Patent number: 11724672Abstract: A system controlling an electronic parking brake of a vehicle includes an input device receiving an input pattern from an operator and a parking brake controller receiving the input pattern from the input device. The parking brake controller determines if the input pattern is a respective predetermined pattern for setting the electronic parking brake to one of a primary mode and a secondary mode. If the parking brake controller determines the input pattern is the predetermined pattern for setting the electronic parking brake to the secondary mode, the parking brake controller transmits an electronic control signal for releasing the electronic parking brake until a subsequent input pattern received by the input device is the predetermined pattern for setting the electronic parking brake to the primary mode.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2020Date of Patent: August 15, 2023Assignee: BENDIX COMMERCIAL VEHICLE SYSTEMS LLCInventors: Christopher H Hutchins, Meviltan Mendis, Ron R Stahl, Srikiran Kosanam, Girish Barade

Patent number: 9079500Abstract: A vehicle control system includes a forward vehicle sensor transmitting a forward vehicle message based on a distance to a forward vehicle. An adaptive cruise controller receives the forward vehicle message and receives at least one additional message indicating a respective status of the vehicle, the adaptive cruise controller sets a braking pressure for an adaptive cruise controller braking event above a default braking pressure if the adaptive cruise controller determines, based on the at least one of the additional messages, that the vehicle will maintain stability during the adaptive cruise controller braking event.Type: GrantFiled: July 17, 2014Date of Patent: July 14, 2015Assignee: Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems, LLCInventors: Robert J. Custer, Charles E. Ross, Srikiran Kosanam, William P. Amato

Patent number: 8688349Abstract: When employing an a cruise control system in a commercial or heavy-duty vehicle, an adaptive cruise control (ACC) system (14) is activated upon activation of a vehicle or set-speed cruise control (SSCC) system (16). The ACC (14) remains on, even after SSCC shutoff, to maintain a minimum following distance for a primary vehicle in which the ACC (14) is employed and a forward vehicle. The ACC (14) is deactivated after detection of an ACC shutoff trigger event, which may be driver application of the brakes of the primary vehicle, driver-initiated acceleration for a predefined time period, expiration of a predetermined time period, manual shutoff (e.g., via a switch or button), etc.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2012Date of Patent: April 1, 2014Inventors: Kenneth A. Grolle, Thomas J. Thomas, William P. Amato, Robert J. Custer, Srikiran Kosanam

Publication number: 20140025270Abstract: When providing adaptive cruise control (ACC) in addition to collision mitigation (CM) for a large vehicle, foundation braking is prohibited for maintaining a set following time behind a forward vehicle in order to mitigate unnecessary brake activations. When collision mitigation is activated, the collision mitigation system is given priority over other vehicle control systems with regard to the foundation brakes, in order to avoid a collision. A lateral acceleration module monitors lateral acceleration of the host vehicle during collision mitigation foundation brake application, and if lateral acceleration exceeds a predetermined threshold, foundation brakes are prohibited in order to prevent vehicle rollover.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2012Publication date: January 23, 2014Inventors: Srikiran KOSANAM, Thomas J.
