  • Publication number: 20240294192
    Abstract: A vehicle control system is for controlling a vehicle, in particular a utility vehicle, in an autonomous operating mode. The vehicle control system includes a virtual driver configured to carry out trajectory planning to generate a trajectory. The vehicle control system is configured to control the vehicle using the trajectory and includes an interface unit, which is configured to obtain the trajectory from the virtual driver and to actuate at least one vehicle actuator of the vehicle control system to control the vehicle using the trajectory, wherein the interface unit functionally connects the virtual driver and the at least one vehicle actuator. A method is for controlling a vehicle, a use of the vehicle control system and a vehicle having a vehicle control system.

  • Patent number: 11325575
    Abstract: A brake valve for a compressed air brake system of a utility vehicle includes a compressed air input configured to connect to a system pressure, a compressed air output configured to connect a brake control line, and at least one sensor configured to determine a brake valve actuation travel of an actuating element of the brake valve with a working interconnection to the brake pedal. The brake valve further includes a characteristic curve memory storing two stored characteristic curves and/or dependences and at least one determination device. The brake valve is configured to output at least two useful sensor signals, a first of which represents a brake valve output pressure and a second of which represents a percentage actuation position of the actuating element. The at least one sensor is configured to generate an actuating signal depending on the brake valve actuation travel of the actuating element.
