Abstract: A vehicle control system for a vehicle may include a brake assembly for applying negative torque to one or more wheels of the vehicle, a grill shutter assembly that directs airflow over the brake assembly when opened, and prevents airflow toward the brake assembly when closed, and a controller that calculates a target brake temperature, the controller being operably coupled to the grill shutter assembly to control positioning of the grill shutter assembly based on a comparison between a current brake temperature to the target brake temperature.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for vehicle turning in confined spaces are disclosed herein. An example apparatus disclosed herein instructions, at least one memory, a processor to execute the instructions to operate a first brake of a first wheel of a vehicle, operate a second brake of a second wheel of the vehicle, determine a frictional coefficient of a driving surface of the vehicle by rotating a third wheel of the vehicle, determine based on the frictional coefficient, if a turn command can be conducted by the vehicle, and when the turn command can be conducted, conduct the turn command.
