In today’s world, the effectiveness of electronic active control systems in stabilizing a vehicle’s motion has been recognized; thus, numerous active control systems have been developed to realize effective braking torque and traction control and have been incorporated in mass-produced vehicles. However, an effective active control system for steering is not yet available. Active front steering...

Guiding a remote vehicle when real time image transmission is not possible is an important problem in the field of teleoperation. In such a situation, it is impractical to put an operator behind a steering wheel and expect accurate steering. In semi-autonomous teleoperation, an operator designates the path that the vehicle should follow in an image of the scene transmitted from the vehicle, and...

Agricultural vehicle navigation includes both on-road and on-field operations. The objective for on-road navigation is to guide the vehicle traveling on paved or prepared road according to a scheduled path plan, and for on-field guidance is to guide the vehicle following crop rows without overrun on crops. In this paper, the authors have presented an on-field navigation system with redundant se...

Guiding a remote vehicle when real time image transmission is not possible is an important problem in the field of teleoperation. In such a situation, it is impractical to put an operator behind a steering wheel and expect accurate steering. In semiautonomous teleoperation, an operator designates the path that the vehicle should follow in an image of the scene transmitted from the vehicle, and ...

Using an Electric Differential (ED) in electric vehicle has many advantages such as flexibility and direct torque control of the wheels during cornering and risky maneuvers. Despite its reported successes and advantages, the ED has several problems limits its applicability, for instance, an increment of control loops and an increase of computational effort. In this paper, an electric differenti...

This paper considers the perpendicular reverse parking problem of front wheel steering vehicles. Relationships between the widths of the parking aisle and the parking place, as well as the parameters and initial position of the vehicle for planning a collision-free reverse perpendicular parking in one maneuver are first presented. Two types of steering controllers (bang-bang and saturated tanh-...

ESP is an active safety system for road vehicles to control the dynamic vehicle motion in emergency, the composition and working principle of ESP were introduced in the paper, and the control technology of ESP was studied too. A virtual prototype model of a vehicle model was built in ADAMS/Car, and the yaw fuzzy control co-simulation model of vehicle was established in Matlab/Simulink, to study...
