Braking systems are undergoing major changes to meet new safety and environmental requirements. As a component, the braking system is capable of assisting driver or intervening autonomously when stability car compromised, wants avoid collisions limit consequences an accident by reducing relative speed at impact. With brake actions, goal road fatalities being achieved, this cannot be without hum...

Objective: It is believed that drivers play a crucial role in accidents. Paying attention to brake lights, a driver may find out about danger and react. Rear-end collision accidents refer to the part of the accidents due to driver inattention or slow reaction. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of dynamic flashing brake lights (7 Hz) on drivers' brake reaction time using the driv...

In this study, a nonlinear sliding-mode controller is designed for force tracking of a piezoelectric-hydraulic pump (PHP)-based actuation system, which is developed to replace the current electro-hydraulic actuation systems for automatic transmission (AT) friction elements, such as band brakes or clutches. By utilizing the PHP, one can eliminate the various hydraulic components (oil pump, regul...
