Axle Weighing of In-motion Vehicles

Thermal Property Analysis of Axle Load Sensors for Weighing Vehicles in Weigh-in-Motion System

Systems which permit the weighing of vehicles in motion are called dynamic Weigh-in-Motion scales. In such systems, axle load sensors are embedded in the pavement. Among the influencing factors that negatively affect weighing accuracy is the pavement temperature. This paper presents a detailed analysis of this phenomenon and describes the properties of polymer, quartz and bending plate load sen...

Robust estimation of Ackerman angles for front-axle steered vehicles

The multiple benefits of automating steering in agricultural vehicles have resulted in various autoguidance systems commercially available, most of them relying on satellite-based positioning. However, the fact that farm equipment is typically oversized, heavy, and highly powered poses serious challenges to automation in terms of safety and reliability. The objective of this research is to impr...

Motion Sickness in Automated Vehicles

In an automated vehicle, the driver becomes a passenger. It is said that the driver seldom gets motion sickness or carsickness compared to passengers. This suggests that motion sickness could be a problem in highly automated vehicles. The present paper will discuss motion sickness in automated driving, including countermeasures using a new vehicle control method. Topics / Automated driving, Car...

Acceleration Slip Regulation Strategy for Distributed Drive Electric Vehicles with Independent Front Axle Drive Motors

This paper presents an acceleration slip regulation strategy for distributed drive electric vehicles with two motors on the front axle. The tasks of the strategy include controlling the slip ratio to make full use of the road grip and controlling the yaw rate to eliminate the lateral movement due to the difference between motor torques. The rate of the slip ratio change can be controlled by con...
