  • Publication number: 20240017706
    Abstract: A controller can be configured to receive an indication of a measured speed of a vehicle, and determine whether a gradient on which the vehicle is located is below a threshold gradient. The controller can also be configured to provide an output signal to cause a brake of the vehicle to be automatically applied to hold the vehicle stationary, based at least in part on: the received indication of the measured speed of the vehicle being below a threshold speed; and the determination that the gradient is below the threshold gradient.

  • Patent number: 11745708
    Abstract: A controller for a vehicle, a system, a vehicle, a method, a computer program and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium are disclosed. The controller is configured to receive an indication of a measured speed of the vehicle, and determine whether a gradient on which the vehicle is located is below a threshold gradient. The controller is also configured to provide an output signal to cause a brake of the vehicle to be automatically applied to hold the vehicle stationary, in dependence on: the received indication of the measured speed of the vehicle being below a threshold speed; and the determination that the gradient is below the threshold gradient.

  • Publication number: 20210086625
    Abstract: A controller (201) for a vehicle (100), a system (200), a vehicle (100), a method (600), a computer program (204) and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium (203) are disclosed. The controller (201) comprises means to receive an indication of a user selected direction of travel and an indication of the direction of motion of the vehicle (100). The controller (201) is configured to determine a proposed torque value in dependence on the direction of motion being an opposite direction to the selected direction of travel. The controller (201) also includes means to provide an output signal (403) configured to cause a motor (102) to apply torque, in dependence on the proposed torque value, to oppose motion in the opposite direction.
