In this paper, a new cascaded wheel-slip control strategy based on wheel slip and wheel acceleration measurements is presented. This new algorithm is able to stabilize globally and asymptotically the wheel slip around any prescribed setpoint, both in the stable and unstable regions of the tyre.

the single wheel tester is an experimental device used to measure wheel forces when studying the relation of soil and wheel in a soil bin or in the field. in the model under development, a special frame holding the test wheel is connected to a loading carriage by two pairs of vertical rails and four rollers to provide a floating connection. by applying a driving torque to the test wheel shaft, ...

the majority of existing tractors in iran are not equipped with any tools to measure and display slip and ground speed. this is mainly due to the lack of national standards for measuring tools and instruments of tractors. in current research, an interchangeable system for two wheel drive tractors has been designed. furthermore, it has been assessed after construction. to measure actual and theo...

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...

Mobile Robots are used to venture through types of environments where wheel slip is a threat. Wheel slip is a hazard to mobile robots in that it introduces error in dead reckoning measurement and in some instances causes the robot to halt is forward progress. To compensate for traction loss several methods are used to determine the terrain characteristics. One of these methods is Pacejka’s Tire...

Pursuit Evasion (P-E) problem has been studied as a non-cooperative zero-sum game in Homicidal Chauffer problem [1] in 1960s and in the game of two identical cars [2] most recently. The capture conditions in the two games, which govern the capture behavior, can be determined by solving Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs (HJI) equations. However, the existing game theoretic solution does not consider wheel ...

In road vehicles, wheel locking can be prevented by means of closedloop Anti-lock Braking Systems (ABS). Two output measured variables are usually considered for regulation: wheeldeceleration and wheel longitudinal slip. The traditional controlled variable used in ABS is the wheel deceleration, since it can be easily measured with a simple wheel encoder; however, it can be dynamically critical ...

Wheel slip may increase the risk for wheel rutting and tear up ground vegetation and superficial roots and thereby decreasing the bearing capacity of the ground, but also reducing the growth of nearby standing forest trees. With increased slip, more energy is consumed for making wheel ruts in the ground, with increased fuel consumption as a result. This paper proposes a novel method for measuri...

This paper introduces a novel method for slip angle estimation based on visually observing the traces produced by the wheels of a robot on soft, deformable terrain. The proposed algorithm uses a robust Hough transform enhanced by fuzzy reasoning to estimate the angle of inclination of the wheel trace with respect to the vehicle reference frame. Any deviation of the wheel track from the planned ...

Significant errors of train axle generators (tachometers) are due to wheel slip and slide. In this paper, an algorithm is designed to compensate for these errors. The algorithm identifies the wheel slip and slide by examining the variation of the processed vehicle longitudinal acceleration. Whenever wheel slip/slide is identified, then the vehicle speed is adjusted if a certain condition is met...
