Provided is a system and method for imitating control signals from physical input mechanisms of a vehicle. Examples of such physical input mechanisms include a gas pedal, a brake pedal, and the like. In one example, the method may include receiving an acceleration value from a planning system associated with a vehicle and a state of the vehicle from a state estimation system, converting, via a software control node, the acceleration value and the state of the vehicle into at least one of an engine torque value and a brake pressure value, generating a control signal for controlling a speed of the vehicle based on the at least one of the engine torque value and the brake pressure value, and transmitting the control signal to a control system of the vehicle.

Physics-based acceleration control node

Provided are systems, methods and computer program code for estimating a current mass of a vehicle and a trailer.

Systems and methods for real-time tractor-trailer mass estimation

Provided is a system and method for interfacing with physical input mechanisms of a vehicle and electrically controlling signals from the physical input mechanisms to a computer of the vehicle. Examples of such physical input mechanisms include a gas pedal, a brake pedal, a turn signal stalk, a button, and the like. In one example, the method may include receiving, via a first interface, a request to actuate a component of a vehicle that is controlled by a physical input mechanism, generating, via a processor, a control signal that corresponds to an actuation signal from the physical input mechanism, and transmitting, via a second interface, the generated control signal to a control unit of the vehicle for actuating the component of the vehicle.
