Investigation on Vehicle Dynamic Behaviour During Emergency Braking at Different Speed

Study on Braking Panels in High Speed Trains Using CFD

With speed increasing in high-speed trains, due to limitations of other types of brakes, aerodynamic brake has become an important braking method. In this task to make better use of brake’s panel different configurations are examined and the best panel shape which provides the reasonable drag coefficient is introduced. The results of simulations are carried out with the computational fluid dyna...

Autonomous Emergency Braking

If you've ever been involved in a crash you'll know just how traumatic, costly and inconvenient it can be for all involved. That's why at Thatcham we're determined to 'stop the crash' for the benefit of all road users and our experts believe that Autonomous Emergency Braking is the most important new technology we've seen to achieve these ambitious aims. Thatcham is a world renowned motor vehic...

An Investigation Into the Vehicle-Curved Bridge Dynamic Interaction

Simulating the effect of cognitive load on braking responses in lead vehicle braking scenarios

The recently proposed cognitive control hypothesis suggests that the performance of cognitively loading but nonvisual tasks such as cell phone conversation selectively impairs driving tasks that rely on top-down cognitive control while leaving automatized driving tasks unaffected. This idea is strongly supported by the existing experimental literature and we have previously outlined a conceptua...

theoretical and experimental investigation on the vehicle lateral deviation due to the braking force error

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...
