  • Patent number: 12001202
    Abstract: A vehicle control system comprises a portable terminal and a vehicle including a communication device and a drive device. When the drive device is in a non-actuation state and the communication device is in an inactivated state, the vehicle changes a state of the communication device from the inactivated state to an activated state when an activation condition is satisfied. The activation condition is satisfied when a user holding legitimate qualification exists within a communication possible range. When the drive device is in the non-actuation state, the vehicle changes the state of the communication device from the activated state to the inactivated state when an activation stop condition is satisfied. The activation stop condition is satisfied when an activation period in which the communication device is in the activated state reaches a predetermined period.

  • Patent number: 12002308
    Abstract: A driving analysis server may be configured to receive vehicle operation data from vehicle sensors, and may use the data to identify a potentially high-risk or unsafe driving event by the vehicle. The driving analysis server also may receive corresponding image data, video, or object proximity data from the vehicle or one or more other data sources, and may use the image, video, or proximity data to analyze the potentially high-risk or unsafe driving event. A driver score for the vehicle or driver may be calculated or adjusted based on the analysis of the data and the determination of one or more causes of the driving event.

  • Patent number: 12002310
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method of selecting an accident image by using speed profile analysis, which can sufficiently secure an available capacity of a storage medium, can reduce the amount of transmission data and a fee therefor, and can prevent a loss of unnecessary management expenses, by selecting an actual accident image by using speed profile analysis before and after the occurrence of an impact event and deleting, from the storage medium, an image having a grade determined to have a low accident possibility or changing a state of the image into an overwritable state or taking measures for preventing the transmission of the image to a cloud server.

  • Patent number: 12000111
    Abstract: An excavation vehicle capable of autonomously actuating an excavation tool or navigating an excavation vehicle to perform an excavation routine within an excavation site is described herein. Sensors mounted to the excavation vehicle and the excavation tool produce signals representative of a position and orientation of the corresponding joint relative on the excavation vehicle relative to the excavation site, a position and orientation of the excavation vehicle relative to the excavation site, and one or more features of the excavation site based on the position of the excavation vehicle within the excavation site. A set of solenoids are configured to couple to corresponding hydraulic valves of the excavation tool to actuate the valve. A controller produces actuating signals to control the joints of the excavation tool to autonomously perform the excavation routine based on the signals produced by the sensors.

  • Patent number: 11999367
    Abstract: Dynamic throttle pedal filtering of a vehicle is provided. An automated throttle filtering system may be included in the vehicle that may operate to filter throttle pedal input based on detection of a rough driving surface. The rough driving surface detection may be based on an evaluation of wheel speed signals or an indication of traction loss. The throttle pedal input may be filtered corresponding to rough driving surface magnitude values determined based on the wheel speed signals. For example, filtered torque demand values may be determined based on the rough driving surface magnitude values and included in a torque demand request communicated to the vehicle's powertrain system. The resulting torque output may modulate an undesirable oscillating torque demand that may be generated in relation to operation of the vehicle on a rough driving surface.
