COMPUTER SYSTEM AND A COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD OF COUNTERACTING MOTION OF A VEHICLE HAVING A DRIVER’S CABIN

A computer system comprising processing circuitry is configured to determine, for a vehicle comprising a driver's cabin, that an engine or a motor of the vehicle has been turned off; receive, from a gradient determining device provided on the vehicle, information indicative of the gradient of the ground on which the vehicle stands; receive, from a sensor device of the vehicle, information indicative of the vehicle being in motion; determine, based on information or based on lack of information from an in-cabin sensor of the vehicle, that the driver is outside of the cabin; and control a gear arrangement of the vehicle to engage a forward gear or a reverse gear based on the information from the gradient determining device, in order to counteract movement of the vehicle due to the gradient of the ground.
