Systems and methods are described for a lane crossing assistance system for a vehicle. An electronic controller is configured to automatically detect a first crossing lane intersecting with a current lane occupied by a host vehicle. The electronic controller determines, based at least in part on sensor data received from the at least one object sensor mounted on the host vehicle, whether a crossing vehicle is present in the first crossing lane and moving towards an intersection of the first crossing lane and the current lane occupied by the host vehicle. The electronic controller then calculates a first lane crossing vehicle arrival time and a first lane crossing time. A cross traffic guidance indicator is configured to produce an indication perceivable by a driver of the host vehicle that the intersection cannot be crossed by the host vehicle under current conditions.

Cross-traffic assistance and control

A device for current or voltage supply in a vehicle trailer or vehicle support which is connected with a pulling vehicle through at least one braking light conductor and an indicating conductor and has at least one electrical consumer, the device has an indicator formed so that a current flows through the indicator permanently and its intensity is selected so that in an error-free operation the indicator does not respond, while a voltage supply to an electrical consumer of the vehicle trailer is performed by the current.

Device for current or voltage supply in vehicle

To improve traction and roadability in motor vehicles, particularly trucks or buses, it is proposed that when a traction control means comes into play, suitable traction-promoting systems such as special chains or gravel spreaders are automatically activated, by triggering suitable adjusting cylinders for the traction-promoting systems simultaneously with the ASR valve.
