Multiple-wheel all-terrain vehicles without a steering system must use great amounts of power when skid steering. Skid steering is modeled with emphasis put on the ground contact forces of the wheels according to the mass distribution of the vehicle. To increase steering efficiency, it is possible to modify the distribution of the normal contact forces on the wheels. This paper focuses on two a...

Alcohol abuse is the dominant cause of fatal car accidents (about 25% all road deaths in Europe). The large-scale implementation systems aimed at realization in-vehicle driver breath ethanol detection therefore high demand. For this reason, we devoted our attention to design an inexpensive and reliable alcohol sensor for use Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS). main challenge development r...

Operational experience with model-driven steering in the linac of the Stanford Linear Collider is discussed. Important issues include two-beam steering, sensitivity of algorithms to faulty components, sources of disagreement with the model, and the effects of the finite resolution of beam position monitors. Methods developed to make the steering algorithms more robust in the presence of such co...
