With the aggravation of energy crisis and environmental problems, new electric vehicle industry has ushered in vigorous development. However, with continuous increase car ownership, traffic accidents other issues have gradually attracted widespread attention. Some existing stability coordination control systems often such as single judgment method strong coupling between different subsystems. T...

Roll dynamics in heavy freight vehicles is characterized in driving conditions by the lateral load transfer coe  cient. The coe  cient tracking requires sophisticated measurement systems for assessing the wheels’ normal loading. In this paper a new recursive non-linear lateral load transfer estimator employing sensors that are already used on a vehicle in combination with additional units tha...

Non-linear characteristic of tire forces is the main cause of vehicle lateral dynamics instability, while direct yaw moment control is an effective method to recover the vehicle stability. In this paper, an optimal linear quadratic regulator (LQR) controller for roll-yaw dynamics to articulated heavy vehicles is developed. For this purpose, the equations of motion obtained by the MATLAB softwar...

We develop a multi-period capacitated flow refueling location problem for electric vehicles (EVs) as the EV market responds to the charging infrastructure. The optimization model will help us determine the optimal location of level 3 chargers as well as the number of charging modules at each station over multiple time periods. Our model can also be applied to fast-filling gaseous alternative fu...

Research on the autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) has been gaining more interest in the recent past. AUVs have been envisioned as a cost effective and safe solution for various underwater missions including but are not limited to underwater scientific test-bed, deep oceanic surveillance, environmental monitoring and underwater structures inspection. The control for such autonomous vehicles,...

This paper considers the problem of engine-to-slip dynamics modeling in a sport motorbike. Instead of using the classical approach of multibody modeling, this work takes the challenge of directly estimating the input/output slip dynamics by black-box identification, using data collected with experiments specifically designed for this purpose. The proposed identification protocol allows to deriv...

Enabling Internet to Vehicular multicast communication is fraught with challenges due to the heterogeneous nature of the two networks. While the conventional multicasting in the Internet relies on ”structured” multicast routing, it is not clear how robust can be such routing structure in vehicular networks. We study the robustness of the multicast routing structure in vehicular networks for dat...

Flapping foils found in nature such as bird and insect wings and fish fins are being studied for potential use in micro aerial vehicles and autonomous underwater vehicles. The fluid dynamics associated with these foils is extremely complicated and much remains to be learnt in this arena. Experimental investigations of flapping foils in nature are limited by their inability to provide full-field...

In analogy to the ow of uids, it is expected that the aggregate density and the velocity of vehicles in a section of a freeway adequately describe the tra c ow dynamics. The conservation of mass equation together with the aggregation of the vehicle following dynamics of controlled vehicles describes the evolution of the tra c density and the aggregate speed of a tra c ow. There are two kinds of...
