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...

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...

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...

This paper proposes an intelligent regenerative braking control of hybrid buses through a neuro-fuzzy controller (NFC) by combining the fuzzy logic algorithm and the artificial neural networks. The braking torque distribution between the integrating starting generator (ISG) and the friction disc brake is addressed through the proposed NFC. The results of simulation and validation show that the ...
