A driving support apparatus is provided with: a recognizer configured to obtain information indicating a surrounding environment of a host vehicle, and configured to recognize a deceleration required target, which is a target that requires deceleration of the host vehicle; and a supporter configured to perform a driving support operation for supporting the deceleration of the host vehicle, on condition that the deceleration required target is recognized by the recognizer. If a recognition situation, which is recognized by said recognizer, of the deceleration required target that causes the driving support operation to be performed becomes uncertain while performing the driving support operation, said supporter is configured to maintain a preceding operating state of the driving support operation, which is an operating state immediately before the recognition situation becomes uncertain.

The present invention obtains a controller and a control method capable of achieving appropriate cornering during cruise control of a straddle-type vehicle.

In the controller and the control method according to the present invention, during the cruise control, in which acceleration/deceleration of the straddle-type vehicle is automatically controlled without relying on an accelerating/decelerating operation by a driver, an entry of a curved road is detected on the basis of a predicted route of the straddle-type vehicle, and the straddle-type vehicle is decelerated at a time point before the straddle-type vehicle reaches the entry.

A track for a track vehicle has sensor-receiving cavities disposed therein. Removeable sensors are placed in the sensor-receiving cavities for sensing characteristics of the track during operation.

A method of operating a personal mobility is provided. The method includes receiving, by a processor in the personal mobility, user identification information for a user authentication and transmitting the received user identification information to a server. A use approval message is received from the server when the user is a user registered in the server and the personal mobility is operated by the user according to the received use approval message.

A method detects unintended acceleration of a motor vehicle during a closed-loop speed control mode by determining external forces on the vehicle via a controller, and then calculating a desired acceleration using a measured vehicle speed and the external forces. The method includes determining an actual acceleration of the vehicle, including filtering a speed signal as a first actual acceleration value and/or measuring a second actual acceleration value using an inertial measurement unit (IMU). During the speed control mode, the method includes calculating an acceleration delta value as a difference between the desired acceleration and the actual acceleration, and then using the acceleration delta value to detect the unintended acceleration during the speed control mode. A powertrain system for the motor vehicle, e.g., an electric vehicle, includes the controller and one or more torque generating devices coupled to road wheels of the vehicle.

An occupant protection auxiliary device includes: a seat mounted on a vehicle and on which an occupant is able to sit while facing a rear of the vehicle; a head detection sensor able to detect a relative position of a head of the occupant with respect to a headrest of the seat; and a control unit that determines whether to execute at least one of alerting the occupant, setting a speed limit, and changing a reclining angle based on a detection result of the head detection sensor.

A speed control device can execute continuous deceleration control and speed setting change control. In the continuous deceleration control, a vehicle is decelerated over a period of time that a first operation is effective. In the speed setting change control, upon reception of a second operation, one set speed is selected out of a plurality of set speeds that are set in advance, and a target speed of the vehicle is changed to the selected set speed. When a deceleration completion speed, which is a speed at completion of the continuous deceleration control, is equal to or above a slowest set speed among the set speeds, the speed control device is configured to set as a new target speed the set speed that is equal to or below the deceleration completion speed and that is closest to the deceleration completion speed.

A motor-driven trailer and towbar system includes a towbar having a vehicle side end configured to connect with the vehicle and a trailer side end configured to connect with a trailer coupling. The towbar is pivotably coupled to the trailer and configured to pivot along a pivoting path (P) between a lowered position (L) and a raised position (R) with respect to the trailer. At least one first sensor element is configured to detect a position of the towbar along the pivoting path (P). A control unit (TCU) is in communication with the at least one first sensor element and is configured to switch the system between an operating mode and a parking mode. The system is switched into the parking mode when the towbar is in a raised position (R) and is switched into the operating mode when the towbar is in a lowered position (L).

Systems and methods for a materials handling vehicle configured to navigate along a warehouse environment inventory transit surface, the vehicle including control architecture in communication with a drive mechanism, a materials handling mechanism, a speed zone sensing subsystem configured to provide an indication of whether the vehicle is in a speed zone, and a speed control processor configured to prompt the operator to reduce a vehicle speed of the vehicle to under a speed zone limit when the vehicle speed is approaching or in the speed zone, determine whether the vehicle speed is under the speed zone limit in the speed zone, and apply a speed cap to limit a maximum vehicle speed of the vehicle to a magnitude that is at or below the speed zone limit when the speed control processor has determined that the vehicle speed is under the speed zone limit in the speed zone.
