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...

This paper describes a control system for the kinematic variables of an underwater vehicle. Control of underwater vehicles is not simple, mainlys due to the nonlinear, coupled and unknown character of system equations and dynamics. The proposed methodology makes use of a pioneering algorithm implemented for the first time in an underwater vehicle, and it is based on the fusion of a sliding mode...

In this paper control forces and torques automatic distribution algorithms for a vehicle actuators are considered. Base control algorithm is designed by position and path control method for vehicles [1] – [3]. This control algorithm is based on kinematics and dynamics equations of vehicle. Distribution of control forces and torques between actuators is solved by applying of the pseudoinverse ma...

The controllers for active safety systems of motorcycles cannot be synthesized regardless by a suitable analytic dynamic model of the vehicle. Generally the analytical study and analysis of critical driving situations, falls and accidents is a complex task, since these events take place due to the simultaneity of different and complex phenomena. An analytical model able to capture the dynamics ...

The development of Integrated Chassis Control (ICC) systems is a major area of current interest in automotive research. Roughly speaking, research on this topic has been motivated by the desire for increased vehicle safety, increased comfort, and better performance by taking into account and utilising the interactions that exists between the different subsystems of the vehicle. While research o...

Active chassis systems like braking, steering, suspension and propulsion systems are increasingly entering the market. In addition to their basic functions, these systems may be used for functions of integrated vehicle dynamics control. An experimental platform which aims to study the integration control of steering and braking is designed due to the research requirement of vehicle active safet...

Many real time processes have complex, uncertain and nonlinear dynamics. Boilers are nonlinear, time varying, multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems, whose states generally vary with operating conditions. The major problem in controlling that system is that its drum water pressure and steam flow dynamics include an integrator that results a critically stable behavior. Conventional controller p...

in this paper, the effects of roll center height of mcpherson suspension mechanism on dynamic behaviour of a vehicle is studied first and then the optimum location of roll center of this suspension system is determined for a conceptual class a vehicle. adams/car software was used for analysis of vehicle dynamic behaviour in different positions of suspension roll center, then optimization proces...
