Abstract: A method and an apparatus are described for adaptive cruise control in a road vehicle, as well as a road vehicle including such an apparatus. One of four control regions is determined and a set of control parameters chosen in dependence of the detected control region. An acceleration command is provided, based on the chosen set of control parameters, using a sliding surface and a control law that ensures convergence to the sliding surface.

Abstract: A method and a following space management unit of a host vehicle for managing a following space are disclosed. The following space management unit obtains a set of parameters including one or more of a difference parameter, indicating a difference between a velocity of the host vehicle and a speed limit for the host vehicle at a current location, and a road marking parameter, indicating whether a surrounding vehicle is allowed to enter the current lane. The following space management unit determines the following space based on the set of parameters.

Abstract: A method of controlling the production of filler-containing paper. Filler and retention agent are delivered to a paper manufacturing system in a process of paper manufacture. The amount of filler in the paper is measured, as is also the filler concentration or the total concentration in the white water or the stock. Filler is delivered such that the system will be buffered with filler to a generally pre-determined concentration level. The continual addition of retention agent is based exclusively on the amount of filler in the paper measured at that moment in time. When the measured amount of filler present is lower than a desired level, the addition is increased. When the measured amount of filler present is higher than a desired level, the addition is reduced. The continual addition of filler is based, exclusively on the concentration level of filler measured in the white water or the stock.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling the production of filler-containing paper. Filler and retention agent are both delivered to the paper manufacturing system in such a process of paper manufacture. The amount of filler in the paper is also measured, as is also the filler concentration or the total concentration in the white water or the stock. Filler is delivered in a quantity such that the system will be buffered with filler to a generally pre-determined concentration level (control value), which is followed via measuring processes.
