Travel control apparatus monitors following vehicle state to adjust passing maneuvers dynamically.
A vehicle control unit determines turning direction using lateral acceleration, yaw rate, and steering angle inputs.
A friction estimation algorithm adapts using camera predictions and sensor validation to detect road surface changes.
A reconfigurable algorithm estimates longitudinal and lateral tire forces using measured vehicle acceleration, wheel speed, and yaw rate data.
Dual ultrasonic sensors detect water impact on wheel arch linings, reducing computational effort and cost compared to microphone-based systems.
Dynamic air flap control reduces hot air and noise transmission to pedestrians at bus stops while maintaining necessary engine coolant temperatures.
Segmented control systems validate torque requests against dynamic upper and lower bounds derived from road grade, preventing unsafe unintended propulsion.
