A Study of Maglev Vehicle Dynamics Using a Reduced-Scale Vehicle Model Experiment Apparatus

A Study on Performance of Simplified Vehicle Models in Optimization of Hydraulic Engine Mounts in Comparison with Full-Vehicle Model

Controller Design for Commercial Maglev Vehicle

An electromagnetic levitation controller design considering guideway deflection is presented. Even though to design a maglev controller to make a vehicle steady suspension under guideway deflection is a key technology in maglev vehicle system, the vehicle-guideway interaction effects haven’t well explored and yet settled. Unlike most approaches based on the linear model, a maglev controller is ...

A study of pedestrian-vehicle accidents in Iran in 2013

Background: In recent decades, ‎due to the increase in users of roads and inadequate attention to the creation and development of appropriate passageways for traffic, there has been a growing trend in traffic accidents and casualties caused by them. The traffic accidents among pedestrians to take necessary measures in a timely fashion should be well studied. This study was conducted with th...

Fuzzy Vehicle Dynamic Control for a Three-Wheeled Vehicle Using Tilt Mechanism

Nowadays, the use of small vehicles is spreading among urban areas and one sort of these vehicles are three-wheeled vehicles (TWVs) which can be competitive with four-wheeled urban vehicles (FWVs) in aspects such as smallness, simple manufacturing, and low tire rolling resistance, fuel consumption and so on. The most critical instability associated with TWVs is the roll over. In this paper a ti...

Vehicle Position Estimation Using Vehicle Dynamic Model

Abstract Accurate vehicle positioning information is essential reliable operation of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). Conventionally, fusing information by attaching an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to the outside of the vehicle with GPS is widely used for this purpose. However, because a linear tire model is used as the dynamic model for positioning estimation, most methods have lo...
