Abstract:
A device synchronizes primary speed of a primary shaft receiving an electrical torque from an electric machine with a secondary speed lower than the primary speed of a secondary transmission shaft. The primary shaft and secondary shaft are decoupled. The primary shaft has a kinetic energy associated with the primary speed. The device provides electrical braking torque to the primary shaft until the primary speed is substantially equal to the secondary speed. The device also at least partially recovers, in the form of electrical energy, the kinetic energy lost by the primary shaft and transmits the electrical energy to an energy storage device.

Abstract:
A method for managing longitudinal speed of an autonomous vehicle travelling on a traffic lane including stop signage located in front of the autonomous vehicle. The autonomous vehicle is equipped with a first detector to detect a first range and a second detector to detect a second range. The first range is greater than the second range. The method includes detecting the stop signage by the first detector and implementing a first deceleration logic and detecting the stop signage by the second detector and implementing a second deceleration logic. The first and second deceleration logic implement jerks, the absolute value of which is less than a first threshold. The second deceleration logic controls the stopping of the autonomous vehicle with an accuracy of around one centimeter relative to the stop signage.
Abstract:
An anticipating module for a device for controlling, in real time, the path of a motor vehicle includes a sub-module for computing a turning command for compensating for the curvature of a bend in the lane of the vehicle and a variable-gain device that is connected to an output of the computing sub-module. The gain of the variable-gain device is connected to a controller to adjust the gain so as to decrease the lateral offset between the centre of gravity of the vehicle and the centre of the lane of the vehicle depending on the result of the comparison of components of a vector of current measurements of state variables of the device to one another and to a detection threshold, the output of the variable-gain device being the steering command for compensating for the curvature of the bend.
