This paper presents the Real-Time Recursive Dynamics (RTRD) model that is developed for driving simulators. The model could be implemented in the Driving Simulator. The RTRD can also be used for off-line high-speed dynamics analysis, compared with commercial multibody dynamics codes, to speed up mechanical design process. An overview of RTRD is presented in the paper. Basic models for specific ...

Presented in this paper is a robust control scheme for controlling systems with time delays. The scheme is based on the Smith controller and the LQG/LTR (Linear Quadratic Gaussian/Loop Transfer Recovery) methodology. The methodology is applicable to undenvater vehicle systems that exhibit time delays, including tethered vehicles that are positioned through the movements of a surface ship and au...

The single vehicle routing problem with multiple routes is a variant of the vehicle routing problem where the vehicle can be dispatched to several routes during its workday to serve a number of customers. In this paper we propose a goal programming model for multi-objective single vehicle routing problem with time windows and multiple routes. To solve the model, we present a heuristic method wh...

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is conducting a research program to investigate the crash compatibility of passenger cars, light trucks and vans (LTV’s) in vehicle-to-vehicle collisions. NHTSA has conducted a series of eight full-scale vehicle-to-vehicle crash tests to evaluate vehicle compatibility issues. Tests were conducted using four bullet vehicles representing ...

objective: to determine the effects of topical administration of 20% oltipraz solution on histomorphometrical and stereological aspects of skin tissue in full thickness skin wounds in laboratory rats. methods: thirty-six male wistar portion rats (220±20 g) were randomly divided into three groups (n=12). on the first day of experimentation, a 1-cm 2 circular wound was made on the posterior surfa...

Traffic scenes in road network needs to be monitored in different dimensional perspective to address the issues generated at various time instances. One of the major challenges observed in traffic scenes in road network is to address the vehicle tracking at different dimensional perspective for various time instances. One such application that has received greater significance is the mechanism ...

This paper presented a new method for four wheel in-wheel-motored electric vehicle to improve handling and stability with the help of sideslip angle observer and braking force distribution. The first part of this study deals with the full description of the basic theory of vehicle dynamic control system. After that four wheels in-wheel-motored electric vehicle dynamics model, as well as desired...

Original scientific paper In order to improve conceptual phase of vehicle development, this research is focused on development of new multi-objective optimization model for determining the optimal parameters of the suspension system. In this research emphasis is on the development of suspension system from the viewpoint of full vehicle dynamics behaviour. The new optimization model consists of ...

A recursive least square RLS algorithm for estimation of vehicle sideslip angle and road friction coefficient is proposed. The algorithm uses the information from sensors onboard vehicle and control inputs from the control logic and is intended to provide the essential information for active safety systems such as active steering, direct yaw moment control, or their combination. Based on a simp...
