Indoor Platoon Driving of Electric Wheelchair with Model Error Compensator along Wheel Track of Preceding Vehicle
نویسندگان
چکیده
As one of the leading method of electric wheelchairs, platoon driving using Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) has been proposed to keep constant time-headway. The platoon driving system has been widely used assuming straight roads that has good visibility, but has not been used in narrow corridor. While, the gross weight of wheelchair changes drastically depending on passenger’s weight. In this paper, a novel platoon driving system is proposed for narrow corridor driving. The platoon controller is constructed with the intervehicle distance control based on ACC and precise lateral control based on target point following along wheel track of preceding wheelchair. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by the driving experiments at the corner in narrow corridor.

متن کاملModelling and Test Verification of Suspension Optimal Damping Ratio for Electric Vehicles Considering Occupant-cushion and In-wheel Motor Effects
The damping ratio of chassis suspension is a key parameter for damping matching of in-wheel motor vehicles (IWMVs). Because the motor is attached to the driving wheel, the initial design method of the damping ratio for traditional cars is not entirely suitable for IWMVs. This paper proposes an innovative initial design method of the damping ratio for IWMVs. Firstly, a traveling vibration model ...
