in this study, the roll, yaw and depth fuzzy control of an au- tonomous underwater vehicle (auv) are addressed. yaw and roll angles are regulated only using their errors and rates, but due to the complexity of depth dynamic channel, additional pitch rate quantity is used to improve the depth loop performance. the discussed auv has four aps at the rear of the vehicle as actuators. two rule bases...

The purpose of this study is to understand the nonlinear dynamics of longitudinal ground vehicle traction. Specifically, single-wheel models of rubber-tired automobiles under straight-ahead braking and acceleration conditions are investigated in detail. Customarily, the forward vehicle speed and the rotational rate of the tire/wheel are taken as dynamic states. This paper motivates an alternati...

Articulated liquid cargo vehicles transporting inflammable fuels and dangerous chemical products require special consideration when traveling on urban roads or cruising at highway speeds. The road safety and handling of these kinds of vehicles may be adversely affected when negotiating sharp turns or travelling on slippery roads, which may result in either lateral instabilities or complete roll...

The vehicle/bridge interaction moving forces are important for the bridge structure design and the reliability evaluation. Therefore, the dynamic moving forces produced by the vehicles on the bridge structure must be determined by adopting the estimation method or measurement techniques. Direct measurement of the vehicle moving forces using sensors with higher precision is expensive and is subj...

Indian Rail transport is one of the major mode of transportation, so it must offer high comfort level for the passengers and the staff. However, the comfort that passengers experience is a highly complex and individual phenomenon. The improvement of passenger comfort while travelling has been the subject of intense interest for many train manufacturers, researchers and companies around the worl...

Software has become crucial to develop vehicle systems. Future unmanned intelligent vehicle safety systems will increasingly rely on situational contexts collected at runtime through temporally built ad-hoc and dynamic networks for vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside communications and dynamic adaptation to the contexts to improve vehicle safety and reduce traffic congestion. Context-awa...
