In the context of future vehicular applications, new models must to be defined to enable the access and interconnection of existing control systems. This paper presents a model of a Gateway for the interconnection between two networks, on one hand IEEE 1609, and on the other hand Controller Area Network (CAN). The former defines Wireless Access in Vehicular Environment (WAVE); the second is a s...

Currently, vehicles are often equipped with active safety systems to reduce the risk of accidents, most of which occur in urban environments. The most prominent include Antilock Braking Systems (ABS), Traction Control and Stability Control. All these systems use different kinds of sensors to constantly monitor the conditions of the vehicle, and act in an emergency. In this paper the use of ultr...

Health loss among motorcyclists is a global road safety problem for which innovative countermeasures are needed. While the traditional motorcycle safety approach has focused on protective gear and rider education, the Safe System approach adopted in Sweden and other countries implies that the road, the vehicle and the road user, in conjunction with a safe speed limit, should interact to create ...

improvement in braking performance and vehicle stability can be achieved through the use of braking systems whose brake force distribution is variable. electronic braking force distribution has an important and serious role in the vehicle stopping distance and stability. in this paper a new approach will be presented to achieve the braking force distribution strategy for articulated vehicles. f...

On-board diagnostics of technical condition the brake system elements provide control during inter-control period operation. The use ABS requires further development on-board diagnostic tools based on new methods using multilevel structural and effect schemes, primarily in terms efficiency parameters. Increase information content by increasing number measured kinematic parameters improving algo...

1 Description of the Model We present a model of headway control in the railway domain, as depicted in Figure 1. In this case study, continuous distributions are used. The abstraction of a guarded command with a continuous probability distribution into one with a discrete probability distribution is described in a recent publication [1]. A more extensive description of the setting plus a closel...

SystemC is widely used in hardware/software codesign. Although it is also used for the design of safety-critical applications, existing formal verification techniques for SystemC are still hardly used in industrial practice. The main reasons for this are scalability issues, the lacking support for many practically relevant SystemC language constructs, and that counter-examples are not always ea...

In this paper we present a sliding mode based vehicle control strategy, which includes anti-lock braking and anti-spin acceleration. This strategy uses the slip velocity as controlled variable instead of wheel slip. The sliding mode control is integrated with an adaptation process for the unknown and varying adhesion coefcient of the tire/road interface. The proposed control method is veried ...

This paper provides a hierarchical control strategy for cooperative braking system of an electric vehicle with separated driven axles. Two layers are defined: the top layer is used to optimize the braking stability based on two sliding mode control strategies, namely, the interaxle control mode and signal-axle control strategies; the interaxle control strategy generates the ideal braking force ...
