Abstract: An apparatus for controlling vehicle movement comprises processing means configured to receive first signals from a receiving means arranged to receive transmitted signals from a remote control device indicating a requested motion of the vehicle. From the first signals or an additional signal received from a sensing means, one or more distance values indicative of a distance from a point on the vehicle to an object is determined, and a maximum speed value for the vehicle is determine in dependence on the one or more distance values. The processing means provides an output signal for controlling speed of the vehicle based on the requested motion. The output signal is arranged to control the speed of the vehicle to be less than or equal to the maximum speed value.

Abstract: Apparatus (101) for controlling movement of a vehicle (202), a system (201) and vehicle (202) comprising the apparatus (101), and a method (500, 600) for controlling the movement of a vehicle (202) are disclosed. The apparatus (202) comprises processing means (102) configured to receive first signals from a receiving means (103) arranged to receive transmitted signals from a remote control device (204) indicating a requested motion of the vehicle (202). From the first signals or an additional signal received from a sensing means (104), one or more distance values indicative of a distance from a point on the vehicle (202) to an object is determined, and a maximum speed value for the vehicle (202) is determine in dependence on the one or more distance values. The processing means provides an output signal (106) for controlling speed of the vehicle (202) based on the requested motion.

Abstract: A method of determining a journey guidance policy for a journey between a first location and a second location. The method involves obtaining destination objectives comprising an efficiency objective indicative of a desired energy efficiency for the journey and a punctuality objective indicative of a desired time of arrival at the second location. A journey guidance policy is determined based on the destination objectives, where the journey guidance policy comprises recommended actions to be taken along the journey, and each recommended action comprises a route action and a corresponding speed action.

Abstract: An electronic device for determining a journey guidance policy for use in guidance on a journey from a first location to a second location. The electronic device is configured to obtain an end objective indicative of an objective to be achieved at the end of the journey at the second location. A plurality of probabilistic states for the journey are determined, where, each probabilistic state comprises: a state location, indicative of a geographical location; and a progress metric. Based at least in part on the plurality of probabilistic states and the end objective, the journey guidance policy is determined. The journey guidance policy comprises the plurality of probabilistic states and a recommended action corresponding to each of the plurality of probabilistic states, where each recommended action comprises a speed action and a navigation action.
