As roads become busier and automotive technology improves, there is considerable potential for driver assistance systems to improve the safety of road users. Longitudinal collision warning and collision avoidance systems are starting to appear on production cars to assist drivers when required to stop in an emergency. Many luxury cars are also equipped with stability augmentation systems that p...

Many vehicle control systems were designed and implemented in the last years to enhance performances and stability acting on front and/or rear steering actuators [1,2,3] and/or individual wheel braking [8]; the development of electroactuated differentials allows to transfer torque between wheels from the faster to the slower one in semiactive differentials [11,12,13,14] and in both directions i...

A new hybrid wheelchair/bed system for assisting the bedridden has been developed and tested. The powered wheelchair docks with a stationary bed and reconfigures to a chair to provide full mobility assistance by eliminating the need to transfer the bedridden person from bed to chair. Furthermore, the chair can dock directly and automatically with a toilet to eliminate the need to change seating...

Vehicles with a high center of gravity (COG), such as light trucks and heavy vehicles, are prone to rollover. This kind of accident causes nearly 33 % of all deaths from passenger vehicle crashes. Nowadays, these vehicles are incorporating roll stability control (RSC) systems to improve their safety. Most of the RSC systems require the vehicle roll angle as a known input variable to predict the...

For the vehicle-to-grid system, dynamic performance of vehicle in transportation system is quite crucial. The stability basis whole system. Compared to traditional vehicle, with a torque distribution allows have better performance. method has attracted lot attention from researchers. Most current work focuses on concrete road. To improve lateral critical condition, nonlinear reference model and...

Path tracking plays a crucial role in autonomous driving. In order to ensure the real-time performance of controller and at same time improve stability adaptability path controller, lateral control strategy based on improved LQR algorithm is proposed this paper. To begin with, discrete with feedforward feedback components designed error model vehicle dynamics constructed by natural coordinate s...

In this paper a robust road departure avoidance system based on a closed-loop driver decision estimator (DDE) is presented. The main idea is that of incorporating the driver intent in the control of the vehicle. The driver decision estimator computes the vehicle look ahead lateral position based on the driver input and uses this position to establish the risk of road departure. To induce a risk...

in this paper the effect of braking force error on the dynamic behavior of the truck is investigated. in the previous studies concerning the braking force error on the vehicle lateral deviation, to avoid complexity, researchers have assumed that the vehicle velocity during the braking process remains constant. in the present work, based on the realistic assumption that the vehicle velocity woul...

The decreasing cost of sensory technologies including camera and radar has facilitated the outspread of advanced driver assistance (ADAS) systems into modern vehicles. ADAS systems can operate beyond the scope of stability control, by employing autonomous intervention in both longitudinal and lateral direction. Adaptive cruise control and lanekeeping aid (LKA) are the pinnacles of ADAS technolo...
