  • Publication number: 20210229701
    Abstract: A method for controlling a vehicle (1) assembled from a set of modules (20). The vehicle (1) includes: at least one drive module (30); and at least one functional module (40). The at least one drive module (30) has a pair of wheels (32) and is configured to autonomously operate and drive the assembled vehicle (1) wherein the modules (30, 40, 70, 80) of the vehicle (1) are configured to communicate with the control device (100). The method includes: receiving (s101) data from the modules (30, 40, 70, 80) of the vehicle (1), wherein the data includes a value of at least one parameter associated with a current condition of the modules (30, 40, 70, 80); evaluating (s102) the received data by comparing the value of the at least one parameter with a predetermined value or value interval for the at least one parameter; and controlling (s103) the vehicle (1) based on the evaluation.

  • Publication number: 20210101613
    Abstract: A method is performed by a control device (100) of a first module (30, 40) of a vehicle (1), for electrically disconnecting the first module (30, 40) from a second module (30, 40) that is physically connected to the first module (30, 40), wherein the assembled vehicle (1) is configured to communicate with a control center (200). The method includes: identifying (s101) that the assembled vehicle (1) is ready to be disassembled; inactivating (s102) communication means (50) in the first module (30, 40) for establishing the electrical disconnection; and transmitting (s103) a verification of the electrical disconnection to the control center (200).

  • Publication number: 20210053633
    Abstract: A method, performed by a control device (100) of a first module (30, 40) of a vehicle (1), for electrically connecting the first module (30, 40) with a second module (30, 40) physically connected with the first module (30, 40), wherein the assembled vehicle (1) is configured to communicate with a control centre (200). The method includes the steps of: activating (s101) a communication device (50) in the first module (30, 40); transmitting (s102) information about the first module (30, 40) to the second module (30, 40), and receiving (s103) information about the second module (30, 40), via the communication device (50) for establishing an electrical connection; and transmitting (s104) a verification of the electrical connection towards the control centre (200).
