    Abstract: Apparatus for controlling movement of a vehicle, a system and vehicle comprising the apparatus, and a method for controlling the movement of a vehicle are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a controller configured to receive first signals from a receiving means in dependence on received transmitted signals from a remote control device indicating a requested motion of a vehicle and to receive second signals indicative of a value of traction of the vehicle. A maximum speed value for the vehicle is determined in dependence on the value of traction of the vehicle and/or on one or both of the detected pitch and roll angles of the vehicle. The controller provides an output signal for controlling speed of the vehicle based on the requested motion. The output signal is limited dependent upon the maximum speed value determined by the controller.

    Abstract: A vehicle comprises a system for aiding driver control of the vehicle when the vehicle is wading in a body of water, the system comprising a measurement apparatus for determining a measured depth of water in which the vehicle is wading. The measurement apparatus is positioned and arranged relative to the vehicle such that the measured depth is indicative of the depth of water in a first measurement region relative to the actual vehicle. The processor is coupled to the measurement apparatus and is configured to calculate an estimated water depth in dependence upon the measured depth and in dependence upon the vehicle speed.

    Abstract: An apparatus for controlling movement of a vehicle includes processing means configured to: receive first signals from a receiving means in dependence on received transmitted signals from a remote control device indicating a requested motion of a vehicle; receive one or more second signals indicative of a diagnostic device being in operative communication with the vehicle; and provide an output signal for controlling movement of the vehicle in dependence on the requested motion. The output signal is inhibited if: a diagnostic device is in operative communication with the vehicle and a maintenance mode has not been activated, as determined from the first signals or from one or more third signals; or if a door or the bonnet is open, unless a diagnostic device is in operative communication with the vehicle; or if the vehicle weight is not being borne by the wheels unless a diagnostic device is in operative communication with the vehicle.

    Abstract: A central tire inflation system for a vehicle having a plurality of inflation control valves for controlling inflation of a respective tire, a first gas source for supplying pressurized gas to the inflation control valves, a first gas inlet valve for controlling the supply of gas from the first gas source to a fluid gallery, and a plurality of gallery outlet valves each arranged to control gas flow between the fluid gallery and a respective tire supply line that supplies gas from the fluid gallery to the inflation control valve. The gallery has two gallery pressure sensors for measuring a pressure of gas in the gallery. An electronic controller performs a gallery pressure sensor check that involves, with the gallery outlet valves and first gas inlet valve closed, causing the gallery exhaust valve to open and monitoring the pressure in the gallery according to each of the gallery pressure sensors.

    Abstract: A controller for a motor vehicle central tire inflation system. The controller causes the system to operate in a selected one of a plurality of operating modes that include a leakage assist mode in which the controller causes the system to inflate the tires to predetermined leakage assist pressure value. The controller is configured automatically to cause the system to assume the leakage assist mode in dependence at least in part on a first pressure signal indicative of the pressure of one or more tires, wherein when the system determines that a tire is suffering leakage the system is configured to establish a gas flow path between the tire and a remote pressure sensor and to measure a pressure of gas in the tire by means of the remote pressure sensor by reference to a second pressure signal indicative of a pressure measured by the remote pressure sensor.
