    摘要: According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an interlock component for a software system. The interlock component may comprise an input for receiving an interaction request for a first system component and system data. The interlock component may comprise a processor arranged to assess the interaction request and the system data relative to predefined system logic rules to determine if the interaction request satisfies the system logic rules. The interlock component may comprise an output arranged to output the interaction request to the first system component in the event that the system logic rules are satisfied.

    摘要: A method for controlling a driving condition component of a vehicle includes disabling automatic operation of the driving condition component based on enabling an autonomous operating mode of the vehicle. The method also includes determining, while the vehicle is operating in the autonomous mode, a current condition satisfies an unsafe driving condition for a manual operating mode of the vehicle. The method further includes enabling the driving condition component to mitigate based on predicting a human occupant will enable the manual operating mode during a time period associated with the current condition, the driving condition component being enabled prior to the human occupant switching from the autonomous operating mode to the manual operating mode.

    摘要: Systems and methods for providing load shedding in a vehicle are provided. Particularly, the vehicle may be an electric vehicle and the loads that are shed may be HVAC or refrigeration loads. The load shedding methods and systems may include a predictive model of energy consumption, determining a predicted energy consumption and comparing it to a stored energy at the vehicle. If the predicted energy consumption exceeds the stored energy, load shedding operations may be performed at a transport climate control system, such as adjusting a set point, adjusting an operating mode of the transport climate control system, increasing a dead band of a compressor of the transport climate control system, utilizing free cooling such as ambient air to provide climate control in the vehicle, or increasing cooling provided by the transport climate control system to an energy storage of the vehicle.

    摘要: An agricultural assistance system including a driver assistance system for controlling one or both of a prime mover and an attachment of an agricultural combination is disclosed. The agricultural assistance system generates control parameters for one or both of the prime mover and the attachment, has a rule interpreter that generates the control parameters by processing rules from sets of rules, and has a rule generator that provides a plurality of sets of rules. The agricultural assistance system executes the rule interpreter as needed on control hardware that is part of one or both of the prime mover or the attachment, and on control hardware that is disposed remote from the combination. The agricultural assistance system has a coordination module for this which, independent of the site at which the rule interpreter is run, coordinates the rule interpreter with the control generator and the driver assistance system.
