In order to realize voltage stabilization and energy saving of rail transit traction supply system, a Li-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) is presented for application in the DC traction grid to reuse the braking energy of the vehicles. According to the models of traction substation, power lines and vehicles, the braking energy saved by BESS is calculated in MatLAB/Simulink, and the perf...

Go-karts are popular sport mini-car in western countries, and there are gaining prominence in developing countries such as Nigeria. Its performance is determined by the chassis design and the braking system is its lifeline. Because of the lack of a suspension system and differentials, a good chassis must be able to bend and twist. This Go-kart is powered by a Yamaha Vino Automatic Petrol 2-str...

Human body models (HBMs) for vehicle occupant simulations have recently been extended with active muscles and postural control strategies. Feedback control has been used to model occupant responses to autonomous braking interventions. However, driver postural responses during driver initiated braking differ greatly from autonomous braking. In the present study, an anticipatory postural response...

As the adaptive cruise control system (ACCS) on vehicles is well developed today, vehicle manufacturers have increasingly employed this technology in new-generation intelligent vehicles. Pulse-and-glide (PnG) strategy an efficacious driving to diminish fuel consumption traditional oil-fueled However, current studies rarely focus verification of energy-saving effect PnG electric (EV) and embeddi...

In the real traffic situations, vehicle would make a braking as the response to avoid collision with another vehicle or avoid some obstacle like potholes, snow, or pedestrian that crosses the road unexpectedly. However, in some cases the spontaneous-braking may occur even though there are no obstacles in front of the vehicle. In some country, the reckless driving behaviors such as sudden-stop b...

According to the self-excitation doubly salient retarder’s braking torque equation and dynamic equation, its braking torque model and the vehicle’s dynamics model can be built using Matlab/Simulink. The simulation results show that the relationship of automobile braking torque, excitation current and retarder speed, and that the variation of vehicle deceleration rate. This method can optimize t...

The adoption of electric vehicles promises numerous benefits for modern society. At the same time, there remain significant hurdles to their wide distribution, primarily related battery-based energy sources. This review concerns systematization knowledge in one areas vehicle control, namely, management issues when using braking controllers. process optimization is summarized from two aspects. F...

Traffic waves are phenomena that emerge when the vehicular density exceeds a critical threshold. Considering the presence of increasingly automated vehicles in the traffic stream, a number of research activities have focused on the influence of automated vehicles on the bulk traffic flow. In the present article, we demonstrate experimentally that intelligent control of an autonomous vehicle is ...
