Title : Driver response at tyre blow - out in heavy vehicles
Front tyre blow-outs lead to several fatal accidents involving heavy vehicles. Common for most heavy vehicles is a positive scrub radius. This can result in a destabilising steering wheel torque at front tyre blow-out. In this study the safety improvement achieved when reducing scrub radius is quantified. By using a heavy truck equipped with a modified electric power steering system it was poss...
متن کاملAdaptive Continuously Variable Compression Braking Control for Heavy-Duty Vehicles
Modern heavy-duty vehicles are equipped with compression braking mechanisms that augment their braking capability and reduce wear of the conventional friction brakes. In this paper we consider a heavy-duty vehicle equipped with a continuously variable compression braking mechanism. The variability of the compression braking torque is achieved through controlling a secondary opening of the exhau...
متن کاملArtiicial Neural Networks for Tyre Pressure Estimation
We present an application of artiicial neural networks to monitoring the tyre pressure of cars using acoustic data derived from vibrations recorded by an accelerometer. As a preprocessing step for feature extraction we perform a spectral analysis of the sound data. The components of the estimated power density spectrum are used as input patterns for the neural estimator. These patterns are used...
متن کاملSpeed gradient approach to longitudinal control of heavy-duty vehicles equipped with variable compression brake
This paper considers a longitudinal speed control problem for heavy-duty vehicles equipped with variable compression brake. The use of compression brake reduces the wear of the conventional friction brakes, and it is, thus, a preferred way of controlling the vehicle speed during a steady descent or noncritical braking maneuvers. To perform more aggressive (critical) braking maneuvers or control...
متن کاملFractionation of heavy metals in pavement runoff
The transport of anthropogenic constituents by runoff from urban roadways can adversely impact the quality of adjacent receiving waters and soils. Metal elements are the most persistent constituents found in pavement runoff. A section of urban highway pavement in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA with an average daily traffic count of 150 000 vehicles was instrumented to sample lateral sheet flow from the ...
