Abstract: A vehicle control system for a vehicle may include a brake assembly for applying negative torque to one or more wheels of the vehicle, a grill shutter assembly that directs airflow over the brake assembly when opened, and prevents airflow toward the brake assembly when closed, and a controller that calculates a target brake temperature, the controller being operably coupled to the grill shutter assembly to control positioning of the grill shutter assembly based on a comparison between a current brake temperature to the target brake temperature.

Abstract: A stowable pedal system for a motor vehicle is provided. The stowable pedal system for a motor vehicle includes a foot pedal configured to be actuated by a user in a deployed position and further actuatable to a stowed position and the deployed position, and a sensor assembly sensing a sensed position of the foot pedal. The system also includes a controller configured to process the sensed position from the sensor assembly and command a vehicle operation in the deployed position and further processing the sensed signal during a stow or deploy operation to determine a stowed or deployed status of the foot pedal and generating an output signal indicative of the stowed or deployed status.

Abstract: A braking system includes a first hydraulic brake assembly associated with a first front wheel, a second hydraulic brake assembly associated with a second front wheel, a front EBB module operably coupled to the first and second hydraulic brake assemblies for primary operation of the first and second hydraulic brake assemblies, a first EMB assembly associated with a first rear wheel, a second EMB assembly associated with a second rear wheel, a controller operably coupled to the first and second EMB assemblies for primary operation of the first and second EMB assemblies, a first power network and a second power network providing redundant power supply to the system, and a bus network operably coupling both the EBB module and the controller to the first and second EMB assemblies so the EBB module can provide control of backup operation of the first and second EMB assemblies if the controller is inoperable.

Abstract: In a method of inferring a vehicle state for control of a vehicle component based on the vehicle state inference, the vehicle may include a first electromechanical brake module operably coupled to first wheel-end brakes of a first wheel and a second electromechanical brake module operably coupled to second wheel-end brakes of a second wheel. The method may include receiving an indication of vehicle speed, receiving an indication of vehicle voltage supply to determine whether an event trigger transition is detected based on a change in the vehicle voltage supply, determining a communication state of at least one of the first and second electromechanical brake modules responsive to the event trigger transition being detected, where the communication state is one of a connected state or a disconnected state, and initiating a state inference operation based on the indication of vehicle speed and detection of the event trigger transition.
