چکیده
Nowadays, active safety has a significant place in the automotive field. Recent studies have shown that electronic driver assistance systems could be improved if the wheelground interface could be determined in real time from the drivers requests. So, the aim of this paper is to present a real time estimation of the forces exerted between the wheel and the road, using neural networks. The originality of this study consists in using a limited number of lowcost sensors for the partial wrench estimation. For the moment, the study only considers the estimation of forces Fx, Fy and Fz for purely lateral excitations of the vehicle. The results obtained from the test car of the laboratory are presented, as well as the future improvements to be made. Copyright © 2002 IFAC

Constrained Nonlinear Estimation of Road Friction Coefficient and Wheel Slip for Control of Anti-Lock Braking System
In designing the anti-lock braking system (ABS), some states and parameters of vehicle system such as road friction of coefficient and wheel slip should be estimated due to lack of cost effective and reliable sensors for direct measurement. Because of nonlinear characteristics of vehicle dynamics and tire forces, development of a nonlinear estimation algorithm is necessary. However, considerati...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Road Actual Conditions to Evaluate the Optimal Positioning of Geogrid Using Finite Elements and Dynamic Methods
Roads are subjected to vehicle traffics with different loads and velocities. Geogrid reinforcement is of the best methods for road improvement due to the ease of construction, delay in damage development and financial efficiency. This study evaluates pavement response under different loads and velocities, before and after geogrid reinforcement. A finite element software (ABAQUS) is used for num...
