A robust wheel slip controller for electric vehicles is introduced. The proposed wheel slip controller exploits the dynamics of electric traction drives and conventional hydraulic brakes for achieving maximum energy efficiency and driving safety. Due to the control of single wheel traction motors in combination with a hydraulic braking system, it can be shown, that energy recuperation and vehic...

This paper describes an extension of previous work on an eye gaze/ head tracking control of a four wheel drive, rough terrain wheelchair (for the ‘adventurous’ disabled), provided with three levels of control which permit a safe teleautonomous style navigation. Here a remote tele-autonomous mode is tested with an eye gaze/ head track system and experimental results reported. In essence, the fou...

For many, in wheel motors offer a panacea for vehicle design. However, history shows the delivery of an acceptable in wheel motor is a deeply challenging task which is dedicated to understanding aggressive torque and speed requirements behind demands on vehicle performance such as high speeds or sustained hill climb, and even aggressive driving, all of which are allowed by delivery of high cont...

In order to remain on the forefront of driving simulation technology, it is necessary to continually upgrade and expand the capabilities of the NADS. One extension that is suggested by recent trends in the automotive marketplace is the ability to simulate hybrid electric vehicles. Support of hybrid electric vehicles by the NADS is motivated by the engineering and human factors challenges of des...

in this paper, an adaptive rule based controller for an anti-lock regenerative braking system (arbs) of a series hybrid electric bus (sheb) has been proposed. the proposed controller integrates the regenerative braking and wheel anti-lock functions by controlling the electric motor of the hybrid vehicle, without using any conventional mechanical anti-lock braking system. the performance of the ...
