Advanced Vehicle Control Systems (AVCS) is a key technology for Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and Intelligent Vehicle Control System (IVCS). AVCS involves automatic steering, acceleration and braking control of fully autonomous vehicles. The unmanned control of the steering wheel is one of the most important challenges faced by the researchers. This paper proposes control architecture...

We measured the guinea pig horizontal vestibulo-ocular reflex (hVOR) to high acceleration impulsive head rotations following a unilateral lateral semicircular canal (LSCC) occlusion. We found a significant hVOR deficit for rotations toward the side of the occluded LSCC and this deficit did not show systematic changes over 3 months. We considered the LSCC nerve was still functional as shown by t...

The turning flight of six microchiropteran bat species is described. The bats' abilities to turn tightly were determined by their abilities to fly slowly and to generate high lateral accelerations. Rhinolophus ferrumequinum developed high lateral accelerations by flapping its banked wings while flying at very low speed. Plecotus auritus turned at relatively low speed and at low lateral accelera...

Narrow tilting commuter vehicles are expected to be the new generation of city cars, considering their practical dimensions and lower energy consumption. But their dimensions increase their tendency to overturn during cornering, facing lateral acceleration. This problem can be solved by tilting the vehicle in a way that reduces the perceived lateral acceleration at the cabin during cornering, a...

Stroke affects many gait features, such as gait stability, symmetry, and harmony. However, it is still unclear which of these features are directly altered by primary damage, and which are affected by the reduced walking speed. The aim of this study was to analyze the above gait features in patients with subacute stroke with respect to the values observed in age- and speed-matched healthy subje...

Abstract The paper presents the analysis of lateral acceleration based on a vehicle traveling in circle with double lane change. maneuvers driving and changes were chosen not by accident. Tests carried out popular brand passenger car wet dry surfaces. is equipped high-class electronic equipment that records motion parameters such as acceleration, longitudinal speed others. In study, results sta...

This paper aims to present a stability control strategy for quadruped robot under lateral impact with the help of lateral trot. We firstly propose five necessary conditions for keeping balance. The classical four-neuron Central Pattern Generator (CPG) network with Hopf oscillators is then extended to eight-neuron network with four more triggerenabled neurons, which controls the lateral trot. Wi...

OBJECTIVE We investigated the effect of the passenger head-tilt strategy on the severity of carsickness in lateral acceleration situations in automobiles. BACKGROUND It is well known that the driver is generally less susceptible to carsickness than are the passengers. However, it is also known that the driver tilts his or her head toward the curve center when negotiating a curve, whereas the ...
