Automobiles are becoming more and complex as multiple control systems integrated into the vehicle platform. This paper investigates coordination of active rear steering (RWS) torqu...

The Train Communication Network (TCN) is widely used in high-speed train. However, its core technology Multifunction Vehicle Bus Controller (MVBC) is owned by foreign companies, which limits the development of high-speed railway in China. Based on the principle of Multifunction Vehicle Bus(MVB), and analysis of real-time protocol and functions of bus controller to be achieved, this paper descri...

The mechanical behavior of a military vehicle during off-highway operation is complex and highly nonlinear. Some current vehicle concepts include added intelligence through the implementation of sensors and controllers to enable autonomous or semi-autonomous operations. Control systems have typically been developed with controls software where the mechanical plant and sensors are represented as...

The FP7 EU project ISi-PADAS aims at conceiving an intelligent system, called PADAS, to support drivers, which intervenes continuously from warning up to automatic braking in the whole longitudinal control of the vehicle. However, such supporting systems can have some unwanted sideeffect: due to the presence of automation in the driving task, less attention and reaction are needed by the driver...

The TerraMax vehicle is based on Oshkosh Truck’s Medium Tactical Vehicle Replacement truck platform and was one of the five vehicles able to successfully reach the finish line of the 132 miles DARPA Grand Challenge desert race. Due to its size 30 000 pounds, 27 0 long, 8 4 wide, and 8 2 high and the narrow passages, TerraMax had to travel slowly, but its capabilities demonstrated the maturity o...

A holistic vehicle simulation capability is necessary for front-loading component, subsystem, and controller design, the early detection of component subsystem design flaws, as well model-based calibration powertrain control modules. The current document explores concept by means reviewing trends in automotive system available solutions terms model interfaces neutral modelling environments. rev...

This paper discusses a vehicle control augmentation strategy bringing into focus the phase property, and proposes a control bandwidth phase shaping technique which is applicable to control augmentation system design. This paper points out that the problem setting of the control augmentation system design and structure/control integrated design has similarity. As expected from the similarity, it...

The European Directive on the Integrated Pollution Prevention and Control (IPPC 96/61/EG) calls for a cross media impact assessment of environmentally relevant installations. Thus, the concept of Integrated Technique Assessment, based on detailed mass and energy balances and a multi-criteria analysis, can be adapted to the determination of Best Available Techniques (BAT). Therefore, this paper ...

Research for ezecuting large-scale motions of mobile manipulators is described. Mobile manipulator" are mobile bases with an attached arm which function in an integrated manner. Motivation i, given for moving the arm while the base i, moving. Thi, work applies reactive control concept, to achieve this type of motion. Tools for modeling Integrated arm-vehicle kinematics' and dynamics are di,cuss...
