| 180170000 | WITH MEANS RESPONSIVE TO SPEED OF VEHICLE FOR MAINTAINING SPEED AT, OR PREVENTING IT FROM EXCEEDING, A PARTICULAR VALUE | 14 |
| 20080251307 | Speed Limiting for a Light-Weight Utility Vehicle - A method of limiting speed of a light-weight utility vehicle is provided. The method includes receiving a terrain roughness signal generated from a motion sensor. The signal indicates a roughness of a terrain over which the utility vehicle is traversing. The method additionally includes determining a peak-to-peak amplitude of the terrain roughness signal and limiting the speed of the utility vehicle if the peak-to-peak amplitude is greater than a maximum threshold. | 10-16-2008 |
| 20080314666 | Acceleration control system - An acceleration control system controls acceleration of a vehicle to match the driver's feeling. In this control, the vehicle is controlled so that acceleration remains constant at the initial stage and then a differentiated value of a square power of a vehicle speed remains constant. This control is based on the finding of a normal acceleration operation attained by a driver. A linear relation exists between the acceleration in the initial stage of acceleration and the differentiated value of the square power of the speed. Switching of control from the constant acceleration to the constant differentiated value of the square power of the speed is made at a change-over speed determined by the linear relation. | 12-25-2008 |
| 20090127012 | METHOD FOR PREVENTING UNCONTROLLED ROLLBACK - A method and a motor vehicle applying that method for preventing an uncontrolled rollback of a motor vehicle is suggested, said method comprising means for influencing the torque transmission by a drive train. In case a rollback action is detected, namely a movement in opposite direction as the predetermined direction of movement, the transmission of torque is influenced such that a torque is transmitted via the drive train acting against the rollback direction and the torque does not exceed a defined maximum value. The control allows a controlled rollback by making the intervention by the system to be perceived little disturbing, but at the same time in particular in case of strong incline of the road does not render the driver non-informed about the actual incline. | 05-21-2009 |
| 20100051371 | Methods and Apparatus for Moving a Vehicle Up or Down a Sloped Surface - A system and method for safely moving a vehicle up or down a sloped surface is provided. In one embodiment, a method involves operating the vehicle in a sloped surface mode when at least one ground contacting element for moving the vehicle is on the sloped surface. An amount of torque is provided to the at least one ground contacting element to prevent the vehicle from uncontrollably moving down the sloped surface while in the sloped surface mode of operation. An assist mechanism can be coupled to the propulsion system to enable an operator to guide the vehicle. | 03-04-2010 |
| 20130175105 | TRACTOR HAVING DUAL HYDROSTATIC DRIVE WITH SINGLE HAND CONTROL AND ATTACHMENT ADAPTER FOR POWERED ATTACHMENTS - A tractor has a base for supporting a motive power source, left and right driven wheels, and left and right transmissions for the respective left and right wheels. A handle structure is coupled to the base for grasping by an operator from behind the tractor. A drive system drives each of the left and right transmissions with motive power from the motive power source. A single lever hand control is provided for operation by a single hand of the operator for controlling both left and right transmissions seamlessly each between reverse speed through neutral and forward speed. | 07-11-2013 |

| 20140339003 | CONTROL OF A PERSONAL TRANSPORTER BASED ON USER POSITION - An apparatus controller for prompting a rider to be positioned on a vehicle in such a manner as to reduce lateral instability due to lateral acceleration of the vehicle. The apparatus has an input for receiving specification from the rider of a desired direction of travel, and indicating means for reflecting to the rider a propitious instantaneous body orientation to enhance stability in the face of lateral acceleration. The indicating may include a handlebar that is pivotable with respect to the vehicle and that is driven in response to vehicle turning. | 11-20-2014 |

| 180178000 | Including electrically actuated servomechanism | 3 |
| 20150014075 | Velocity-Regulating System Having a Touch-Sensitive Control Element - A velocity-regulating system for motor vehicles has an electronic control device that produces control signals for regulating the velocity of the motor vehicle at a pre-specified target velocity and/or at a pre-specified distance from a preceding target object. The velocity-regulating system has an operating element whose actuation causes an intervention that influences the velocity regulation. The operating element is embodied as a touch-sensitive button that, when the button is pressed, produces a first intervention that influences the velocity regulation, and that, when the button is only touched, for the period during which button is touched, produces a second intervention that influences the active velocity regulation. Once the touching has ended, the original velocity regulation is continued. | 01-15-2015 |

| 20090025996 | Vehicle control device - An electronic control device reduces, after a time at which constant speed traveling control is terminated (specific control termination time) not by an accelerating operation or braking operation but by, for example, an operation of a control switch, the vehicle driving force to a force corresponding to the amount of accelerating operation at the specific control termination time. Also, the electronic control device changes the vehicle braking force to a force corresponding to the amount of braking operation at the specific control termination time by controlling the braking hydraulic pressures with a hydraulic pressure circuit so that the value of a vehicle propulsive force, which takes a positive value when acting in the same direction as the driving force (and takes a negative value when acting in the opposite direction of the driving force) and which has a magnitude equal to a value resulting from subtracting the magnitude of the braking force from the magnitude of the driving force, is equal to or smaller than the value of the vehicle propulsive force at the specific control termination time. | 01-29-2009 |
