Abstract
System, methods, and other embodiments described herein relate to communicating a recommended speed through feedback on a combined pedal for acceleration or braking. In one embodiment, a control system includes a pedal coupled to a first device having a throttle sensor for a vehicle and a first actuator that generates throttle feedback by applying force to the pedal. The control system also includes the pedal being coupled to a second device having a brake activation sensor for the vehicle and a second actuator that generates braking feedback, the first actuator triggers a rotation of the pedal that initiates a braking command through the brake activation sensor according to a recommended speed computed using vehicle data.

A control system comprising:
- a pedal coupled to a first device, the first device having a throttle sensor for a vehicle, and a first actuator that generates throttle feedback by applying a force push to the pedal outwards;
- and
- the pedal coupled to a second device having a brake activation sensor for the vehicle and a second actuator that generates braking feedback, the first actuator forces a clockwise rotation and a reverse motion of the pedal that initiates a braking command through the brake activation sensor according to a recommended speed computed using vehicle data, and the pedal is a single control point for the first device and the second device and includes a centralized pivot on the vehicle and a brake actuator forces a counter-clockwise rotation associated with reversing the recommended speed.
A control system comprising:
- a pedal coupled to a first device, the first device having a throttle sensor for a vehicle, and a first actuator that generates throttle feedback by applying an outward force, the pedal centrally pivoted on a floor for separate control through a first end and a second end and orthogonal to an operator;
- and
- the pedal coupled to a second device having a brake activation sensor for the vehicle and a second actuator that generates acceleration feedback, the first actuator forces a clockwise rotation and a reverse motion associated with a braking command through the brake activation sensor according to a recommended speed from an automated driving system (ADS), and the pedal is a single control point for the first device and the second device and a brake actuator forces a counter-clockwise rotation associated with reversing the recommended speed.
