Abstract: A control arrangement and a method for deactivating an adaptive cruise control system. The method comprises, in response to a determination of risk of loss of functionality of the adaptive cruise control system while the host vehicle is decelerated by the adaptive cruise control system, determining whether the host vehicle may be braked by the service brake system; and, if so, activating a first failure mode during which the adaptive cruise control system is maintained active to decelerate the host vehicle until a deceleration demand is below a predetermined threshold. The method further comprises, when the deceleration demand is below the predetermined threshold, either ramping down the braking demanded by the adaptive cruise control system over a predetermined period of time and thereafter deactivating the adaptive cruise control system, or directly deactivating the adaptive cruise control system.

Abstract: A control arrangement and a method for controlling travelling speed of a vehicle using a vehicle speed control system. The method comprises a step of, when the vehicle speed control system is expected to apply braking power using a service brake system and at least one of the one or more auxiliary brake systems of the vehicle while the vehicle travels an upcoming road section, predicting a future temperature profile for the service brake system based on a predetermined temperature model for the service brake system. The method further comprises a step of, when the predicted temperature profile demonstrates that the service brake system will reach a temperature above an upper temperature threshold, and optionally a first predefined criterion and/or a second predefined criterion is/are fulfilled, controlling the service brake system to reduce the vehicle speed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method performed by a control arrangement for controlling braking of a vehicle comprising: a service brake system and at least one auxiliary brake system for applying a brake torque to at least driven wheels of the vehicle, driver maneuverable means for requesting brake torque from the service brake system, the method comprising, when a brake torque is requested by the driver, and when a temperature of a friction brake of the service brake system increases, or is expected to increase: reducing brake torque applied by the service brake system, and increasing brake torque applied by the at least one auxiliary brake system such that the total resulting brake torque corresponds to the driver requested brake torque. The invention also relates to a control arrangement, a computer program, a computer-readable medium and a vehicle comprising a control arrangement.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for providing assistance regarding a vehicle overtaking a preceding vehicle travelling ahead of the vehicle. In particular the disclosure relates to providing a recommendation regarding whether to overtake the preceding vehicle. According to a first aspect, the disclosure relates to a method for providing assistance regarding a vehicle overtaking a preceding vehicle travelling ahead of the vehicle. The method comprises obtaining information indicative of vehicle properties of the preceding vehicle that affects driving performance of the preceding vehicle in an upcoming road segment, and providing, based on the obtained information, a recommendation regarding whether to overtake the preceding vehicle. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding control arrangement and computer program, and to a vehicle comprising the control arrangement.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to determining a following distance, between a vehicle and a vehicle travelling ahead. According to a first aspect, the disclosure relates to a method that comprises obtaining an amount of energy required to propel the vehicle along the upcoming road as a function of following distance to the vehicle travelling ahead and predicting, based on brake actuation performed by the vehicle during a previous time period, one or more driving disadvantages that will be caused by braking along an upcoming road as a function of the following distance. The method further comprises determining the following distance, based on the obtained amount and on the predicted driving disadvantages caused by braking along the upcoming road. The disclosure also relates to a corresponding control arrangement and computer program, and to a vehicle comprising the control arrangement.

Abstract: A control device and a method for controlling a vehicle is provided. The vehicle comprises an energy storage device, an electric motor, and at least one service brake configured to brake a vehicle wheel. The method comprises, in case it is predicted that the energy storage device will have an insufficient capacity for a desired regenerative braking power during an upcoming braking event, applying a braking force by activating the service brake. The service brake is activated either simultaneously with application of a propulsion force by the electric motor, or in a plurality of consecutive brake phases during which a propulsion by the electric motor is temporarily interrupted, the brake phases separated by a vehicle acceleration phase during which a propulsion force is applied by the electric motor.
