means for causing automatic transition from the second state (320) to the first state (310) in dependence upon satisfaction of a second condition (421) different to the first condition (412) wherein transition from the second state (320) to the first state (310) does not occur in dependence upon the first condition (412) no longer being satisfied, and/or transition from the first state (320) to the second state (310) does not occur in dependence upon the second condition (421) no longer being satisfied.

A vehicle braking control method. The method portion includes: when a vehicle is in a preset parking state, monitoring state signal of a vehicle system in real time, the vehicle system comprises a service brake system, a reversing assistance system, and a plurality of electronic parking brake systems; determining whether the vehicle meets a preset fault condition according to the state signals of the service brake system, the electric parking brake system and reversing assistance system; activating a non-faulty electronic parking brake system to control the vehicle to park if it is determined that the vehicle meets the preset fault condition. The present disclosure ensures the safety of a vehicle during low-speed remote parking when the vehicle is in a preset parking state, and solves the problem of potential safety hazards caused by having no matching control solution. Also provided are a corresponding device and a storage medium.

Systems and methods to control a radar system to perform cross-traffic management in a vehicle with a trailer involve determining a location of the trailer behind the vehicle, and adjusting an initial field of view of the radar system to a modified field of view that excludes the location of the trailer. One or more other vehicles are detected with the radar system having the modified field of view. A cross-traffic alert is implemented based on the detecting the one or more other vehicles.

Aspects of the subject technology relate to a vehicle backup warning system. A rearview image is received from a rearview camera capturing images of an area behind an own vehicle. The rearview image is determined to include a plurality of white pixels each having a luminance value equal to or above a luminance threshold. Two or more white pixels within a first distance of one another are grouped from the plurality of white pixels. The rearview image is determined to include two groups of the two or more white pixels. A distance between centers of the two groups is determined to be equal to or less than a second distance of each other. The two groups are identified as a pair of illuminated backup lights of a vehicle in the area behind the own vehicle. A warning is provided to alert that the vehicle's intention to backup.

A method of operating a vehicle wherein the method comprises using a distance sensor to determine the distance between a part of the vehicle and an object, and implementing a speed control procedure if the distance detected by the distance sensor falls below a predetermined value, characterized in that the method is implemented only while the vehicle is in reverse gear and for a period of time immediately following disengagement of the reverse gear.

A trailer backup assist system for a vehicle reversing a trailer is provided herein. The system includes a brake system and a steering system of the vehicle. A controller is configured to output a brake torque request to the brake system and a steering command to the steering system, wherein the brake torque request and the steering command are each based at least in part on a trailer mass.

A vehicle reverse traveling speed limiting apparatus includes a fluid pressure detector, a brake driver, a limiting speed setter, and a reverse traveling speed controller. The fluid pressure detector detects a brake fluid pressure. The brake driver causes a main brake to perform braking based on a set instruction fluid pressure. The limiting speed setter sets a limiting speed upon reverse traveling. The reverse traveling speed controller executes torque and brake controls to allow an actual vehicle speed of a vehicle to be maintained at the limiting speed. When the actual vehicle speed is higher than the limiting speed, the reverse traveling speed controller sets the instruction fluid pressure to allow the actual vehicle speed to be converged to the limiting speed, and executes, even when the brake fluid pressure is higher than the instruction fluid pressure, the brake control to allow the instruction fluid pressure to be maintained.

A vehicle reverse assistant includes a rear side sensor, a towed object detector, and a stop determination threshold distance setter. The rear side sensor is provided at a rear portion of an own vehicle. The rear side sensor senses a rear side sensing region. The towed object detector detects whether a towed object is connected to the rear portion of the own vehicle. The stop determination threshold distance setter sets one end of a stop determination threshold distance at a position spaced apart at a constant distance from a rear end of the towed object on a basis of a sensing signal supplied from the rear side sensor when the towed object detector detects connection of the towed object.

An example trailer road grade estimating method includes calculating a road grade beneath a trailer vehicle based on a difference between a first estimated mass and a second estimated mass.

A trailer backup assist system for a vehicle reversing a trailer includes a brake system and a throttle sensor module outputting a throttle application signal. The system further includes a control module estimating a road grade beneath the trailer and outputting a brake torque request to the brake system based on the estimated road grade and the throttle application signal.
