Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zur Überwachung einer äußeren Abmessung eines Fahrzeugs, insbesondere einer Veränderung der äußeren Abmessung aufgrund einer äußeren Fahrzeugbeladung.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a vehicle comprising an engine (14), a transmission (20), a drive wheel (34), a first motor (MG) provided in a power transmission path between the engine (14) and the drive wheel (34), the power transmission path including the transmission (20), a clutch (K0) configured to disconnect the engine (14) from the first motor (MG), a mechanical oil pump (36) connected to a rotary member disposed on the power transmission path between the clutch (K0) and the drive wheel (34), the mechanical oil pump (36) configured to be driven by rotation of the rotary member to supply hydraulic oil to the clutch (K0) and the transmission (20), and an electronic control unit (100). When the first motor (MG) fails in an EV travel mode in which a clutch (K0) is disengaged, an amount of hydraulic oil that is supplied to the clutch (K0) is secured by reducing an amount of hydraulic oil that is leaked due to operation of the transmission (20).
Abstract:
Ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung zum Überführen eines ohne aktivierte Querführungsunterstützung fahrenden Fahrzeugs in einen Fahrzustand mit vermindertem Kollisionsfolgenrisiko bei einem Notfall des Fahrers, wobei die Geschwindigkeit des Fahrzeugs größer als eine Grenzgeschwindigkeit ist, führen die folgenden Schritte aus: - Erkennen einer Hands-Off-Situation des Fahrers in einer Hands-Off-Phase und Ausgeben einer Hands-Off-Warnung, - Durchführen einer Warnungseskalation in einer Eskalationsphase, falls keine Reaktion auf die Hands-Off-Warnung erfolgt, und - Reduzieren der Fahrzeuggeschwindigkeit in einer Eingriffsphase auf eine Geschwindigkeit kleiner als die Grenzgeschwindigkeit, falls keine Reaktion in der Eskalationsphase erfolgt, wobei während der Hands-Off-Phase, der Eskalationsphase und der Eingriffsphase ein rückführendes Moment auf die Lenkeinrichtung des Fahrzeugs aufgeschaltet wird, wenn ein Verlassen des Fahrzeugs von der aktuellen Fahrspur erkannt wird.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for assessing the risk of collision between a first vehicle approaching an intersection and at least one second vehicle driving through said intersection, said first vehicle being provided with a measurement means and a computing means. The method according to the invention is mainly characterised in that same includes the following steps: a step of determining the respective positions of said first vehicle and each second vehicle, a step of estimating the intentions of the driver of said first vehicle and of each second vehicle, a step of estimating the need for the first vehicle and for each second vehicle to stop in accordance with the results provided by the two preceding steps and the traffic rules applicable to said intersection, and a step of estimating the risk of collision between the first vehicle and each second vehicle.
Abstract:
A hybrid electric vehicle (100) comprising: a fuel powered engine (121) and electric motor means (123) operable to provide torque to drive the vehicle (100); energy storage means (150) operable to store electrical energy generated by generator means (123) for driving the electric motor means (123); and energy management means (140) for controlling the engine (121) and electric motor means (123) to provide torque to drive the vehicle and for controlling the generator means to generate electrical energy for storage in the energy storage means, wherein the vehicle comprises control means operable to monitor a value of one or more parameters associated with the vehicle, the control means being arranged automatically to identify a current driving style of a driver ranging from an economy-oriented driving style to a performance-oriented driving style responsive to the value of the one or more parameters, the energy management means being operable to control the engine, electric motor means and generator means responsive to the driving style of the user.
