Abstract: A method, performed by a control device (100) of a first module (30, 40) of a vehicle (1), for electrically connecting the first module (30, 40) with a second module (30, 40) physically connected with the first module (30, 40), wherein the assembled vehicle (1) is configured to communicate with a control centre (200). The method includes the steps of: activating (s101) a communication device (50) in the first module (30, 40); transmitting (s102) information about the first module (30, 40) to the second module (30, 40), and receiving (s103) information about the second module (30, 40), via the communication device (50) for establishing an electrical connection; and transmitting (s104) a verification of the electrical connection towards the control centre (200).

Abstract: The invention relates to a drive module for a vehicle, wherein the drive module is adapted to be releasably connected to a functional module for forming an assembled vehicle, the drive module comprising: at least a pair of wheels; at least one propulsion unit connected to the pair of wheels; at least one energy storage unit for providing the propulsion unit with energy; a control device configured to operate the drive module as an independently driven unit; and at least two interfaces for releasable connection with a functional module, each interface being arranged on different sides of the drive module. The invention also relates to a vehicle assembled from a set of modules.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method performed by a first control device for controlling assembly of a vehicle from a set of modules, the set of modules comprising: at least one drive module and at least one functional module, wherein the at least one drive module comprises a pair of wheels and is configured to be autonomously operated, and wherein each module in the set of modules comprises at least one interface releasably connectable to a corresponding interface on the other module, the method comprising: commanding a second control device of the at least one drive module to physically connect the at least one drive module with the at least one functional module to assemble a vehicle; and receiving, from at least one of the modules of the assembled vehicle, a verification of the connection between the modules.

Abstract: Method and control unit in a vehicle for avoiding an accident at an unattended crosswalk. The method comprises: detecting an approaching crosswalk; detecting a Vulnerable Road User (VRU) in the vicinity of the crosswalk; determining that the detected VRU is going to walk across the road; determining a distance between the vehicle and the crosswalk; estimating a velocity of the VRU; determining a deceleration capacity of the vehicle, based on deceleration sensitivity of passengers on the vehicle, weight of the vehicle, and/or estimated friction between vehicle tires and the road; and determining a recommended action to be made by the vehicle.
