Abstract: A system comprises a computer including a processor and a memory. The memory storing instructions executable by the processor to cause the processor to determine a perception zone of interest, via a trained perception model, based on at least one of a vehicle parameter or planning data, wherein the vehicle parameter comprises at least one of a vehicle direction or a vehicle speed and the planning data comprises a route and trajectory to be traversed by the vehicle; determine a vehicle route and trajectory based on a subset of sensor data, wherein the subset of sensor data corresponds to the perception zone of interest; and operate the vehicle to traverse the vehicle route and trajectory.

Abstract: A method for controlling an active suspension system of a vehicle during a curb parking operation, so as to position a portion of the vehicle on a street and a portion of the vehicle on a curb. The method includes steps of activating a curb parking function of the active suspension system, acquiring inputs pertinent to the curb parking operation, and determining, by a controller, if a curb parking operation is feasible for the vehicle. If a curb parking operation is deemed infeasible, an operator of the vehicle is notified that the curb parking operation is infeasible. If a curb parking operation is deemed feasible, actuatable elements of the active suspension system are controlled to facilitate curb parking.

Abstract: In one example, a first vehicle traveling on a road is provided. The vehicle comprises a communication device coupled in the first vehicle configured to receive information transmitted by a second vehicle traveling on the road, the information identifying road surface conditions experience by the second vehicle; and a controller configured to adjust a vehicle operating parameter of the first vehicle in response to receiving the transmitted information from the second vehicle.

Abstract: An on-board diagnostic system of a vehicle comprises disabling diagnostic operation, such as a misfire monitor, based on road roughness. In one example, the disabling of the diagnostic operation is based on brake actuation and degradation of an anti-lock braking system.

Abstract: A traction control system adjusts powertrain output to reduce wheel slip, where a relationship between powertrain output and pedal actuation is adjusted in response to environmental conditions.

Abstract: In one example, a traction control system for a vehicle is shown. The system adjusts a relationship between powertrain output and pedal actuation in response to at least one of road grade and direction of wheel spin.

Abstract: A system for a vehicle, comprising of a traction control system for adjusting powertrain output to reduce wheel slip; an input device located in said vehicle configured to identify an environmental condition; and a powertrain controller to control powertrain output based on actuation of a pedal of the vehicle by the driver, where a relationship between powertrain output and pedal actuation is adjusted in response to said input device.

Abstract: In one example, A method for controlling a powertrain of a vehicle with wheels, the vehicle having a pedal actuated by a driver, is described. The method may include generating powertrain torque transmitted to the wheels in a first relation to actuation of the pedal by the driver during a first condition where said transmitted torque causes said wheels to slip relative to a surface; overriding said driver actuated powertrain torque to control said slip; and during a second condition after said first condition where said vehicle is moving less than a threshold, generating powertrain torque transmitted to the wheels in a second relation to actuation of the pedal by the driver, where for a given pedal position, less powertrain torque is transmitted with said second relation compared to said first relation.

Abstract: An on-board diagnostic system of a vehicle comprises a diagnostic component configured to detect a vehicle operating condition and to produce an error output when the vehicle operating condition is determined to be abnormal; and a rough road detector configured to determine an average level of roughness of a road surface based on signals from wheel speed sensors, to compare the roughness with a predetermined threshold, and to disable the error output of the diagnostic component or switch to an alternate calibration for the diagnostic component if the roughness level has exceeded the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: A method and system of controlling a vehicle 10 having a control system and a driveline comprises detecting driveline shudder and modifying the traction control system output in response to detecting driveline shudder to reduce the driveline shudder. The driveline shudder may be detected in various ways including determining the average driven wheel acceleration signal. Methods for controlling driveline shudder include changing the target slip and changing the engine output torque.
