Braking anticipation ability determining system for a vehicle comprising: an evaluation means to evaluate and grade a driver's braking anticipation ability; and a retarder sensing means for sensing a retarder status value representing the status of the retarder as being in an active or an inactive state; wherein if said retarder status value is in its active state and if the driver gives gas, then feedback is given to the driver to release the retarder.

A method for adaptive vehicle cruise control incorporating a Stop-&-Go function, whereby the vehicle is caused to match the speed of a target (9, 10), e.g. a vehicle ahead, and accordingly to stop and, after the standstill, to resume matching the speed of the target, and whereby a target region ahead of the vehicle is monitored for targets by at least two sensors (2, 3, 4). The method is distinguished particularly by the steps of - monitoring the target region by at least two short-distance sensors (2, 3, 4) which each deliver target measurement data in the form of distance, direction and relative speed; - by sensor fusion, carrying out target association using the uncertainty in the sensors' target measurement data indications, and thereby determining whether a target (9, 10) monitored by one sensor (2, 4) lies within an error window (8) based on said uncertainty of a target (9, 10) from the other sensor (2, 4), and - if such is the case, classifying the target as a relevant monitored target. The invention relates also to a device, a computer programme, a computer programme product, a computer and a vehicle.

The present invention relates to a slope feedback device for determining and presenting feedback to a driver of a vehicle, comprising a slope determining unit adapted to determine a slope profile of a slope passed by the vehicle, based upon output signals from a slope profile sensing means and driving sensing means to continuously sense and calculate a driver's driving activity during passage of a slope. The driving sensing means in addition continuously calculates a driving resistance force F res and a specific driving resistance point F res ≤o is determined, where the driving resistance force F res is less or equal to zero. The slope determining unit is further adapted to calculate for each F res ≤o a slope balance point P bal defined as the theoretical point where the gas should be released in order to balance consumed energy, by the vehicle, before said F res≤o and gained energy, by the vehicle, after said point, and to determine an optimal driving activity in dependence of P bal . The device further comprises a driving ability calculating means adapted to match the driving activity to the determined slope profile, and to generate a grade in dependence of how well the driving activity coincides with the optimal driving activity. The grade is further presented to the driver of the vehicle.

The present invention relates to a gear feedback system for use in a vehicle, comprising a gear recommendation means adapted to determine an optimal gear value in dependence of various influencing parameters, e.g. weight of the vehicle, velocity, rotational speed, road topography, and based upon the optimal gear value to recommend an optimal gear of the vehicle. The system further comprises a gear sensing means for sensing a currently used gear and to determine a used gear value in dependence thereto, an evaluation means to analyse and grade the currently used gear, by comparing the currently used gear value with the optimal gear value and based upon the comparison generate a grade. The system further comprises a presentation means to present the grade to the driver of the vehicle, and said grade depends on the time using a non-optimal gear, such that the grade is decreased if the non-optimal gear is used longer than a dynamic time duration, and said grade depends on the time using an optimal gear, such that the grade is increased if the optimal gear is used longer than a dynamic time duration.
