Abstract: Aspects of the present invention relate to a system for a vehicle having at least one vehicle subsystem. The system includes a subsystem controller for controlling at least one vehicle subsystem in a plurality of subsystem control modes. A switching device is provided for switching between a manual response mode and an automatic response mode. One or more of a vehicle detection system (VDS) and a vehicle sensor system (VSS) is provided for generating a signal from which at least one terrain condition indicator is derived. A processor is configured to evaluate the at least one terrain condition indicator and for providing an output indicative of the subsystem control mode which is most appropriate. The system is operable to operate in the most appropriate subsystem control mode if a subsystem control mode has been selected which is not consistent with the most appropriate subsystem control mode.

Abstract: A fiber channel verification system provides a fiber optic network design platform that allows a user to create a graphical mock-up of a fiber optic network design, and performs fault analytics on the proposed design to identify potential faults or problems with the design. The verification system can guide the user through the process of specifying network components such as trunk cables, patch cables, fiber optic cassettes, connectors, or other such components suitable for a given networking application. The verification also allows the user to define connections between the selected components. During development or after the design is complete, the verification system can analyze each channel of network design and identify improper fiber connections, network component incompatibilities, incorrect polarities, excessive insertion or return losses, or other such problems. The verification system can also provide recommendations for eliminating discovered problems where appropriate.
