Optimal mode changes for highway transportation safety
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of designing a decentralized advance hazard warning system for highway transportation systems entails the development of efficient switching controllers. In this paper, we represent the vehicle dynamics by a finite number of modes, each of which is represented by a low order transfer function and a constant time delay. The problem of highway safety analysis then gets translated into that of the stability analysis of a parameterized hybrid system. We present an analysis framework and some preliminary original results.

Comparative Research on Optimal Damping Matching of Seat System for an off-Highway Dump Truck
To protect the driver of off-highway dump trucks from the harmful vibration, this paper presents the comparison results to determine the optimal damping of the seat system by different optimization design plans. Three optimization schemes are considered including individually optimizing the damping of the cushion, individually optimizing the damping of the seat suspension, and integrately optim...

One of the main challenges for transportation engineers is the consideration of pedestrian safety as the most vulnerable aspect of the transport system. In many countries around the world, a large number of accidents recorded by the police are composed of accidents involving pedestrians and vehicles, for example when pedestrians may be struck by passing vehicles when crossing the street. Carefu...

Systematic, well-designed research provides the most effective approach to the solution of many problems facing highway administrators and engineers. Often, highway problems are of local interest and can best be studied by highway departments individually or in cooperation with their state universities and others. However, the accelerating growth of highway transportation develops increasingly ...
