Abstract Autonomous vehicles require safe motion planning in uncertain environments, which are largely caused by surrounding vehicles. In this paper, a driving environment uncertainty-aware framework is proposed to lower the risk of position uncertainty with considering rollover. First, 4-degree freedom vehicle dynamics model, and rollover index introduced. Besides, vehicles' processed propagat...

Compared to conventional poly-crystal NCM, single-crystal NCM reveals significantly improved particle stability and less electrode cross-talk, which not only suppresses rollover fading but also improves performance aspects the cycle life up 4.7 V.

Despite the large size of the Brazilian debt market, as well the large diversity of its bonds, the picture that emerges is of a market that has not yet completed its transition from the role it performed during the megainflation years, namely that of providing a liquid asset that provided positive real returns. This unfinished transition is currently placing the market under severe stress, as f...

The large strain deformation behaviors of an ethylene methacrylic acid (EMAA) copolymer and an ethylene methacrylic acid butyl acrylate (EMAABA) copolymer are evaluated and compared in compression over nearly eight orders of magnitude in strain rate, from 10 4 to almost 104/s. Transition regimes are quantified using dynamic mechanical analysis. The stress–strain behavior of these copolymers exh...

Real-time rollover prevention of Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) is very paramount to their reliability and survivability when operating on unknown rough terrains like mines or other planets of...

BACKGROUND Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is characterized by recurrent attacks of subcutaneous or submucosal edema. Attacks are unpredictable, debilitating, and have a significant impact on quality of life. Patients may be prescribed prophylactic therapy to prevent angioedema attacks. Current prophylactic treatments may be difficult to administer (i.e., intravenously), require frequent administra...

This paper proposes an algorithm for estimating on-line the rollover risk of huge machines moving on natural ground. The approach is based on the reconstruction of lateral load transfer thanks to an observer, able to take into account terrain specificities (grip conditions and geometry). Capabilities are tested through experiments using a grape harvester.

This paper describes the development of an active roll control system for a tractor semitrailer. The design of the hardware and software are explained. Simulations of the yaw-roll response of the vehicle show that the system will provide significant improvements in rollover stability.

This paper analyzes debt maturity structure for a borrower in a setting where creditors are faced with strategic uncertainty. In contrast to the existing literature, I examine the e¤ects of strategic uncertainty on the issuance of debt in an environment where face values of debt are determined endogenously and directly a¤ect investors’ rollover decisions. I …nd that strategic uncertainty has a ...

OBJECTIVE A 2009 study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety found that midsize SUVs with stronger roofs, as measured in quasi-static tests, had lower risk of ejection and lower risk of injury for nonejected drivers. The objective of the present study was to determine whether a similar association exists for other vehicle groups. METHODS Twelve small passenger cars were evaluated acco...
