Vehicle handling and control is an essential aspect of intelligent driver assistance systems, a building block of the upcoming generation of ”smart cars”. A car’s handling is affected by (i) technological (engine, suspension, brakes, tires, wheels, steering, etc.), (ii) environmental (road condition, weather, traffic, etc.), and (iii) human (attentiveness, reactiveness, driver agility, etc.) fa...

Two centrifuge tests on a quay wall and cantilevered retaining with saturated granular backfills were simulated using Finn-Byrne model. Capabilities of model in liquefaction analysis the evaluated. The subjected to horizontal acceleration time history vertical history. constitutive is linear elastic – perfectly plastic Hooke’s elasticity Mohr-coulomb criterion for yield surface assumed backfill...

This study compares postural and trunk responses to translating platform perturbations of varied velocities and directions. A group of 18 young and physically active subjects were exposed to a set of postural perturbations at varied velocities (5, 10, 15, and 20 cm/s) and directions of platform movement (forward, backward, left-lateral, and right-lateral). The center of pressure (CoP) displacem...

Previous analysis of CIREN and NASS data indicate the prevalence of anterior lateral loading to the occupant in side impact crashes. Numerous studies have examined the post mortem human subject (PMHS) response to pure lateral loading; however, the biomechanics of anterior lateral loads to the thorax are not well understood. The goal of this study is to develop a side oblique injury criterion an...

Neuromuscular control of posture as understood through studies of responses to mechanical sudden acceleration automatically has been previously demonstrated in individuals with chronic ankle instability (CAI), but the presence of acute condition has not been previously explored specially in a sudden acceleration. The aim of this study was to determine neuromuscular control pattern in those with...

an enhanced displacement feedback structural control procedure is presented for performance-based design in this paper. at first, a comparative study is implemented assessing three most common active control algorithms including state, acceleration, and displacement feedback controls. the advantage of the displacement feedback algorithm for active control of structures against earthquakes is de...

Abstract The velocity gain of neutral particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) from laser acceleration is always small. A possible scheme to obtain a high speed particle beam multistage acceleration. However, according previous theoretical and experimental studies, generally, lateral larger than longitudinal These transverse velocities destroy the expected quality longitudinally transmitted beam. In ...

The safety of road users is one the priority issues taken into account in both operation and design vehicles. presented work part a study that aims to develop method for parametric assessment driver behavior. driving style depends on their skills psychophysical characteristics, type performance vehicle used by driver, road. This involves continuous measurement longitudinal lateral acceleration ...

The designing of advanced driver assistance systems and autonomous vehicles needs measurement of dynamical variations of vehicle, such as acceleration, velocity and yaw rate. Designed adaptive controllers to control lateral and longitudinal vehicle dynamics are based on the measured variables. Inertial MEMS-based sensors have some benefits including low price and low consumption that make them ...
