Visual control of locomotion typically involves both detection of current egomotion as well as anticipation of impending changes in trajectory. To determine if there are distinct neural systems involved in these aspects of steering control we used a slalom paradigm, which required participants to steer around objects in a computer simulated environment using a joystick. In some trials the whole...

the car safety is important for sustainable development of contemporary automobile industry, the researches of the automotive active and passive safety have been universal concern and attention, when the vehicle frontal collision occurred, and the steering wheel and rigid steering column is the main components to make the driver be injured.Based on the extensive collection of home and abroad re...

Visual computational steering environments extend traditional visualization environments by enabling the user to interactively steer the computations applied to the data. In this paper, we develop a new type of computational steering. “Resource steering” extends current visual steering techniques by providing machine resource estimation and control to the user. With resource steering, the user ...

The use of computational steering for smog prediction is described. This application is representative for many underlying issues found in steering high performance applications: high computing times, large data sets, and many di erent input parameters. After a short description of the smog prediction model, its visualization and steering are described. The amount of computation needed to solve...

The paper addresses the problem of vehicle rollover avoidance using reference governors applied to modify the driver steering input in vehicles with an active steering system. Several reference governor designs are presented and tested with a detailed nonlinear simulation model. The vehicle dynamics are highly nonlinear for large steering angles, including the conditions where the vehicle appro...

In today’s world, the effectiveness of electronic active control systems in stabilizing a vehicle’s motion has been recognized; thus, numerous active control systems have been developed to realize effective braking torque and traction control and have been incorporated in mass-produced vehicles. However, an effective active control system for steering is not yet available. Active front steering...

The controlling behaviour of a vehicle is influenced by the performance of its steering system. The steering system consists of steering wheel, steering column, rack and pinion, steering gearbox, and a linkage system. The vehicle is controlled by the behaviour of the steering gear with the spring loaded rack and pinion. This spring loading arrangement consists of yoke nut, spring, and plunger. ...

according to high costs of phase shifters in antenna arrays, new methods for beam steering without phase shifter were introduced. frequency diverse array (fda) concept is another approach to beam steering problem. in this structure, the subsequent antenna elements are fed with stepped discrete frequencies causing continuous scanning of space in time. so a range-angle dependent scanning is made ...

Error detection and recovery are important issues in swarm robotics research, as they are a means by which fault tolerance can be achieved. Our previous work has looked at error detection for single failures in a swarm robotics scenario with the Receptor Density Algorithm. Three modes of failure to the wheels of individual robots was investigated and comparable performance to other statistical ...
