  • Publication number: 20220212677
    Abstract: A method for vehicle driver habituation to slippery road condition. The method includes detecting a braking parameter indicative of driver invoked vehicle braking demand and/or one or more lateral acceleration parameters indicative of driver invoked vehicle lateral acceleration demand. The method further includes controlling the vehicle braking system to trigger vehicle skidding and/or reduced braking performance for simulating driving on slippery road behaviour when said braking parameter, said lateral acceleration parameter or a combination of said braking parameter and said lateral acceleration parameter: exceeds a threshold value, or is estimated would have resulted in vehicle skidding and/or reduced braking performance if the vehicle would have been driving with a low traction tire grip corresponding to a slippery road condition.

  • Publication number: 20220194427
    Abstract: A vehicle driving challenge system includes a first mobile module in a first vehicle and operated by a first driver and a second mobile module included in a second vehicle and operated by a second driver. A request includes planned driving route information and location of the first mobile module. A computer server system checks if the second driver has requested or indicated willingness to participate in a driving challenge, whether the second mobile module has a planned driving route at least partly in common with the planned driving route of the first mobile module, and determines, a common driving challenge route associated with the first and second mobile modules. Based on the planned driving route of the first mobile module, a real-time concurrent vehicle driving challenge between the first and second drivers is initiated along the common driving challenge route.
