Abstract: A method of controlling a vehicle includes the steps of identifying a lead vehicle with at least one sensor on the vehicle, tracking the lead vehicle with the at least one sensor, and maintaining the vehicle at a predetermined following position from the lead vehicle based on a position of the lead vehicle and a terrain adjacent at least one of the vehicle or the lead vehicle.

Abstract: A vehicle air spring suspension system includes multiple air springs. Each air spring has at least one volume. A valve is fluidly arranged between at least two volumes of the at least one volume of the air springs. The valve is movable between open and closed positions in response to an input. The at least two volumes are fluidly coupled with the valve in the open position. The at least two volumes are fluidly decoupled with the valve in the closed position. At least one vehicle sensor is configured to detect a vehicle attitude condition. A controller is in communication with the valve and the at least one vehicle sensor. The controller is configured to provide the input and selectively adjust the air springs to change the vehicle attitude by raising and/or lowering at least one vehicle wheel relative to a vehicle chassis in response to the input.

Abstract: A braking control module includes a housing with at least one fluid line disposed within the housing. First and second inlet ports are each in communication with the fluid line or electronic input. Additionally, a linear actuator is in fluidic communication with the fluid line for controlling pressure in the at least one fluid line. A processor controls operation of the linear actuator. The braking control module further includes at least one outlet port in fluidic communication with the fluid line and connectable to a brake. The braking system also includes a tandem, single or electronic master cylinder having a first bore defining a first volume and an optional second bore defining a second volume. First and second pistons are connectable to a brake pedal and in connection with the first inlet port and the second inlet port, respectively, or in electronic communication with the EBS unit.

Abstract: A method of controlling a brake system comprises monitoring vehicle information with an electronic control unit. An algorithm is performed to detect the presence of a mini-spare tire assembly. A yaw offset value is pre-determined by the electronic control unit when a mini-spare tire assembly is detected at one of the steerable tire assembly locations. The yaw offset is then applied upon detection of a brake event.
