Abstract: The example aspects of the present disclosure relates to a pedal module, with an electromechanical actuator, and with a base body, having an inner space and in the inner space, a pedal mechanism with a restoring unit, as well as an actuation plate, wherein the base body and actuation plate are connected to one another such that the actuation plate is rotatably mounted on the base body. Moreover, the pedal module has a coupling element, having a first end and a second end, wherein the coupling element in the region of the first end is situated in operative connection with the pedal mechanism and in the region of the second end is situated in operative connection with the actuation plate. To propose a pedal module with an actuator which has a simple, cost-effective and low-maintenance construction, and moreover ensures the generation of easily usable tactile signals, it is provided that the coupling element has a cavity in which the electromechanical actuator is disposed.

Abstract: An electronic pedal assembly may include a pedal platform and at least one force sensor configured to sense a force applied to the pedal platform. One or more control devices may be communicatively coupled to the force sensor(s) and configured to determine a throttle output for controlling the throttle condition of the vehicle based at least in part on the force applied to the pedal platform and based at least in part on an operating condition associated with operating the vehicle. In some embodiments, the force sensor(s) may be configured to measure a force distribution on the pedal platform. The control device(s) may monitor the force distribution and adjust an operation of the vehicle based on the force distribution. The operation of the vehicle can include controlling the throttle condition of the vehicle or an operation that is different from controlling the throttle condition of the vehicle.
