Abstract: A vehicle driver assistant with an electronic control device checks the clearance possibility for a vehicle below an upper obstruction as a function of the overall vehicle height, in particular in the case of a roof load. The electronic control device can be connected to an input unit, which is preferably independent of the motor vehicle. This input unit allows at least one overall vehicle height to be entered manually, in particular, for the roof load.

Abstract: A monitoring device for automatically monitoring the ability of an aircraft to follow a flight trajectory with at least one turn includes a series of elements that estimate the ability of the aircraft to follow at least one turn of the flight trajectory. For example, a turn radius and limit speed for each of the upcoming turns in a flight plan (or a partial portion of the upcoming turns) are analyzed by comparing to a current speed of the aircraft to determine if there will be any risk of excursion outside the flight plan path, such that warnings can be emitted to a crew of the aircraft to take corrective action before the turns are performed. Consequently, required navigational performance maneuvers can be assured before the beginning of the turns in the flight plan.

Abstract: A method of determining a fill current value of at least one frictionally engaging shift element of an automatic transmission. The automatic transmission includes a hydrodynamic converter at which a speed ratio arises and an output shaft. In a control sequence, with a stationary output shaft, the speed ratio is influenced by changing a control current, and the fill current value is determined from the progression of the speed ratio arising during the control sequence, in conjunction with the progression of the control current.

Abstract: A vehicle includes a torque generating device, a transmission, and a controller. The transmission has one or more clutches. The controller executes a method, which includes measuring an amount of slip across an identified offgoing clutches and determining whether the offgoing clutches have slipped prior to a modeled clutch torque capacity reaching zero. A status is assigned indicating that the offgoing clutches are released if the offgoing clutch has slipped prior to the modeled clutch capacity reaching zero. The controller induces slip across the identified offgoing clutches to a calibrated low, non-zero level after recording the value, including by enforcing the low, non-zero slip value using one or more acceleration profiles.

Abstract: A control device that controls a drive device for a power transfer path, the control device configured with a loss torque estimation section that estimates the value of loss torque due to drag resistance of a first engagement device, with the first engagement device in a disengaged state. A specific-slip hydraulic pressure control section sets a hydraulic pressure to be supplied to a second engagement device such that a transfer torque capacity of the second engagement device becomes a capacity corresponding to estimated input torque, which is determined as a difference between output torque of the rotary electric machine and the estimated loss torque. This is performed in the event that specific slip control, in which the second engagement device is controlled to a slip state from a state with the first engagement device in the disengaged state and with the second engagement device in a completely engaged state, is executed.
