Abstract: A vehicle control system may include a brake pedal position sensor, a braking torque module, an accelerator pedal position sensor, and a brake augmenter. The brake pedal position sensor is operably coupled to a brake pedal to determine a brake pedal position responsive to actuation of the brake pedal by an operator. The braking torque module is operably coupled to wheels of the vehicle to provide negative torque to the wheels based on the brake pedal position when an EBB system is in an operable state. The accelerator pedal position sensor is operably coupled to an accelerator pedal to determine accelerator pedal position for generation of positive torque to the wheels based on the accelerator pedal position when the EBB system is in the operable state.

Abstract: A method performed by a behavioral analyzing system for detection of an emergency vehicle approaching a vehicle from behind. The system derives a road configuration of a road along which the vehicle, based on ego-vehicle position obtained with support from localization sensors on-board the vehicle, is or was positioned. The system further determines unconventional driving criteria in view of the road configuration. The system determines based on surrounding vehicle detection data of a first and at least a second surrounding vehicle, obtained with support from surrounding detecting sensors on-board the vehicle, a respective first and at least a second surrounding vehicle trajectory along at least the road section. The system determines, when the first and the at least second surrounding vehicle trajectory fulfill at least a portion of the unconventional driving criteria, that an emergency vehicle is deemed to be approaching the vehicle from behind.

Abstract: A free space-verification system and a method performed by a free-space verification system and for supporting and/or providing confidence in that a perception system of an ADS of a vehicle detects presence of objects. The system obtains sensor data of vehicle surroundings; generates perception data of vehicle surroundings based on fusing the sensor data; determines that the perception system perceives at least a first zone in the vehicle surroundings, free from objects; separately evaluates obtained sensor data to encounter potential sensor-specific detections in an at least first extended zone at least partly encompassing the at least first zone; and determines when respective potential sensor-specific detections within the at least first extended zone for a predeterminable number of and/or combination of the surrounding detecting sensors, comply with at least a first free-space verifying criterium, that the at least first zone is verified as object-free.

Abstract: An object validation system for validating perceived surrounding objects to support safety-critical threat assessment governing emergency maneuvering of an ADS on-board a vehicle. The system stores in respective sensor/modality-specific data buffers, respective sensor/modality-specific sensor data obtained at least during a predeterminable time interval continuously and/or intermittently from one or more vehicle-mounted surrounding detecting sensors. The system determines with support from a perception module configured to generate perception data based on sensor data from one or more vehicle-mounted surrounding detecting sensors, object data of a perceived object valid for the time interval. The system evaluates one or more of the respective sensor/modality-specific data buffers, separately, in view of the object data.

Abstract: A gyroscope includes a substrate, a first structure, a second structure and a third structure elastically coupled to the substrate and movable along a first axis. The first and second structure are arranged at opposite sides of the third structure with respect to the first axis A driving system is configured to oscillate the first and second structure along the first axis in phase with one another and in phase opposition with the third structure. The first, second and third structure are provided with respective sets of sensing electrodes, configured to be displaced along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis in response to rotations of the substrate about a third axis perpendicular to the first axis and to the second axis.

Abstract: A novel gear well (200) for a crusher (1) may be characterized in that the recess (210) comprises a helical, non-uniform depth recess having a high point (212A) and a low point (212B). The gear well (200) may be further characterized in that rather than extending to a sharp corner transition (112) and then to an orthogonal sidewall (126), the floor (211) of the recess (210) may instead intersect or blend with the pinion clearance floor (222) adjacent the low point (212B). The helical, non-uniform depth recess (210) is preferably configured for improving the strength of a gear well (200) and/or configured for mitigating oil frothing within the gear well (200), without limitation.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and arrangement for monitoring and adapting the performance of a fusion system of an autonomous road vehicle. A drivable area is determined by combining a localization function and high density map data. Information on surrounding objects is determined, comprising determining the localization and classifying the surrounding objects, estimating their physical property states, and assigning them extension descriptions. Information on the drivable area and surrounding objects is condensed into observed areas, monitored by sensors of the environmental perception function with a predetermined degree of certainty, and prioritized objects, represented by classes, state estimates and extension descriptions.
