The disclosure relates to system for uploading data from a main vehicle to a cloud server, comprising: a first sensor configured to obtain geo localization information of the main vehicle; a second sensor configured to monitor at least one predetermined characteristic of the main vehicle and/or of the environment of the man vehicle; a communication unit configured to transmit a report to an external cloud server and configured to receive network information from the external cloud server via a wireless communications network, said network information comprising at least one locally varying characteristic of the wireless communications network across a geographic region, and an electronic control unit configured to: repeatedly generate reports by collecting the at least one monitored characteristic and transmit them in predetermined time intervals via the communication unit, modify the predetermined time intervals as a function of the received network information and the obtained geo localization information.

System and method for uploading data from main vehicle to a cloud server

A driver assistance system for a vehicle including an autonomous cruise control to autonomously control at least vehicle speed, position data obtaining unit to obtain vehicle position data, ego-vehicle sensor data obtaining unit to obtain ego-vehicle sensor data related to objects in proximity to the vehicle, works data receiving unit to receive works data regarding current roadworks within a predetermined distance of the vehicle, and a processor to determine, based on the ego-vehicle sensor data, the works data, the position data, the vehicle's position and direction of travel relative to one or more roadworks, and when the processor determines the vehicle is approaching one or more roadworks and the vehicle distance to the roadwork is less than a threshold distance, or when the processor determines that the vehicle is already present within a roadwork and the autonomous cruise control is enabled, disable the autonomous cruise control.

Systems and methods for regulation of autonomous cruise control

A limiting speed display device for vehicle includes a position information receiver, map display device for displaying map image, imaging device, display device for road sign image, limiting speed information determining device, road attribute information determining device, country information acquiring device, limiting speed estimation device, and limiting speed display device. The limiting speed estimation device estimates limiting speed for the road based on country information and road attribute information when the limiting speed information determining device determines that the limiting speed information is not included and the road attribute information determining device determines that the road attribute information is included.
