  • Publication number: 20260008483
    Abstract: A computer system has processing circuitry to manage a vehicle having an Automated Driving System (ADS). The ADS is configured to control the motion of the vehicle when the vehicle is configured in an autonomous mode. The processing circuitry is configured to estimate State of Health (SoH) of one or more control systems of the vehicle. The one or more control systems are configured to control the use of the autonomous mode. The processing circuitry is configured to, based on the estimated SoH, determine whether or not the vehicle shall use the autonomous mode.

  • Patent number: 9690299
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for control of a flying wing. The flying wing is arranged to be controlled to move along a predetermined trajectory by means of a fluid stream passing a wing of the flying wing. The flying wing comprises at least one control surface for controlling the movement of the flying wing along the predetermined trajectory. The flying wing is positioned in a reference frame where the x-axis is directed horizontally along a level L above which the flying wing moves, the y-axis is perpendicular to the x-axis in a vertical direction and the z-axis is perpendicular to the x-axis along the level L in a direction along the principal direction of the fluid stream. The invention further relates to a system comprising a flying wing and a computer-readable medium for use with a flying wing.
