    Abstract: The present disclosure is related to a paving machine including a tractor, a screed assembly coupled to the tractor, and an auger coupled to the tractor and disposed between the tractor and the screed assembly. The paving machine includes an actuator coupled to the auger and the tractor. The actuator is configured to move the auger relative to a ground surface. The paving machine includes a sensor coupled to the tractor and configured to detect an obstruction on the ground surface. The paving machine includes a controller in communication with the actuator and the sensor. The controller is configured to receive a signal from the sensor assembly indicative of the obstruction. The controller is further configured to control the actuator to raise the auger.

    Abstract: In a collision surface determination computing section 27, a collision prediction ECU 2 selects a surface of an own vehicle where an opponent vehicle collides when the own vehicle and opponent vehicle collide with each other. A vehicle track intersection computing section 29 calculates an intersection between the own vehicle and the opponent vehicle. According to the intersection between the own vehicle and opponent vehicle and respective times when the own vehicle and opponent vehicle reach the intersection, a collision determining section 30 determines whether the own vehicle and opponent vehicle collide with each other or not. When it is determined that the own vehicle and opponent vehicle collide with each other, a collision position computing section 32 calculates a collision position of the own vehicle where the opponent vehicle collides according to the collision surface selected in the collision surface determination computing section 27.

    Abstract: An intelligent system and method detects and informs operators of unstable vehicle conditions. An accelerometer and gyro based micro-controller system dynamically computing the center of mass, speeds, positions, angles, stability factors, Velocity-Road Roughness Index, Dynamic Stability Function, and other parameters critical in determining the dynamics of vehicle motion. The apparatus may be integrated into an overall vehicle network and may incorporate a method for detecting and warning vehicle operators of unstable driving conditions which may include rollover, high velocity turns, sideslope conditions, rough roads, slip, and other dynamic events.

    Abstract: An attitude angle estimator and method of estimating attitude angle of a vehicle having an angular attitude rate sensor sensing angular attitude rate of a vehicle, a vertical accelerometer sensing vertical acceleration, and a lateral accelerometer sensing lateral acceleration. An attitude angle estimate is produced and is updated as a function of the sensed angular attitude rate. An acceleration-based attitude angle is determined as a function of the sensed accelerations, and a blending coefficient is provided. A current vehicle attitude angle estimate is generated as a function of the updated attitude angle estimate, the acceleration-based attitude angle, and the blending coefficient.

    Abstract: A vehicle turn-over determination apparatus includes a turn-over sensor, a memory, a determination processor, and a road-surface detector. The turn-over sensor detects a value of a turn-over angle or a turn-over velocity of a vehicle. The determination processor performs the determination of the turn-over of the vehicle on the basis of the value detected by the turn-over sensor and the determination-threshold information held in the memory. The road-surface detector detects a road surface that is present in a traveling direction of the vehicle. The determination processor varies the determination-threshold information acquired from the memory in accordance with an inclination of the road surface detected by the road-surface detector, and thereby generates adjusted-threshold information adjusted in accordance with the inclination of the road surface. The determination processor compares the adjusted-threshold information and the detected value with each other, and thereby perform the determination of the turn-over of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A method for activating safety systems of a motor vehicle, the method including the steps of: monitoring signals from at least one vehicle sensor; analysing the signals from the at least one sensor to determine that the vehicle appears to be involved in a particular one of a plurality of pre-defined “run off the road” events: confirming the determination by analysing signals from at least one different vehicle sensor, performing a different analysis on the signals from the at least one sensor, or analysing signals from the at least one sensor over a predetermined period of time; where a detection is confirmed, estimating the severity of the event; and based on a confirmed determination that the vehicle is involved in a particular event, and the estimated severity of the event, selecting one or more vehicle safety systems to be activated to protect an occupant of the vehicle.

    Abstract: A safing decision is executed using a first integrator for integrating acceleration sensor output values for a first integration interval to obtain a first arithmetic operation value, a second integrator for cumulative integration of the acceleration sensor output values using it as a trigger that the first arithmetic operation value exceeds a first predetermined value to obtain a second arithmetic operation value, a third integrator for integrating the second arithmetic operation value for a third integration interval to obtain a third arithmetic operation value as a second order integration value of the output values of the acceleration sensors, and a comparator for comparing a map derivation value derived by substituting the third arithmetic operation value into a threshold value map and the first arithmetic operation value with each other. The airbag is started up when the main decision and the safing decision are carried out as an on decision.
