Brakes and tires are the major contributors for catastrophic failure of ground vehicles. Braking system is the utmost important besides tire to ensure the safety of users and vehicle. Ensuring good condition of brake lining is very crucial to ensure the efficiency of the braking system, where, the worn off brake lining not only endangers life but also damages the entire brake associated parts s...

Integrated vehicle dynamics control with the coordination of several vehicle subsystems is considered. The proposed algorithms of subsystem coordination based on restriction weights into the optimal control allocation allow to achieve lower energy consumption without significant impairment of stability of motion and vehicle handling compared with standard control allocation. The proposed contro...

Drive-train bench system is utilized to test powertrain components of a vehicle such as transmission, torque converter, etc. In order to simulate the real vehicle motion, it is necessary that dynamometers of the drive-train bench simulates the various road conditions such as dry road surface and snow road surface, etc. To simulate the condition that the vehicle is running on the dry road, it is...

Introduction The EPA's PART5 model, similar in structure to the MOBILE5a model, calculates g/mi exhaust emissions of PM and SOx from 12 classes of motor vehicles. It also calculates g/mi emissions of road dust and particles from tire wear and brake wear1. The g/mi emission factors of PART5 can be multiplied by estimates of VMT in a particular region to produce a total inventory of mobile-source...

Nowadays, using advanced vehicle control and safety systems in vehicles is growing rapidly. In this regard, in recent years new control systems, called VDC, have been introduced. These systems stabilize vehicle yaw motion, by yaw moment resulted from tire controlling forces. In this paper, an adaptive optimal controller applied to a vehicle to obtain a satisfactory lateral and yaw stability. To...

An antilock braking system (ABS) is one of the most important components in a road vehicle, which provides active protection during braking, to prevent wheels from locking-up and achieve handling stability steerability. The all-electric ABS without any hydraulic potential candidate for electric vehicles. To demonstrate examine algorithms, this article proposes single-wheel test bench, mainly in...

This study aims to analyze the effect of differences in tire pressure on brake testing at Unit Pelaksana Teknis Daerah (UPTD) Motor Vehicle Testing, Solok Regency, implementation this analysis is find efficiency and deviation braking force tool. Test Brake Tester as well condition calibration optimally so that results test equipment are accurate reduce errors results. research was conducted Tes...

Differences in the toxicity of ambient particulate matter (PM) due to varying particle composition across locations may contribute to variability in results from air pollution epidemiologic studies. Though most studies have used PM mass concentration as the exposure metric, an alternative which accounts for particle toxicity due to varying particle composition may better elucidate whether PM fr...

Although traffic exhaust emissions in Europe have been drastically reduced, airborne particle caused by brakes and tires are still increasing with the number of vehicles. The measurement non-exhaust is an emerging technological challenge. We present a custom setup to investigate brake- tire-wear in-use battery electric vehicle. A separate brake housing HEPA ventilation enabled wear be measured ...
