This paper introduces a dynamic multi-period vehicle routing problem with touting as demand management technique, where customers that have not yet placed an order can be actively encouraged to service sooner. Touting the right customers, such those located nearby who already orders, allows for more efficient routes over time. However, it also increases frequency of visits at touted they are se...

Dynamic robustness and stability control is a requirement for self-driving of autonomous vehicle. Longitudinal control technique of autonomous vehicle is basic theory and one key complex technique which must have the reliability and precision of vehicle controller. The longitudinal control technique is one of the foundations of the safety and stability of autonomous vehicle control. In our pape...

The paper describes the technique for presenting quantitative and systematic modeling and simulation using Bond Graph for the vehicle dynamic system. It is based on the relative contribution of the new generation of a system equation, expression, result analysis and simulation through graphical display. The portioning algorithm can be employed to the existing automated modeling techniques for e...

Articulated liquid cargo vehicles transporting inflammable fuels and dangerous chemical products require special consideration when traveling on urban roads or cruising at highway speeds. The road safety and handling of these kinds of vehicles may be adversely affected when negotiating sharp turns or travelling on slippery roads, which may result in either lateral instabilities or complete roll...

This paper has investigated a novel method of using vehicle dynamic information in de-noising raw INS sensor noises. Vehicle dynamics can constitute additional observation information to be used for improving the integration performance. Since vehicle dynamic model has a low pass filter characteristic, passing the raw INS sensor measurements through it would effectively reduce the high frequenc...

Abstract—In this work a dynamic model of a new quadrotor aerial vehicle that is equipped with a tilt-wing mechanism is presented. The vehicle has the capabilities of vertical take-off/landing (VTOL) like a helicopter and flying horizontal like an airplane. Dynamic model of the vehicle is derived both for vertical and horizontal flight modes using Newton-Euler formulation. An LQR controller for ...

A neural network model reference adaptive controller for trajectory tracking of nonlinear systems is developed. The proposed control algorithm uses a single layer neural network that bypasses the need for information about the system’s dynamic structure and characteristics and provides portability. Numerical simulations are performed using nonlinear dynamic models of marine vehicles. Results ar...
