A remote parking control system and a fail-safe method thereof may include at least one controller and a remote parking control apparatus that performs braking control according to motor reverse torque control and transmission stage control, when a braking controller among the at least one controller fails, upon remote parking control.

A parking release monitoring device for an automatic transmission vehicle is proposed. The device includes: a receiver sensing an output signal of a shift lever; a determiner determining a target gear stage in accordance with the output signal of the shift lever; a driver transmitting a control signal to a parking solenoid to engage a parking sprag and applying a driving current to a clutch control solenoid to engage a clutch and prevent rolling of the vehicle when the determined target gear stage is a P-gear stage; and a detector measuring the intensity of the driving current applied to the clutch control solenoid, in which the determiner receives intensity information of the driving current applied to the clutch control solenoid from the detector and compares the received intensity information of the driving current with the output signal of the shift lever, thereby determining whether parking release has occurred.

A drive device for a PTO shaft includes a parking switch to detect a parking state of a vehicle body, a permission switch constituted of a self-returning switch and connected to the parking switch, the permission switch being configured to be switched to permit driving a PTO shaft, the PTO shaft being configured to be driven by a power of a prime mover disposed on the vehicle body, and a first switch device to be switched to enable the PTO shaft to be driven when the permission switch is switched to permit driving the PTO shaft under a state where the parking switch detects the parking state of the vehicle body.

An apparatus for preventing rolling of a vehicle operating in an automatic vehicle hold mode includes a reset determination unit configured to determine whether an automatic hold controller controlling an operation of the automatic vehicle hold mode has been reset, a mode determination unit configured to determine whether a mode of the vehicle is the automatic vehicle hold mode when it is determined that the automatic hold controller has been reset, and a vehicle control unit configured to brake the vehicle, based on at least one of a gear position, an opening degree of an accelerator pedal, and whether a brake pedal is operated, when it is determined that the mode of the vehicle is the automatic vehicle hold mode.

A vehicle controller applies a braking force to wheels using a hydraulic braking force generating mechanism and sets a vehicle driving torque, which is generated by an engine, to a second torque which is smaller than a first torque in a normal state, when a switch is switched to an ON state in a state in which a vehicle is traveling and an accelerator is turned on. Then vehicle stops, the vehicle controller implements an EPB mechanical operating state using a mechanical parking brake mechanism. When the switch is switched to an OFF sate, the vehicle controller maintains the EPB mechanical operating state until an accelerator pedal operating level reaches “0,” and maintains the vehicle driving torque at the second torque. Then the accelerator pedal operating level reaches “0”, the EPB mechanical operating state is released and the vehicle driving torque is returned to the first torque.

A control system and related method for controlling the machine in a mine. The control system may comprise a LADAR, an interface device, a processor and an AECM. The LADAR may be configured to capture scan data of physical mine walls. The interface device may be configured to display a mine map illustrating a section of the mine. The processor may be configured to add a virtual wall to the mine map in response to a first user input. The processor may be configured to add a temporary wall to the mine map in response to a second user input. The temporary wall may be based on scan data of a physical mine wall captured by the LADAR. The AECM is configured to control an operation of the machine, based on the mine map, to avoid collision of the machine with the virtual wall or the temporary wall.

A method for the provisional determination of the mass of a motor vehicle, for controlling a starting operation when the motor vehicle is at rest. The method determines the mass of the motor vehicle as a function of inclination information about the motor vehicle or the road on which the motor vehicle is located, and as a function of a force required for releasing an engaged parking lock while the motor vehicle is at rest.

A control device for a vehicle is provided. The control device includes an electronic control unit that is configured to: exert the torque of an input member on a fixed member and a rotating member such that the fixed member and the rotating member are separated from each other, when the thrust is exerted for making the engagement teeth mesh with each other; estimate an inclination angle of tooth surfaces based on a relative movement amount between the fixed member and the rotating member, and a relative rotational amount between the fixed member and the rotating member; estimate a frictional coefficient of the tooth surfaces based on the inclination angle; and control the thrust of the actuator according to the frictional coefficient.

Controller and control method for improving operability at a time when a brake force that is retained in hill-hold control is reduced. A control section for executing the hill-hold control that retains the brake force on an inclined road surface is provided. The control section cancels retention of the brake force in the case where it is determined on the basis of a detection signal of a first detection mechanism that a first operation section for operating a brake mechanism is operated when the brake force is retained in the hill-hold control.
