  • Method for providing vehicle steering support by differential wheel braking, a system, a vehicle, a computer program and a computer-readable medium
    Patent number: 11554762
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing vehicle steering support by differential wheel braking, the vehicle comprising: at least two axles with at least two wheels per axle; a braking system allowing individual braking of the wheels; and means for determining and/or estimating an operator input torque applied on a steering wheel, wherein the vehicle is configured with a positive scrub radius; the method comprising the steps of: identifying a need for steering support; determining a braking value required for achieving the needed steering support based on an integration of a function of at least one input value (Tinput) related to a determined or estimated operator input torque; and controlling the braking system based on the determined braking value.

  • System for reducing a blind spot for a vehicle
    Patent number: 11541810
    Abstract: Method and control unit for reducing a blind spot created by a field of view adjustment of a vehicle comprised presentational device intended to display objects outside a driver's direct field of vision. The method comprises: detecting the blind spot of the presentational device, based on signals received from at least one first sensor associated with the presentational device; adjusting at least one second sensor, not associated with the presentational device, in order to cover at least a part of the detected blind spot; and outputting information captured by the adjusted at least one second sensor.

  • Method and control unit for rear view
    Patent number: 11407358
    Abstract: Method and control unit in a vehicle are provided for detecting and tracking an object. The method comprises detecting the object, situated outside a view of a device intended to display objects outside a driver's direct field of vision, by a sensor; and tracking the detected object by adjusting the sensor and outputting a representation of the detected object by said device.
