An advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) and a manipulation assembly thereof. The manipulation assembly is configured as a joystick independently arranged in a vertical direction as a whole, and internally includes, at least partially, a plurality of manipulation modules used for an ADAS. The ADAS includes a manipulation assembly, a sensor module configured to detect the states of a driver, a vehicle and/or other vehicles, and a control module configured to receive a manipulation signal sent by the manipulation assembly and sensor data detected by the sensor module, and perform a corresponding driver assistance control operation according to the manipulation signal and the sensor data. Such configurations can improve user manipulation experience and ensure manipulation safety.

An apparatus for automatically setting a speed of a vehicle may include a path guide device configured to obtain information related to a location of the vehicle, a type of a road corresponding to the location, and a speed limit of the road corresponding to the location and a controller configured to be electronically connected to the path guide device, wherein the controller is configured to activate an automatic setting mode for setting a setting speed for autonomous driving of the vehicle to a speed limit of a road corresponding to a current location of the vehicle, when the vehicle enters another type of road from the specified type of road in a state where the automatic setting mode is activated, release the automatic setting mode, and activate the automatic setting mode.

In accordance with an aspect of the present disclosure, cruise control of an automotive vehicle in a fuel economy cruise control mode controls vehicle speed to be within a fuel economy speed band about a cruise control set speed so that instantaneous fuel economy is at least equal to average fuel economy.

Disclosed is a vehicle speed limiter for use with a vehicle throttle system comprising a mechanically actuable throttle member, an engine speed controller, and a throttle signal unit in data communication with an engine speed controller and operably coupled to the throttle member so as to generate an electronic throttle signal in functional response to the degree of actuation of the throttle member, and to transmit a throttle signal to the engine speed controller whereby the engine speed is controlled; the vehicle speed limiter comprising a vehicle speed sensor (15) to obtain a signal indicative of vehicle speed; a GPS system (30), operable to provide a speed limit applicable for a present position of the vehicle; a comparator to compare the speed sensor (15) output with the speed limit provided from the GPS system (30); a throttle signal modifier unit (23) acting on the output of a throttle signal unit in use when fitted in conjunction with a vehicle throttle system to modify a generated throttle signal so that a transmitted throttle signal is produced such as to tend to limit the vehicle to the speed limit for the present position of the vehicle.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include a wheelchair configured to reposition an occupant between a lowered and a raised position. The wheelchair can include a frame, a seat moveable relative to the frame, a drive wheel, and one or more pairs of arm assemblies. The arm assembly includes a wheel configured to move from a first spatial location when the wheel chair is operating on flat, level ground to a second spatial location that is different than the first spatial location. Arm limiters that can selectively engage the arm assembly dependent on the position of the arm assembly and surface conditions of ground and can limit the range of motion of the arm assembly and sometimes other operational aspects of the chair.

A method is provided to control the acceleration of a motor vehicle from a current speed, wherein the motor vehicle includes an accelerator pedal system able to generate on the accelerator pedal an added reaction force when the depression of the accelerator pedal reaches a given depression level. The method includes the steps of: a) measuring the current vehicle speed; b) determining a target speed of the motor vehicle in function at least of the current vehicle speed or determining from the current vehicle speed a maximum acceleration rate; c) determining at least one threshold depression level of the accelerator pedal that corresponds to the stabilization of the vehicle speed at the target speed or that corresponds to maximum acceleration rate; d) generating an added reaction force on the accelerator pedal if the depression of the accelerator pedal reaches or is about to reach the threshold depression level; wherein at least steps a), b), and c) are automatically repeated as vehicle speed increases.

A vehicle speed regulation apparatus and system comprises a speed control apparatus having a front panel with a solar panel and display screen, a control panel with means to increase or decrease a desired speed, an internal communication transceiver, and a means for communicating with a vehicle transceiver, along with other elements.

A vehicle's accelerator pedal depression amount is detected; a speed limit of a road on which the vehicle is traveling is determined; a start of a lane change is estimated; an upper-limit speed is determined each time when the speed limit changes; and the travelling speed is controlled to not exceed the upper-limit speed even if the accelerator pedal depression amount increases to cause the speed of the vehicle to exceed the upper-limit speed. The speed of the vehicle is controlled, until a predetermined timing, to not exceed the upper-limit speed determined before the start of a lane change is estimated, if (i) the start of a lane change is estimated, and (ii) a reduction in the speed limit is determined. After the predetermined timing, the speed of the vehicle is controlled to not exceed the currently determined upper-limit speed.

A work vehicle may include an engine, a drive train driven by the engine, and a track system including at least one track. The track system is connected to the drive train. The work vehicle may further include a temperature sensor configured to sense a track temperature of the at least one track and a vehicle control system configured to receive the track temperature and to determine misalignment of the at least one track based at least in part upon the sensed track temperature.

A recreational vehicle includes a seatbelt sensor configured to detect when a seatbelt is in an engaged position or a disengaged position and an engine control module in communication with the seatbelt sensor to automatically limit a maximum speed of the vehicle to a reduced maximum speed limit upon detection of the seatbelt is in the disengaged position.
