Paths of Trains with Two-Wheeled Cars
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we study the following simple and mind-puzzling problem: Can a model train car, which runs along an intricate track complete a full cycle around it? In our paper a track will be represented by a simple closed curve, and the cars of our model train by segments whose end-points lie on the curve.

Stability of Three-Wheeled Vehicles with and without Control System
In this study, stability control of a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the front axle, a three-wheeled vehicle with two wheels on the rear axle, and a standard four-wheeled vehicle are compared. For vehicle dynamics control systems, the direct yaw moment control is considered as a suitable way of controlling the lateral motion of a vehicle during a severe driving maneuver. In accorda...
متن کاملTrajectory Tracking of Two-Wheeled Mobile Robots, Using LQR Optimal Control Method, Based On Computational Model of KHEPERA IV
This paper presents a model-based control design for trajectory tracking of two-wheeled mobile robots based on Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR) optimal control. The model proposed in this article has been implemented on a computational model which is obtained from kinematic and dynamic relations of KHEPERA IV. The purpose of control is to track a predefined reference trajectory with the best po...
متن کاملConcurrent Locomotive Assignment and Freight Train Scheduling
The locomotive assignment and the freight train scheduling are important problems in railway transportation. Freight cars are coupled to form a freight rake. The freight rake becomes a train when a locomotive is coupled to it. The locomotive assignment problem assigns locomotives to a set of freight rakes in a way that, with minimum locomotive deadheading time, rake coupling delay and locomotiv...

In this article, a control algorithm for path-following problem of a tractor-trailer system is provided, which at the same time provides the ab...
متن کاملReduction of Odometry Error in a two Wheeled Differential Drive Robot (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Pose estimation is one of the vital issues in mobile robot navigation. Odometry data can be fused with absolute position measurements to provide better and more reliable pose estimation. This paper deals with the determination of better relative localization of a two wheeled differential drive robot by means of odometry by considering the influence of parameters namely weight, velocity, wheel p...
