Patent number: 11958485Abstract: A control system (1) for controlling operation of a host vehicle (2). The control system (1) includes a controller (4) having a processor (5) and a memory (6). The processor (5) is operable to receive a signal (S1) from a sensor (7) and to process the signal (S1) to identify a target vehicle (3). The processor (5) determines a vertical offset (?V) between the host vehicle (2) and the target vehicle (3). A target follow distance (D1) may be set based on the determined vertical offset (?V). Also provided is a vehicle (1) incorporating the control system (1); a related method of controlling a vehicle (2); and a non-transitory computer-readable medium.Type: GrantFiled: January 9, 2019Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Jaguar Land Rover LimitedInventors: Navid Shamshiri, Arun Raveendran, Robin Boyd

Patent number: 11780437Abstract: Apparatus for controlling movement of a vehicle, a system and vehicle comprising the apparatus, and a method for controlling the movement of a vehicle are disclosed. The apparatus comprises a controller configured to receive first signals from a receiving means in dependence on received transmitted signals from a remote control device indicating a requested motion of a vehicle and to receive second signals indicative of a value of traction of the vehicle. A maximum speed value for the vehicle is determined in dependence on the value of traction of the vehicle and/or on one or both of the detected pitch and roll angles of the vehicle. The controller provides an output signal for controlling speed of the vehicle based on the requested motion. The output signal is limited dependent upon the maximum speed value determined by the controller.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2022Date of Patent: October 10, 2023Assignee: JAGUAR LAND ROVER LIMITEDInventors: Jonathan Woodley, Roxana Ciovnicu, Andrew Fairgrieve, Navid Shamshiri

Publication number: 20210012119Abstract: A target object tracking system (1) includes a processor (5) for receiving image data (S1) captured by one or more sensor (7) disposed on the vehicle (2). The processor (5) is configured to analyse the image data to identify image components (IMC(n)) and to determine a movement vector (V(n)) of each image component (IMC(n)). The movement vectors each include a magnitude and a direction. At least one of the image components (IMC(n)) is classified as a target image component relating to the target object and at least one of the remaining image components (IMC(n)) as a non-target image component. The movement vector (V(n)) of the at least one target image component is modified in dependence on the movement vector of the or each non-target image component. The target object (3) is tracked in dependence on the modified movement vector of the at least one target image component. The disclosure also relates to a method and a non-transitory computer-readable medium.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2019Publication date: January 14, 2021Inventors: Navid SHAMSHIRI, Arun RAVEENDRAN, Robin BOYD

Patent number: 10527162Abstract: A motor vehicle control system that includes a first user-operable transmission selector for selecting a transmission operating mode and a user-operable gear selector, such as paddle input controls. The gear selector is operable in a first functional mode to select between a plurality of forward direction gear ratios. The gear selector is also operable in a second functional mode to select between a forward direction and reverse direction. This allows a user to use the gear selector to control travel in forward and reverse directions.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2014Date of Patent: January 7, 2020Assignee: Jaguar Land Rover LimitedInventors: Navid Shamshiri, Jonathan Woodley, Andrew Raftry, Rob Jerger, Roxana Ciovnicu
