    Abstract: A parking brake apparatus is provided for a vehicle having components of a parking brake system. The parking brake apparatus comprises a parking brake controller arranged to (i) obtain a first signal indicative of whether a hill start assist system is installed on the vehicle, and (ii) provide one or more control signals to be applied to components of the parking brake system to apply parking brakes when the first signal is indicative of a hill start assist system installed on the vehicle is present and a second signal indicative of the hill start assist system being activated is received.

    Abstract: A parking brake apparatus for a vehicle includes a parking brake controller controlling a parking brake system and arranged to obtain one or more input signals indicative of one or more actions from one or more vehicle systems other than the parking braking system. The parking brake controller is also arranged to provide one or more control signals to be applied to components of the parking brake system to apply parking brakes based upon an adaptive time delay to prevent a vehicle rollaway when the one or more input signals are indicative of the one or more actions meeting respective one or more predetermined conditions.

    Abstract: A system for determining vehicle direction includes an active wheel speed sensor (aWSS), an exciter ring for inducing a change in a signal from the aWSS and a controller. The controller receives a first series of signals from the aWSS, compares them to an array of predefined signals and determines the direction of travel based on the first series of signals matching the array. The controller receives a second series of signals and determines the exciter ring has an anomaly in response to at least one signal in the second series of signals having a first variance. The controller updates the array of predefined signals to include a representation of the first variance to create an array of updated signals. The controller determines the direction of travel based on a subsequent series of signals matching one of the array of predefined signals and the array of updated signals.

    Abstract: A tamper detection system for a controller includes a housing, a circuit board mounted in the housing, a voltage input line on the circuit board receiving an operating voltage, a light detection circuit mounted on the circuit board receiving the operating voltage from the voltage input line and a signal conditioning device conditioning the operating voltage and connected to the light detection circuit. The light detection circuit interrupts the operating voltage at the signal conditioning device in response to detecting a source of light having a light value greater than a threshold.

    Abstract: An installation system for an associated housing includes a sensor and a tool. The sensor includes: a barrel portion, a sensing end of the barrel portion, a non-sensing end of the barrel portion, an over-mold portion at the non-sensing end, and a wire extending from the non-sensing end. The tool includes a handle and an applicator secured to the handle. The applicator includes a first applicator portion, a second applicator portion, and a channel. When the over-mold portion of the sensor is proximate to a channel opening and the channel opening is blindly inserted into the associated housing opening, a force applied to the handle along an angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the handle frictionally seats the sensor in the associated housing.
