Abstract: A hydraulic excavator includes a base body portion, a movable portion, a hydraulic cylinder, a position sensor, a rotary encoder, and a control unit. The rotary encoder includes a light emitting unit, a light receiving unit, and a disk unit having a plurality of transmission portions. The control unit measures the stroke length of the hydraulic cylinder by correcting deviation of the stroke length, which is measured by the position sensor, based on the pulse signal output from the rotary encoder. In this way, there can be obtained a hydraulic excavator capable of precisely measuring a stroke length of a hydraulic cylinder driving a work implement, as well as a method for measuring the stroke of the hydraulic cylinder of the hydraulic excavator.

Abstract: A braking control system for a vehicle includes at least one sensor having a field of view exterior of the vehicle. A control, after actuation of the vehicle brake system, determines the speed of the vehicle and relative speed of the vehicle to another vehicle or object, and, responsive to the speed of the vehicle and the relative speed, the control controls the vehicle brake system. Responsive to a determination that at least one of (i) a collision has occurred, (ii) the vehicle speed is greater than a threshold amount and (iii) the relative speed is greater than a threshold amount, the system determines if the vehicle driver is impaired, and, responsive to a determination that the driver is impaired, the control controls braking of the subject vehicle, and responsive to a determination that the driver is not impaired, the control allows the driver to override the system.

Abstract: A vehicle control device is provided that performs control to suppress a dangerous situation for a vehicle without causing a driver to experience discomfort when an accelerator is erroneously operated, by setting an abnormality judgment threshold for the accelerator operation to a value based on a degree of risk to the vehicle. An accelerator position judgment threshold is set to be lower when risk in the periphery of the vehicle is higher, intermediate when the risk is intermediate, and higher when the risk is lower. When the risk is higher, an abnormality judgment is made upon the accelerator being lightly stepped on, and control is performed to suppress a dangerous situation. As the risk changes to intermediate and lower, the abnormality judgment is made at a greater accelerator position.
