Recently, automatic steering systems for emergency obstacle avoidance have been studied extensively. The control input of such active steering control systems can be classified into the steering angle and the steering torque input. The steering torque based control provides some degree of freedom for drivers to control the vehicle motion, thus it has potential for development as steering assist...

INTRODUCTION Pediatric emergency mass critical care during disasters requires modifications to standard healthcare operations. Modification of standards for pediatric emergency mass critical care should include incorporation of family-centered care principles. Family-centered care, which is an integral aspect of current pediatric practice, encourages active participation of the child's family i...

Shorter available development times and fewer vehicle prototypes have increased the subsystem-based investigation on test rigs within automotive process. Steering systems exhibit a direct interface to driver, therefore, posing high requirements control performance of bench, especially for perception steering feel. This work proposes three approaches improve force permanent magnet linear motors ...

this research presents a guidance-assistance system for agricultural swing machines. the new automatic steering system controls the vehicle based upon the position of the traces of the previous operation carried out on the field. for each image the trace of the tilled soil by seed drill is placed either on the center line, or on either side of the line. for traces coinciding with images' c...

[Abstract] An automated E/H steering controller is essential for autonomous off-road equipment. This paper presents a methodology for designing the E/H steering controller through a combination of testing and simulation. The steering kinematic model provides the steering linkage gain between the hydraulic actuator and the front wheel. The model makes it possible to close the steering control lo...

"Guidelines for Clinical lntracardiac Electrophysiological and Catheter Ablation Procedures" was approved by the American Heart Association SAC/Steering Committee in May 1995 and the American College of Cardiology Board of Trustees in March 1995 and was endorsed by the North American Society of Pacing and Eleetrophysiology Board of Directors in May 1995. This statement is being published simult...

The steering performance of off-road tires on sandy soil has a great influence the maneuverability vehicle, which long been studied by scholars. However, discrete element method (DEM) modeling tire sand is still lacking. In this paper, an model established using method, and parameters are calibrated based triaxial compression test inclined plate experiment. Then, verified reduced-scale single w...

There are a variety of factors affecting steering performance on off-road vehicles, including vehicle dynamics and soil stiffness. It is essential to understand the steering dynamics for designing a reasonable electrohydraulic (E/H) steering control system for wheel-type tractor. A computer-controlled E/H steering simulator, consisting of a steering actuator and a steering load simulator, is an...

A person’s ability to perform a task is often limited by their ability to maintain balance. This is particularly true in lateral work performed in seated environments. For a truck driver operating the shift lever of a manual transmission, excessive shift forces can necessitate pulling on the steering wheel with the other hand to maintain balance, creating a potentially unsafe condition. An anal...
