The current study investigates the demands that steering places on mental resources. Instead of a conventional dual-task paradigm, participants of this study were only required to perform a steering task while task-irrelevant auditory distractor probes (environmental sounds and beep tones) were intermittently presented. The event-related potentials (ERPs), which were generated by these probes, ...

Active Front Steering system (AFS) provides an electronically controlled superposition of an angle to the steering wheel angle. This additional degree of freedom enables a continuous and driving-situation dependent on adaptation of the steering characteristics. In an active steering system, there needs be no fixed relationship between the steering wheel and the angle of the road wheels. Not onl...

This paper presents an integrated controller for autonomous articulated electric vehicle (AAEV) path tracking and rollover prevention. The AAEV is vulnerable to due the characteristics of frame steering (AFS) mechanism, which shows improved maneuverability agility but not front wheel steering. In addition, ratio between height track width high, so prone rolling over. Therefore, proposed was des...

Steering techniques are widely used for navigation of single agents or crowds and flocks. Steerings also have the potential to coordinate movement of human-like agents in very small groups so that the resulting behavior appears socially believable, but this dimension is less explored. Here, we present one such “social” steering, the Walk Along steering for navigating a couple of agents to reach...

increase the utility of high-performance simulations for scientists because it lets them drive the scientific discovery process and interact with their data. They can investigate, calibrate, and correct the execution of their simulations. For example, computational steering lets users interactively maneuver molecule docking in a protein-design simulation,1 interactively examine and control stru...

This paper addresses the challenges associated with steering-angle control of electric power steering for autonomous vehicles, including model parameter uncertainty, dependency self-aligning moment disturbance estimation on tire parameters, and compensation asymmetrical hysteresis behavior in system caused by backlash gears static friction. A variable gain-sliding mode controller is developed t...

A steering by wired haptic system based on disturbance rejection control techniques is presented. High gain Generalized Proportional Integral (GPI) observers are considered for the estimation of tire and steering wheel dynamic disturbances. These disturbances are on line canceled to ensure efficient tracking between the commanded steering wheel angle and the tire orientation angle. The estimate...
