Heavy-duty Vehicle Rollover Detection and Active Roll Control
نویسندگان
چکیده
The safety of road vehicles depends on the yaw-roll dynamics. A loss of roll stability results in a rollover accident. Mechanisms to warn against rollover threat and a rollover avoidance control methodology are crucial in designing a successful active safety warning/control system for heavy-duty commercial vehicles. A dynamic rollover metric, Time-To-Rollover (TTR), has become popular in rollover detection. In this paper, the TTR metric is further studied and two extended versions of TTR metrics are proposed for rollover detection. Based on the TTR rollover detection module, a prototype Active Roll Control (ARC) system is designed. Simulation results show that a heavy-duty vehicle’s roll stability is considerably improved with the rollover detection and active roll control systems proposed. Copyright c ©2005 IFAC

The Development of an Active Roll Control System for Heavy Vehicles
1.1. Background Studies have shown that most rollover accidents involve heavy articulated vehicles, and occur on highways [1]. Three major contributing factors to rollover accidents have been identified: (1) sudden course deviation, often in combination with heavy braking, from high initial speed; (2) excessive speed on curves; and, (3) load shift. The accidents are relatively frequent, and the...
متن کاملAnalysis of Roll Control System to Eliminate Liquid Sloshing Effect on Lateral Stability of an Articulated Vehicle Carrying Liquid
In this paper, the consequences of filled volume on the transient lateral dynamic and stabilities boundaries displacement of an articulated vehicle carrying liquid is investigated. First, a sixteen-degrees-of-freedom nonlinear dynamic model of an articulated vehicle is developed then, using TruckSim software the model is validated. Next, the dynamic interaction of the fluid cargo with the vehic...
متن کاملUnified Chassis Control for Vehicle Rollover Prevention
This paper describes an unified chassis control (UCC) strategy to prevent vehicle rollover and improve maneuverability. In order to detect a danger of rollover, rollover index (RI) which indicates an impending rollover is determined. The rollover index is calculated using estimated roll angle, roll rate and measured lateral acceleration. Lateral and vertical model-based roll state estimators ar...
متن کاملBrake Control Combined with Prediction to Prevent the Rollover of Heavy Vehicles
In this paper an active brake control to decrease the rollover risk of heavy vehicles is proposed. The brake system is activated when the vehicle comes close to rolling over. To enhance the performance of the active brake, this mechanism is extended with a prediction procedure, in which the critical values are predicted in advance using a short time interval. In order to predict an imminent rol...
متن کاملRollover Warning for Articulated Heavy Vehicles Based on a Time-to-rollover Metric
A Time-To-Rollover (TTR) metric is proposed as the basis to assess rollover threat for an articulated heavy vehicle. The TTR metric accurately “counts-down” toward rollover regardless of vehicle speed and steering patterns, so that the level of rollover threat is accurately presented. There are two conflicting requirements in the implementation of TTR. On the one hand, a super-real-time model i...
